The plans for 9/11 were apparently hashed out in Indonesia. Malaysia hasn't been a hotbed of terrorism thus far, maybe whoever hijacked the plane thought it was time to compete.
All we know now is that we know nothing about what happened to the people or the plane. Likely the people are dead. Likely the plane is in little pieces somewhere. But we don't know.

(10,274 posts)According to British media reports, police are investigating the possibility that Captain Shah hijacked his own aircraft in a political protest.
The pilot was a political fanatic and obsessive supporter of Malaysias opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim, The Mail on Sunday says.
Hours before Flight MH370 left Kuala Lumpur, the pilot is said to have attended a controversial trial in which Ibrahim - who has been harassed and jailed on successive charges of homosexuality and sodomy - was jailed for five years.
Police sources say Captain Shah was a political activist and fear that the court decision left him profoundly upset.
