Malaysian government is not clever enough to cover anything up - epic ****-ups are more their thing.
Aside from having to traverse multiple foreign airspaces - would there have been enough fuel to make it to one of the "*stans"? Could the aircraft be safely down in a desert somewhere miles from no-where - Surely though there are systems in place to locate hijacked aircraft in such circumstances.

Was there any big shot travelling in that aircraft? Any international rivalries, ransom case, or another terrorist act? Just trying to work out why someone would want to hijack that plane.
I really do hope they find its whereabouts, what happened to it etc. soon. One can only imagine the pain of the passengers' relatives.

Search area moved to around 500 miles west of first search area and last know position..... very odd.
About 1 hours flight time - so lots of time to get out pan / mayday or change transponder number as a min.
Also well off planned course by about 200 degrees! Aircraft would not have flown there even on its own - it would have carried on to its next waypoint which was on a rough north bearing - where as the aircraft now seems to have flown south west...![Confused](images/smilies/confused.gif)
Gets stranger and stranger.

Media blackout.... I bet it's landed on terrafirma and is either being held by captors or something along those lines.
2 Iranians with stolen passports on board a missing plane is not just a coincidence....

I just heard on sky new that the transponder can be turned off manually by the cabin crew which I find shocking and also strengthens the theorie than the plane is hi jacked.

actually on a serious note (and thank you Zip - very good, i did see the i in plot - but somehow missed the "thickens" bit - v good)
this has tought us all two things
1.It is the fact that that the world is actually a bigger place that one assumes (with the internet and ubiquitous communications etc etc it seems that everything has condensed)
But in reality vast tracts of the world’s oceans have never been set upon by human eyes
2. The farce we go through in terms of airport security is simply ignored outside of Europe America and Israel
