Where did the plane go?

[SkylarHunter]

I can't wrap my head around a huge jetliner simply vanishing into thin air. Flight MH730 disappeared one week ago and so far not a sign of what happened.
I have a suspicion that someone somewhere pushed a button and blew it but who am I to tell?
What do you guys thing happened?

Very good question.

The latest data suggest that after the plane disappeared from contact, it went west. Exactly where, who knows. I think it crashed out at sea and not on land, otherwise they would have found it by now. And if it's resting at the bottom of the Indian Ocean, it literally may be years before they find it.

A week is not too long a time before some remains of a plane that in all likelihood feel on the ocean are found.

Although I really have my doubts the plane actually "vanished" it wouldn't surprise me if they found out what happened to Amelia Earhart. It's very likely that both flights met a watery grave.

In this day and age of GPS, smartphones, and instant connectivity, it probably amazes some people--particularly us younger people--that there are still large swaths of the Earth with little to no real-time coverage. An object as large as a Boeing 777 can easily disappear into such an area, given the chance.

I tell you, conspiracy theories are gonna persist like there is no tomorrow until they find Flight 370. Just like they still do with Earhart. Personally I think she just crashed at sea and was never found.

Oh and BTW, now they're suspecting it was a possible suicide mission. Personally I think that is very much a plausible explanation.

EDIT: Here is a curious new development. Note that they are still considering the arc from the satellite that apparently received a signal from a plane up to an hour before it went down.

I'm sure by now aliens with Elvis took it. Or the government made it vanish into an alternate universe. And I'm sure someone somewhere is working on a mathematical formula to prove a tear in space/time ate it. And of course terrorists shot it down. You can't forget the terrorists.

If it crashed why was it off course? By so much? for so long?

I vote for all of the above.

Residents of the Maldives may have seen the plane less than 3 hours before it went down. This would coincide with the westward trajectory the plane was on when it lost radar contact. But I can't figure out how to reconcile this with the satellite data. Maybe it turned again after crossing the Maldives? If so, how and why?

Do you think there is any chance at all that the airplane is sunk into a deep part of the ocean or do you think that is too far fetched?

BURRRPPP!!

Sorry metal gives me indigestion.

I'm not sure how deep that ocean is, but it sure sounds more likely than most other proposed explanations.

This makes some sense ...

The most plausible explanation for me, at least, is that it went down into the ocean after an electrical fire, which is a likely cause of the transponder turning off.

Ocean very big. Plane very small. People confuse technology with magic.

I find it hard to believe that with All those people on board - No one sent a message home -- unless they were all incapacitated in some way. Too much non-information being made unavailable. Something is a 'bit bizarre'.

Very few cel phone towers in the ocean...no service.

Mass panic and hysteria (assuming the electrical fire hypothesis is true), people screaming and shouting would have made it difficult, and to top it off there are no cell-phone towers covering the middle of the ocean. I can assure you the only reason it seems information is being made unavailable is because it is. Even the smaller oceans are massive and will swallow even a Boeing 777 with no around on the horizon to see it, hear it, or even notice ripples from it crashing into the ocean.

Well, they found 'something' 2,000 kms of the coast of Perth in Australia and they think it may be the plane, but I am totally laughing at them all!

1. It was way out of the plane's flight plan and couldn't have made it all that far anyway.

2. The object under water is only 24 meters long and no part of the plane could break off into a chunk that size.

3. The object is floating and metal sinks.

4. There are other smaller objects around the same place that don't appear to have anything to do with the larger one.

I agree with all the experts they have brought in, saying it's probably just a shipping container that fell overboard, or the wreckage of a small boat or something.

It will be interesting to see what they find - but plane? I doubt it. I'll eat my hat if I am wrong though.
