Probably landed in the Maldive's at Male Island (10,000ft runway)refueled and on to Iran. Did the copilot wait for the captain to leave the cockpit and let his Iranian buddies in, lock the door and put on oxygen, depressurize the cabin to kill the passengers and crew at altitude? Boeing 777 converted to a nuclear bomber soon on its way to Tel Aviv or New York.

"Boeing 777 converted to a nuclear bomber soon on its way to Tel Aviv or New York."

Certainly the most logical conclusion at this point.

Iran is a sovereign nation with no problems accessing commercial jet aircraft. If they want to weaponize one, why would they bother with all the cloak-and-dagger (and get China all POed besides)? Makes no sense. No, I don’t have a better theory. North Korea is squirrelly enough for anything, but the data don’t point that way. Somalia/Yemen is my best guess, but if so, why have there been no ransom demands? I’m stumped.

why would Iran need to steal a 777? they have their own airline and a whole fleet of jets?
