Missing Plane - Still No Answers

This has been all over our news. :(
 
I've been watching this every single day and am trying to catch up with the thousands of posts on airline forums.

The Malaysian government are suggesting that somebody took over the control of the 777.

The specialists are claiming that it is the biggest aviation mystery of modern times;
 
how much is a 777 worth?

I don't think they'd pay a ransom on the plane, as they really wouldn't want to encourage skyjacking.
 
here's a thought, maybe....if you had a nuclear bomb, and wanted to blow up a city, maybe you could pay pirates to get you a plane, and then there's your delivery system. Not sure if a large plane could get past defences of a developed country.
 
I heard on ABC news last night that one of the main theories is that it was taken over but that it is lying deep at the bottom of the ocean. :( I don't think they should speculate like that unless they are sure.
 
The news in my area keeps reporting that the plane was airborne for several hours after last contact. I'm still hoping that it will end well somehow, but this isn't looking like an accident.

I heard that too and that the radar or communication was intentionally turned off.
 
the engines send off radio reports about how they're doing, and on the missing plane, the engines continued to broadcast for 5(?) hours after the plane went missing, which suggests that the plane was ok/ flying(?) for all that time.
They said that the plane needed a one and a half mile runway, to land.....maybe there is an unused runway somewhere.
