Seven days and no sign of Malaysian flight 370.

Anyone care to speculate on what happened?

Somethings definitely not right...or officials are not telling the whole story at the moment....
Between Military/civilian Radar, Transponders, & Gps data, & I heard the engines report to the ground in flight...good question..after 7 days!

Its either a government conspiracy, or it crashed in the ocean nose first(leaves little debris to scatter) or it was hijacked and being hidden somewhere.

Interesting story to follow. Sabotage certainly seems a possibility.

My guess is that it is in the ocean because there was no crash locator beacon but it flew a lot longer than they initially thought and the area that the plane could be in is a fairly large part of the world. Likely a takeover by someone maybe one of the pilots who would know to turn off the transponder. It will probably take a long time to find and may never be found. Very odd indeed....

"Classified analysis shows it took one of 2 possible paths".

I'm going with, "If a tree falls and no one is around to hear it fall, does it make a sound?"

So, unless a government agency like the US was watching it to begin with, (why were they watching it to EVEN begin with unless THEY knew something) how was there any classified analysis?

There is nothing classified of how a Boeing commercial jetliner works. We know more about Airforce 1 then civilian aircraft.

Haven't heard much on the Alien theory, but seems to something that will be discussed if the don't find the plane.

On reflection I will guess it is a pilot suicide. If it were a takeover by terrorist there would be some group taking credit for it or demands for something but so far there has been nothing about that. The pilot did almost everything possible to evade detection and may not have known about the pinger on engine data link that was almost turned off. Only a pilot of someone with pilot training would know all of the tricks necessary to evade detection. It still could be a takeover by a passenger but not as likely as the pilots. One of them disabled or kiled the other. I will guess it is in the Souther Indian Ocean way out of normal sea lanes so not likely to be found anytime soon. Malaysia may have botched this badly.

those thing report enough data they know whats going on, they are just making up BS so they can have enough time to go through it all to make a good excuse as to what they are going to say happened. the longer they have to come up with something that doesnt make them liable the better for them
