Whenever a plane goes down, experienced air craft investigators look at the general circumstances and mentally draw up a list of the most likely causes — not to leap to conclusions, but to prioritize lines of enquiry and organize competing hypotheses.
As information comes in, it should be possible to eliminate those hypotheses one by one until at last a full understanding of the circumstances remains. The goal is to make sure that the problem will never again bring down an airliner.
This philosophy works: Year by year, fewer commercial airliners are lost to accidents.
The downside is that, as likely sources of aircraft accidents are eliminated, what’s left behind are increasingly arcane and bizarre, once-in-a-million combinations of bad luck, incompetence, and malice. And the longer we go without any significant clues regarding Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the more likely that its true cause will fall into that category.
For instance? Some airline pilots have begun to speculate that one of the flight crew might have intentionally caused the plane to disappear and flown off with it to an undisclosed location. This line of speculation, outlandish as it may sound, was only bolstered when it was reported Wednesday that investigators were actively pursuing the possibility that the plane had been diverted "with the intention of using it later for another purpose.”

STEPS TO GO ABOUT DOING IT ( according to the article):
* Kill or incapacitate your fellow pilot ( Don;t forget to dead bolt the cockpit).
* Wait until you’re over a region with poor radar coverage, then turn off your transponder, ADS-B, and ACARS
* Turn and dive for the deck. Radar coverage gets worse the lower you go, so if you want to stay off primary radar, you’ll fly as low as possible.
* Find someplace to land
* Sell it. There’s an active market for used 777s.
So....what’s the next step? Pack it full of explosives and tail a real flight up close and follow it in until the last minute and divert to the target?
And do what with 200+ people?
BTW, the article fails to mention the 239 passengers. What do you do with them?
According to one poster on the site: Depressurize the cabin at altitude after shutting down emergency oxygen supply to the cabin. Dead passengers in 3 minutes.
Problem in article says one person could steal a 777. I would say it would take two. One to fly and one to take away phones.
That is the key to this-the phones and the pings on towers!
Decompress the cabin.
At altitude turning off the heat will freeze them.
So the only question is whether or not to bother looting the bodies after scoring a Boeing.
Hmmm. That could make a tidy sum for SPECTRE.
That would account for the cells phones still being active but not answered. I'm leaning toward a landing in a pre-arranged location. But you would need an experienced pilot, so can't rule out an inside job. It was tracked following established navigation waypoints towards the middle east.

The old ones and the young ones would be first to die as well as anyone with a heart condition or repritory issue, some may survive, albiet pass into unconciousness...
You don’t really need extra O2 at 30,000ft to stay alive but you do need it to stay awake.
However once everyone is either dead ot knocked out by hypoxia, it would be a trivial thing for a hijacker to walk around the cabin and kill anyone left with a heartbeat....
They could get around the cabin by using the portable O2 devices the flight attendents use in case of depressurization...
If anyone did remain concious (say you has someone accustomed to high altitude living) they wouldn’t be able to put up much of a fight at 30k feet as they would get tired really easily even with adrenaline...
Could be another reason why they chose a night flight, most people would already be asleep....
The fire safety hazard presented by pure oxygen?
One to control the plane. Three to control the passengers. The three wear gas masks. Some knock out gas should do it because there’s no way to control them...unless you show them a fake bomb pasted to your chest.
I hear that:
— radar coverage is week in that area of the world
— a prepared hijacker/pilot would know where the gaps were
My hunch is that:
— U.S. defense satellite monitors know where the flight went down or did whatever it did. The president also knows. DoD or national technical means agencies simply aren’t going to give up the fact of our means and methods for something as inconsequential as an airliner gone astray.
— The notion to go look in the Indian Ocean is the result of quiet hinting from U.S. satellite spooks.
My speculation.
Uh... isn't someone going to ask where you got it?
Let me call in a buddy of mine and see how much this thing is worth....
No matter who stole it or why.
Any 777 entering a country’s airspace will receive severe scrutiny for at least the next 6 months or so.
“* Find someplace to land
* Sell it. There’s an active market for used 777s.”
There seems to be a missing step there, where you would have to do something with all the passengers.
Then turn the plane...have pilot announce "grab your masks"....
EVERYONE would obey and inhale themselves to la la land
I think this was sooooo terribly planned out.
