If it was terrorist associated the guilty ones would be bragging all over CNN about it.

This was very well planned and coordinated. Someone turned off that transponder and took the plane below radar contact. Why? That's the million-dollar question at this point.

Investigators trying to solve the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines jetliner are looking at ‘sabotage or hijacking’, after examining military radar data reports suggesting the plane was purposely flown hundreds of miles off course.

Reuters is reporting that analysis of the Malaysia data suggests the Boeing 777 carrying 239 people on board, diverted from its intended northeast route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and instead flew west, using airline flight paths normally taken to the Middle East and Europe.

This points to the theory that the plane was being flown by the pilots or possibly someone familiar with those routes, according to sources in the Reuters report.

I'm bettin someone has that plane and I aint gettin a good feeling about it!!!

We need to find the plane and if no one is alive we wait till they get ready to use it and blow it up before it gets off the ground. and then tell the country it is in to deal with the aftermath and next time these people want to hide an airplane to use as a weapon to think twice about it.

IMHO, The best we can hope for at this point is a debris field to be found somewhere

The fact that no trace can be found should be pretty sobering to the fact that the plane is on the ground somewhere.

The New Straits Times newspaper in Kuala Lumpur is quoting investigators as saying the “person who had control over the aircraft has a solid knowledge of avionics and navigation and left a clean track.”

It quotes investigation sources as confirming the plane flew low over Kelantan in peninsular Malaysia

...

The number of countries involved in the search for the plane has increased from 14 to 22 after new information revealed the plane’s last confirmed position was in one of two corridors, one stretching from the border of Central Asian countries Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to northern Thailand and a southern corridor stretching from Indonesia to the southern ocean.

Authorities in Kuala Lumpur insist they are giving no greater priority to either corridor and have appealed for countries to deploy more ships and planes to a vast expanse of water in the Indian Ocean west of Australia, where there is no land mass for thousands of square kilometres.

But it is understood investigators say it is more likely the plane is in the northern corridor where there are unstable governments, mountainous terrain and extremist groups.

Experts are trying to nail down precisely how far the plane could have flown with the fuel on board but sources say the plane would have been close to running out at the time it was recorded in raw satellite data at 8.11am after departing Kuala Lumpur airport at 12.31am.

Malaysia Airlines has confirmed that no additional fuel than normal was loaded on to the plane in Kuala Lumpur.

It had enough fuel for the almost six hour flight from Kuala Lumpur plus 45 minutes of fuel to spare in case of diversion to another airport.

Investigators are factoring in that plane would have burnt more fuel flying in the denser lower air.

Erratic manoeuvres would also have eaten into the fuel’s reserves.
