Better theory is that somebody wants those 20 Malaysian computer experts who were on that plane or wants whatever info he can torture out of them.

At what were they expert?

In this day and age, there are thousands of computer experts, only a few of which know anything worth this activity.

And how many of those are Malaysians?

Since NO ONE is talking about the “loss” of 20 programmers with expertise on embedded system controls including many of the languages used by powerplants, etc., it’s a bigger issue than what they’re letting on.

I heard from a pilot today that the plane went to 45,000 feet. Now why would you suppose they went that high? To kill off the passengers. The cockpit has control of the oxygen and the passengers were denied that oxygen and died in about 25 seconds.
They did not want the passengers to panic and the theory goes that if all of those passengers ran to the back of the plane, it would be tail heavy and bring the plane down. This is what happened in 2001 in Pennsylvania. The passengers knew they were dead anyway so they brought the plane down by crowding in the back.
Or the plane was landed in the ocean without damage and slowly sank leaving no wreckage. I go for the landing somewhere in China.
