There are a dozen or so airfields on Indian Ocean islands that are predominantly Muslim. However I can’t really see a secret like a 777 being kept successfully.

Which of these fields have hangars big enough to hide a 777?

Diego Garcia? The same place we were launching B-52’s from during the Iraq wars?

There was someone, or something, of extremely high value on that plane. Maybe Chinese gold. Maybe another Ed Snowden. Maybe someone with inside knowledge of Iran’s nuclear program. Or maybe a enhanced CIA rendering operation.

Doesn’t seem like terrorism. What would Muslim extremists want with a 777? There are like what, 20 countries looking for it? If I was a bad guy I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near that plane if it’s still in 1 piece!! That plane is nothing but trouble, and whatever happened to the passengers makes it even worse.

Also, it had to be an inside job, the pilots were probably part of the scheme.

I don’t know about hangers, just the length of the runway so it does accommodate similar size aircraft.
