In reply to the discussion: Most rational hypothesis on missing Malaysian 777 so far [View all]kentuck
(111,053 posts)I think it was intentionally diverted. I think it was easier to do at night. If your plan is to kill everyone on board, including yourself, why go to all the convoluted maneuvers? Why not just crash it in the ocean??
Did the computer program itself to make a U-turn? What about the nine witnesses on the ground that saw a plane (or something with lights) flying very low over their village?
I think it would take a very evil mind to plan such a tragedy.
If they were to plan meticulously all the details, such as turning off the radios and transponders, why would the plan not include a place to land the plane? Why could they not refuel and put different markings on the plane?
If no one has heard from the passengers, then we are led to believe that they are either being held hostage somewhere or they have all died in the middle of the ocean?
It is rather fatalistic to give up hope at this time, in my humble opinion.
