Is there a possibility of the plane nose diving into the sea and nothing becoming detached? Would depend on the angle of attack but the plane would have to get to a deep enough depth that the pressure caused a fuselage failure releasing all of the air inside but not effectively breaking up much so that there was little, if any debris. *thinking outloud

Now they are saying that the it could have tuned and still beein in flight for upto 5 hours after it was lost from radar but on that note if the plane turned round and stayed in the air for upto another 5 hours then why did it not go back to the airport it had took off from bearing in mind it was only around 1 hour into its flight

I have also thought about it possibly being landed on a private air field etc. Which would suggest it was a well thought out plan.

That's assuming there's phone signal 85 miles offshore.
How do you know they are offshore?
I still think its parked up in some hangar at a private airfield.
Ground radar would have tracked it if it was elsewhere other than where it dissapeared.

from what is being said if there is a possibility the plain has stayed in flight for a possible 5 hours from when it was last seen on radar it could be anywhere

I dont understand how this plane didnt turn up on any military or commercial ground radar if it's not where it dissapeared. Its just not possible in this day and age to dodge radar is it?

The 'rings' you hear doesn't necessarily equate to the phone actually ringing, more so on international calls

Balling posted something similar, nothing to prove that that actually happened.

New evidence suggests the transmission devices were manually shut down from on board: http://abcnews.go.com/m/story?id=22894802&sid=76&ts=true
Could point towards terrorist activity perhaps.

I think it's on a conveyor belt somewhere, trying to take off.

It will probably land back home in a few days with 239 holiday makers oblivious to what's happened. I genuinely do not know how a jumbo jet can be lost ? Surely someone is in charge or monitoring planes ? You would think if it went off radar it would set off alarm bells and contact would be made or send army to check . As it stands it looks like the airline and people who are in charge are a set of bell ends . They let two people with stolen passports on board then the whole plane and 239 people go "missing" . Or it's all made up for some crazy reason

That or there were systems' failures and everyone suffocated.

Turned back to where though? It took off from Kuala Lumpur and from the reports so far, didn't look like it was heading back there?

It's a pretty unusual and dramatic change of course.

By the looks of it, could have turned absolutely anywhere. It's quite alarming really.

Had it been over land, could have been another potential Lockerbie or worse if it had come down in a city.
