Malaysian Airways Flight 370

[BENT_8]

Im surprised this saga hasn't made the pages here.
I know we have a number of members who work on Commercial airlines amongst us.

It really is a mystery when you look at all the information filtering through.

Something doesn't seem right to me.

Firstly, the transponder just went dead, this would normally suggest that it was a sudden event which took the plane out before anyone/thing could report a problem. The system on board these planes will automatically log any issues directly with the maintenance crew, nothing has been reported.
That would suggest an airframe failure or explosive device, but then at 35000ft there should have been plenty of evidence of the wreckage over a large area. This is yet to be discovered in an area of relatively shallow waters and calm conditions.

Another theory is that a slow decompression occurred causing the crew and passengers to pass out.
If the plane was on autopilot to hold its airspeed, altitude and direction then it could have flown on until it ran out of fuel, but this wouldn't explain the sudden loss of contact after 1-2 hrs as it had fuel for a 7hr trip and the sudden free fall would have been noted.

Then there are the phone calls to passengers which have rung out, that would suggest that the plane is on land either crashed or landed.

Now Malaysian authorities have claimed it was tracked flying low in the opposite direction and across the Malacca Straight.

The top NTSB investigators are baffled, the whole scenario surrounding the event suggests it is more than just a tragic accident on what is the worlds safest aircraft.

What do you guys think.
