It’s possible but it would be pure speculation without access to the radar log.

Interesting question!

I keep wondering why a terrorist (if that’s what it was) would choose this route, or city of origin or destination? I thought maybe KL is know for lax security, for instance - but your question raises other possibilities.

Seems possible.Kuala Lumpur has one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world...a pretty juicy target.Not as juicy as New York,London or Tokyo but perhaps an easier one.

Not a bad theory. Some have asked — if it was a terrorist attack then why hasn’t anyone claimed credit? Credit for what? This could have been an attack that failed that they wish to carry out at a later date.

Of course everything is speculation right now.

Why not just make up something with no evidence?

[Gamecock]

No.

The plane took off at 12:21am and flew 2 hours when it disappeared.

If it indeed was headed back it would have arrived at the towers before 5am.

What would be accomplished flying into empty buildings?

Ive been thinking this too..long haul flight that goes dark 30min after takeoff ...very 911...claims of one garble contact and plane may of turned back...we could have a flight 93 event ...fight over control of plane and went straight in to the sea before reaching target...because it does look like terrorism but no ones claiming it..you don't claim a failed mission because you tip your hand... was that day a special day for Islam?

Well, that’s the only speculation so far that has made sense to me. Some brave souls prevented this terrorist act, just like Flight 93.
