    For the pilot to kill himself the co-pilot would have to of been suicidal aswell....but that was the first time the 2 pilots had flown with each other.

    Definitely more to it than what meets the eye and thats why the families are so angry.

    One of the obvious scenarios would be decompression of the cabin/fuselage which rendered all onboard unconscious, leading to asphyxiation and the plane flew on autopilot until it ditched...BUT

    That leaves unaswered questions about why the transponders etc were switched off. The last recorded contact with ATC was normal.

    So suicide, as hard as it is to believe is a possibility. But why fly 5 hours and then ditch it?

    So many questions that are likely to remain unanswered. The one thing that is obvious is the total mishandling of this by the authorities. It's a * up.

    They said they hadnt requested to fly together, unless perhaps they had some sort of pact that next time they flew together they would. Seems a bit outlandish (but then no more so than taking all those people with you).

    He could of got rid of the co pilot, either by incapacitating/killing him in some sort of struggle, or, perhaps more likely, he asked him to go do something that caused him to leave the cockpit. Since 9/11 it is now much harder to get into the cockpit, so he could of locked himself in. Climbed high enough to knock everyone out and then be left to finish his plan.

    Admitedly it's wikipedia but I found:

    [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_oxygen_system"]Emergency oxygen system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]

    Perhaps it could of been disabled along with the tracking equipment?

    Those masks also only last for a certain period of time, there really to try and buy time for the pilots to get low enough to where the air is breathable. You couldnt do a whole flight on them (for a full aircraft anyway).

    You made my fear of flying a tad more terrifying lol!

    This is the thing, at the minute their is too many possibilities of what could've happened with little of hope of finding out what actually happened. I'm still undecided myself. A hi-jacking at the time seem to be my initial thinking but that just wouldn't add up either....

    As you said he could've done the above! Is their air marshals on every flight nowadays?

    I think the pilot committing suicide is the most likely theory now but why did he change course completely? If he followed the nominal flight path and crashed into the South China Sea the end result would still be the same thing...

    That's what I can't understand.

    Amazing how Inmarsat figured it out. Using the Doppler Effect to isolate it.

    Why havent we heard anything about this ????

    We have heard the MSM jump on every other theory.

    An actual eyewitness sighting was reported the morning of the crash, but was more or less ignored by all governments and mainstream media outlets.http://www.haveeru.com.mv/news/54062 local news previously confirmed that, “Residents of the remote Maldives island of Kuda Huvadhoo in Dhaal Atoll have reported seeing a “low flying jumbo jet” on the morning of the disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.” That report continues:

    Diego Garcia US/UK base.

    “Eyewitnesses from the Kuda Huvadhoo concurred that the aeroplane was travelling North to South-East, towards the Southern tip of the Maldives – Addu. They also noted the incredibly loud noise that the flight made when it flew over the island.

    “I’ve never seen a jet flying so low over our island before. We’ve seen seaplanes, but I’m sure that this was not one of those. I could even make out the doors on the plane clearly,” said an eyewitness.

    “It’s not just me either, several other residents have reported seeing the exact same thing. Some people got out of their houses to see what was causing the tremendous noise too.”

    Angus, that was in the reports initially. It got ruled out quickly, no idea why though.

    Depends on the islands location to Male. Having flown into the Maldives, you pass numerous islands at low height. Could have been a change in the approach path - but again depends on the location.

    The other thing that was dismissed quickly was the American rig worker who saw a fire in the south china sea the day it went missing.

    They are saying that the plane would have been flying as low as 5000 feet to avoid radar, I wonder if it's a possibility that someone jumped from the plane at that height before it crashed, sounds James Bondish but that might explain the very unusual flight information.

    They are also saying that it flew at 45,000ft for 20min to cause hypoxia rendering the passengers unconscious.

    Too many conflicting reports. They are really pushing the suicide theory now.

    I read those reports too. You would imagine they would of saw it coming and took it out before it became a danger. Depending on what websites you frequent some would have you believe that's what really happened and the disjointed search operation was a smokes screen to get their house in order.

    If they don't find that plane it will be a conspiracy theorist wet dream. *, even if they do find it now enough time has passed for the accusations of cover up to get some credence.

    If they did shoot it down, after the initial shock, I don't think the world would blame them, planes typically aren't allowed to go off course without being challenged.

    We've owned up in similar circumstances in the past.
