Thanks. I missed that.

There are a lot of governments that know more than they are saying. Who was it that detected a sea floor event? Hello, a sea floor event in the middle of the ocean. 
There are sensors and hydrophones all over the planet. Nothing moves without Big Brother hearing about it.
There are sensors and hydrophones all over the planet. Nothing moves without Big Brother hearing about it.Just left my local gun shop. The wife of the owner said someone just told her the airliner was found with all on board alive. She said the individual told her it was found in the Bermuda Triangle. Gun shop owner looked at her very seriously and said please don't repeat that to anyone else.
CNN "creating news" (When you've run out of things to say),,,,,,,,,,,
"We're looking into the possibility that the US is investigating the possibility that the plane may possibly have headed toward the Andaman Islands".
Also on CNN today you'll be comforted to know that they showed viewers a step by step guide from the inside of a 777 simulator how to
A) disable the transponder
B) Squawk a hijack code
C) Disable ACARS
BRILLIANT!

Got to love the news, we also learned this week how they protect the cockpit when going out for food or bio breaks, Good info to help us find a way to breach security. Can't wait till they demonstrate which airports are vunerable with lax security so copy cats can commandeer additional airliners.

Next thing to expect is for them to run around with their arms outstretched making airplane noises.

All of them.
Two points. First, a 777 is not going to land on a "little drug smuggling landing strip".
Second, even if it could, now what? It certainly couldn't take off from that strip. I think a 777 takes well over a mile to take off.

Saw on the news that a pilot landed a big plane like that on a short runway, they stated that they had to take it apart and put it back together somewhere else.
Doesn't change the facts. Even if it could be landed, it can't take off. Taking it apart would involve more people, a fair amount of equipment, and of course a way to transport all of the components.

Wasn't saying it was practical, just that that had been the case in the particular incident I was referring to. The pilot had made an error in choosing the wrong strip. It could only be done by professionals.

Where's that part of the world's Groom Lake? Assuming there is a place for research and development in that neck of the woods.

Sharp Changes in Altitude and Course After Jet Lost Contact, Radar Shows
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 experienced significant changes in altitude after it lost contact with ground control, and altered its course more than once as if still under the command of a pilot, American officials and others familiar with the investigation said Friday.
Radar signals recorded by the Malaysian military appear to show the missing airliner climbing to 45,000 feet, above the approved altitude limit for a Boeing 777-200, soon after it disappeared from civilian radar and made a sharp turn to the west, according to a preliminary assessment by a person familiar with the data.
The radar track, which the Malaysian government has not released but says it has provided to the United States and China, then shows the plane descending unevenly to an altitude of 23,000 feet, below normal cruising levels, as it approached the densely populated island of Penang, one of the country's largest. There, the plane turned from a southwest-bound course, climbed to a higher altitude and flew northwest over the Strait of Malacca toward the Indian Ocean.
The data, while incomplete and difficult to interpret, could still provide critical new clues as investigators try to determine what transpired on Flight 370, which disappeared early last Saturday carrying 239 people from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Let me see if I have this part of this saga straight. In a post 9/11 world a 600 mph missile was doing acrobatics above Malaysian territory and the Malaysian military, who supposedly is now finally letting us in on their little radar peep show, didn't see fit to send a bird up to see what the hell was going on? Was this followed up with "and we're sticking to it" at the end of their story?
Now that you mention it, Mr. Smith, that lack of responsiveness may help explain Malaysia's reluctance to share the information in a timely fashion.

That is because IF the government used covert sources and/or methods then the information obtained is NONE of the public's business!!!

Here's a couple of radical theories.
1) Nobody knows. Yeah, I know that does suit the Connected World but it can still happen, really.
2) There are some that do know, but the national security rules of their nation prevent them from helping. People can get stubborn about that kind of stuff.
3) Despite the transponder apparently being switched off, I still wonder about a Payne Stewart type event.

BINGO! Just as described in Mr. Comrad's comment earlier in this thread. Here is the link he provided to the manufacturing information about the plane's airframe defect that led to loss of oxygen: Was There A Problem With The MH370 Boeing 777-200 Aircraft??
Everything still pretty much fits with all of the information we currently have about the event. Once the airframe lost enough oxygen and everyone was unconscious, the plane kept flying . . . with no conscious pilots and unconscious passengers' phones ringing, unanswered as anxious relatives called.
Admittedly, I get some of my best exercise jumping to conclusions.
