Apparently you are not a geography teacher! Have you been following this story or is your theory that wacky?
Last I heard it was flying AWAY from the Pacific toward the Indian Ocean.
Aircraft can fly with what amounts to a cell tower on board. They pick up pings from cell phones. They are used in the US to locate missing persons.
IF the cell phones are not under the INDIAN OCEAN, which is my theory, they can be located.
In other words, I believe the passengers are still alive.
“Iran “
If that was the case, why even bother hijacking one? Just take one out of inventory and fly it to Syria as a normal flight then when you get into a landing pattern, stay low across Syria into Israel.
Guano.
How are you going to hide the fact that you are flying a hot 777? You need to file flight plans and take off and land from major airports. And your plane needs regular maintenance and parts from specialized sources. You would need to be a country, and a fairly large one at that.
The only scenarios that make sense are:
“Getting turned around doesn’t account for the course set between those waypoints in the west side of Malaysia.... or does it?”
Where was the moon positioned that evening?
Do you really think they could've landed that plane in Iran without Israel or the US knowing about it?
The Lion's Game is a 2000 novel by American author Nelson DeMille
The book opens with Corey, his new FBI boss Kate Mayfield, CIA agent Ted Nash and FBI agent George Foster (both introduced in the previous Corey novel, Plum Island), awaiting the arrival of a defecting Libyan terrorist, Asad Khalil, at John F. Kennedy Airport.
However, even before the Boeing 747 from Paris has landed, it becomes apparent that something is unusual about the flight.[1] It turns out that a terrorist from Libya (his name Asad meaning the lion) poisoned all passengers with a toxic fume and the plane landed on auto-pilot.
In the brouhaha after the landing the terrorist escapes and starts his personal feud in the US.
If it was following standard air routes, besides do they know what happened to the flight?

Not sure of moon location.
Cell phones don't operate over 5,000 feet.
LOL, that one always gets me... Someone sells an heirloom that's been in the family for 300 years, and they use the money to go out dinner and crap it down the toilet later that night.
The aircraft is no longer in the air! That, I think we can all agree on.
You are missing my point.
Aircraft can carry equipment that acts as a cell receiver to collect pings, FROM THE GROUND, of specific phones. They use the device to attempt to locate missing persons.
If the phones are not underwater, they can be found.
Yes. Sorry. I missed your point.
And what would the fight attendants and passengers have done about all this?
That is why I am thinking that this had state sponsorship.
Regardless of what the truth turns out to be, this is an interesting and intriguing situation. Firing up the synapses for a lot of people.
Oh, and see my tag line...
Not true.

Detonating a nuke flown in a 777 would take out “a block or two” with the EMP??? I think you vastly underestimate.
I nuke has to be miles over the area in order have avast impact. A plane flying low with a nuke would be marginally bigger than Conventional bomb.
I believe the 777 operates at a sufficient altitude to do a lot more damage than a “block or two”.
Ok you win.
They will fly this 777 to New York City with a nuke. They will be high enough to take out the whole east coast.
I am going to hide in my cellar now.
