Crew meal service is the main weakness in cockpit security. There are protocols that cabin crew can use to pass a message if they are under duress to let the flight crew know of untoward events but if timed right an attacker near the cockpit could get close during crew getting their refreshments passed to them or when flight crew exit the cockpit for comfort stops.

The lack of demands by any terror group would indicate hijacking to be less likely though it can't be ruled out yet.

More pointless speculation.

Alas it is all we can do, but I think we're pretty much drained the well dry until something, anything physical is found from or of the aircraft.

Interpol says less chance of terrorism but CIA not so sure.

My money would be on the report from military radar stating she turned west and could well be somewhere in the Malacca Strait.

More speculation to what is already posted I suppose.

The Malacca Strait is only 120' deep. The tail on the 777 is 60' 9" so there must be something to see.........................Somewhere............. .

Not if she disintegrated mid-air.

So my theory of the plane being stolen somehow might not be that far from the truth after all. Something must have happened to the pilots and the people aboard the plane. I've also read that apparently some of the passengers cell phones are still ringing. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/w...hones/6285325/ That's the link for that story

The phones aren't ringing. It's a false tone injected by the carrier to keep you on the line while they try to locate the phone you're trying to contact.

The missing wreckage has already been explained. They're not looking in the right place.

One thing is for certain. The missing wreckage will be in the last place they look.

And if it could be connected to the allegations (which the airline acknowledged it's aware of and is shocked by), let's not forget this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot_Flight_593
