Langoliers... makes as much sense and most of the other theories.

Is the missing 777 jet is equipped with phones? I’d bet it is. I’d assume cellular via satellite.
With hundreds of persons onboard, why didn’t one person make a phone call? The plane did. It “pinged” at least one satellite for hours after other systems went dark. It appears to me someone forgot to shut that one system down or it was in a location it couldn’t be immediately accessed. and turned off.
For Christ’s sake, as the World Trade Center towers were about to fall, people were calling out and sending video clips and photos via cell phone. When planes were hijacked on 9/11/2001, the people in them were calling out to family with cell phones or using the phones on the plane that went through satellites.
IF the plane went down, why no debris alone it’s scheduled flight path?
IF the plane was hijacked, by pirates why no ransom demand?
WHY would anyone steal the plane? Every part in it could be purchased and duplicated by North Korea, China, Russia, or any oil rich nation. Face it, it’s not a Skunk Works U2 spy plane… or was it? It’s been done before and the planes were shot down “straying” over things not intended to be seen.
WHY would anyone want anything that eats fuel like a 777 that can’t land at any airport in the world?
WHAT would any hijacker do with hundreds of people? Toss them out of the plane? Doubtful.
Ask yourself this. If this is as confusing as it is, what authority has the power to keep it from us?

First of all it was a redeye flight so most passengers were asleep. It might be possible that the airplane was slowly decompressed in which case any others awake would have gone to sleep, too. Everyone would have suffocated in their sleep and died a peaceful death.
Another question: who is directing our attention there. What are we missing elsewhere?
You know the sheeple like a good missing persons case. For example, Natalie Hallowell.
This doesn’t not seem as much terrorism as it does deception and distraction.
There might have been, but we peasants haven't been told, as in "Thunderball."
WHY would anyone steal the plane?
Might've had some valuable cargo.
It's baffling in so many ways. Hard to believe that the gov'ts involved know so little this late into the disappearaance.
and... with the low cabin pressure... every O2 mask failed to drop?
They might have deployed and anyone still awake was taken out immediately by the Iranians.
Keep in mind that the pilots set the air pressure inside the aircraft to be equivalent to about 6,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level.
I’d buy that but... how many shooters with submachineguns would have to get onboard to kill hundreds of people before a single phone callwas made?
Because they were at 35000 MSL, over the ocean.
A Piper cub flies higher than that. The air gets cold and thin over 12K ft. but still you could surive at that height.
It was a redeye flight. Do you know what a redeye flight is? They fly at night into the early morning. Most people are asleep on those flights. The pilots could slowly decompress the aircraft with most still asleep and put some others to sleep. Those few that are still awake that see the masks drop were taken out by the Iranians.
Cell phones do not communicate with satellites.
Langoliers... makes as much sense and most of the other theories.
But change the air pressure in the aircraft slowly to 14,000 and you’ll see people fall asleep that weren’t already asleep on that redeye flight. Anyone left awake that see the masks drop...lights out for them from the Iranians!
Cargo... now that’s an idea, but why no passenger communication if it were hijacked and where are the people now?
I’ve been in a lot of newer planes without phones in them. Too expensive for the airline to maintain versus the revenue generated by them.
Cell phones don’t work when you are too high, too far from a cell tower. Have you ever tried to use your cell phone while in flight? You have to be pretty low in order to get a cell signal. Additionally, there aren’t any cell towers that I know if in the middle of the Gulf of Thailand.
Did anyone have a satellite phone on board? Could be, but if something like sudden decompression happened, the occupants would have been pulling a Payne Stewart. If the phone wasn’t turned on and in your hand, would you have the time to retrieve it, turn it on, wait for a signal, and make a call? Would that be the first thing you tried to do if all of the oxygen was sucked out of the plane? Would sudden decompression at 35,000 feet even be something that the body could withstand? That’s a pretty big pressure differential all of a sudden.
Right. That’s why there is no internet available on a flight...NOT.
Not a 777 without phone(s) that take a credit card to use.
