Its much easier to find a place to land it than take off with it.

Please clarify which of my "idle speculations" made you conclude I was no different?

are you serious with this, I can hardly make it more clear.
1) you said "facts will be inconsequential from here on"
2) I pointed out that as of now there are no facts
therefore conclusion:
you are engaging in speculation because you are referring to what you think people will do in the future. you don't know that any of the people on here posting various theories will in the future consider facts that emerge inconsequential.
Newsflash: when there is a real mystery like this one, people try to figure it out, try to solve it. it's human nature and I'm sure you know that. yes some theories are far fetched perhaps but none of us yet can be certain so running around acting as if everyone else except yourself is acting foolish is tiresome.
IF facts emerge about this flight and THEN people ignore those facts and continue to cling to theories not supported by the facts, your point becomes valid, but not before.

Totally agree. It's just a shame the families are caught up in all this possible espionage and foul play.

7 hours of flight after?
If this plane is still intact, somebody now has a giant bomb with a 6 thousand mile range, that can fly 600 miles an hour.
I hate to say it, but I hope it's crashed somewhere. This thing could be the largest dirty bomb ever imagined

Thanks for posting link, I appreciate it. Too many stories going around. Washington Post is a reliable source IMO.

We are not begin told the truth, IMHO.
One of the first things the Malaysians came out with is that it was not terrorism.
No possible way anyone could have made that conclusion so early on. CNN had story today about the plane going up so high, maybe to kill the passengers.....how did they stop any cell phone contact from the cabin?

I wonder if the pilot can decompress the cabin without decompressing the cockpit. If so, an easy way to kill the 239. IF the plane was hijacked, upon landing the terrorists do not want to deal with all those people. Just a thought.

Some guy said there were airfields made during WWII that are on islands that are not now populated.
A pilot guy said it is possible to land in a small field and then dismantle to ship anywhere, reassemble and have functional plane.
As far as satellites seeing license plates, can they do that in the middle of the night? The pilots were flying on instruments, they could have killed all lights but a flashlight.
As far as phones still working, don't you have to be within 10 miles of a tower? Do smartphones link directly to satellites?

There are times my cell phones (Verizon) can't get a signal in the middle of Manhattan. Is there a signal over the Indian Ocean?

I promise to be crass in another thread, I will not speculate how to kill these people for respect. The assemble disassemble speculation, you better count your toes. If that plane is not under water now, you can bet you ass the next time is's location is acquired tomahawk missile's will join it.

I don't know how these 777 work, but someone suggested that control of the plane could be taken away from the cockpit and ran remotely.

They are fly-by-wire so I would assume so. You would need access to the flight computers.

You maybe be right if your thinking conventionally for take off.
But add these and your strip could be much shorter.

Just saying it's not like they'd be worried about passenger comfort with a smooth take off.
Just a little wood for the fire.
