If it blew up you'd have to think they would have found the debris field by now. Its no secret "where" the plane was cause it was on multiple Dars. If there was a technical problem you'd have to think they would have gotten a message off.

Its starting to look like the pilot rode the thing into the water. Its happened a few times in the past. Of course Im just guessing.

The air france plane that was lost over the atlantic stalled into to the water.  It took two days to find the debris.  The lack of communication, iirc was because the plane was in a dead zone for communication.  :headscratch:

I was thinking 787 / battery fire. If they had a battery blow out and blackout, they wouldn't be able to send any distress message.

The 777 doesn't have the same battery configuration (nor did they use the new lithium batt packs) as the 787 *had* before the fires.

The most interesting information is malaysian radar possibly showing the plane turning around.

What is strange is that the plane did not send any information as the plane went down.  From 35,000 ft it should take two or three minutes to hit the ground.  There should be time for the plane to send faults or any other information out.

Well that's one theory gone out the door then.

From what Ive read there is nothing mechanical that could cause a complete comms blackout. To many backups.

Gradual loss of cabin pressure may be one such event. The crew may be too hypoxic to react once the alarm goes off as it happened with the olympic airlines.

Unless there's a massive short in the electrics and subsequent fire.

so far the most compelling argument I've heard is the possibility of a cargo door opening mid-flight.
Explosive decompression.

Real piss poor taste there don't you think? I guess you tired to make a funny but guess what it sucked.

I was implying that terrorist blew the plane up. Add in the introduced topic of ethnicity. Add in the last 777 to go down and the falsely reported names.  quite the recipe for a funny.  I bit much for some I see.  :ahand

It lost FULL radar contact at 35,000 feet... over WATER.

The only thing that could cause that is a total failure of the aircraft's integrity. Explosive decompression... or more likely, a bomb. The signal would register a major drop in altitude before disappearing as the plane broke up after a structural failure. Or the pilots would inform ATC of a problem. This would have to have been sudden, and catastrophic failure of the aircraft decreasing the mass of the aircraft instantly and cutting all power to communications and the transponder.

Seeing as it operates on the Boeing system it could be the old Hawaii airlines syndrome. (Dad and I never miss Air Crash Investigations) Its operating in Asia. Lots of short hops and constant pressurizing and depressurizing causing cracks that results in explosive decompression. But Malaysian airlines has an outstanding safety record. They have had almost NO accidents in their operational history.

My best guess would be that the stolen passports are actually the beginnings of this. It may be a red herring I know "but if you eliminate all possibilities the impossible however unlikely must be the truth".
