Pontius Navigator: Thank you. Still don't know why one or the other ATC didn't ask MA Dispatch to try contacting MH370; and agree with you the 'origin' of aircraft might have been seen & known, so no threat via military. My additional reasoning: 1) southern arc might be associated with 'pilot' suicide; 2) northern arc suggests a hijacking; 3) the 'Maldives' points to an inflight 'accident/event'.; & 4) a direct act of terrorism doesn't seem to have happened (attack on Kuala Lumpar, Singapore, Jarkata,etc). My conclusion is that the Malaysian narrative seems to be malleably and purposefully inconclusive.
