I wonder if there's some nefarious stuff going on waaaaay behind the scenes? Contradicting reports, phantom plane parts, confusion, a slick that means nothing. It's like someone doesn't WANT it to be found.
Even if pieces were quickly taken by the ocean currents all over the Pacific and/or Indian Oceans, something would at least been found by now.
If it was a terrorist attack, a group would've claimed responsibility by now.
The place was very new, super-safe, top-of-the line and very high-tech. It had a stellar safety record. It's couldn't have just fallen apart. No terrorists claimed any bombing. No pieces anywhere. The plane could be whole.
I have a theory of what possibly MIGHT have happened.
The plane's almost perfectly whole and at the bottom of the ocean a bit off course from when the plane was last scene.
The pilots had a history of letting passengers in the cockpit (much to the chagrin of authorities & regulations).
The two guys with the passports were probably lone-wolf nutsos like the Tsarnev brothers. The two guys waited until the pilots did the "open cockpit" thing, they quickly ran in, shut & locked the door, slashed the pilot's throats, turned off the stuff that made the plane detectable then flew out to open, deeper water & dove in! The end.
It was fast, no one could stop it. This is why no "Maydays" or pilot's sending any distress signals....they were already dead!
Hey, no one ever thought that a bunch of guys would hijack four planes with nothing but box cutters and destroy a major NYC Landmark, put a huge hole in The Pentagon & kill 3000 or so people! But it happened.
