Hope it did not fly right across India.

The story Malaysia Airlines flight MH 370 gets more bizarre by the day. At first they said that it disappeared one and a half hours into the flight. Then they said that the flight turned back which was thought to mean that it had engine trouble and was trying to get back to Kuala Lumpur airport. One hour into the flight the transponders were turned off but the Aircraft Communications and Reporting System or ACARS continued to function for hours which would not have been the case if there had been a catastrophe on the plane. It is said to have climbed to 45,000 feet, much higher than its cruising altitude, and then dropped sharply as it disappeared from radar contact. A few days later the Americans reported that the plane was ' pinging ' up to 4 hours after it was thought to have crashed. Where the Americans lead the Brits are sure to follow. So London based Inmarsat piped up that it received pings 5 and a half hours after the plane disappeared which would mean that it could be 1000 miles or 1600 km from Malaysia. So where is the plane? A huge commercial airliner with 239 people on board cannot just disappear. If it had crashed into the sea there would definitely have been lots of debris floating around. There is a huge amount of plastic and thermocol  in planes and items of daily use carried by passengers which would be floating on the sea. The sea lanes in the Gulf of Thailand, the Straits of Malacca and the Indian ocean are very busy with commercial shipping and it is impossible that no one would have sighted any debris at all. The Prime Minister of Malaysia is now convinced that the plane was hijacked. By who? And for what? In the game of guesswork some are suggesting that the plane flew 1000 miles west of Australia and then crashed into the ocean. It is extremely difficult to hijack a plane after 9/11 attacks and anyone going through the arduous planning and huge expense would definitely have a reason. He would definitely want the whole world to know what he has accomplished. And why are the Chinese so angry? The Chinese government beat up parents of children who questioned why schools collapsed while party offices survived after the earthquake of 2011. Did the cockroach-eaters shoot the plane down? The most plausible explanation is that the plane was forced down in Aceh, Indonesia and taxied for hours to a hideout. We will know eventually.
