Here’s my conspiracy theory - pilot takes a break, and co-pilot dumps the fuel...causing the fuel slicks that have been found. The deed is done, and nobody can wrestle the controls from him to save the plane. And they just fall out of the sky...but a little north of the fuel slicks.

LOL. Hey its as good as all the others

Not too likely, considering that Malaysia is the most diverse country here in southeast asia. Muslims make up only 60 percent of the population. Except for the northern section, they are not known to be radicals.

Far too early and zero known data to be speculating. But i guess it makes it fun for some. And many have to put order in their brain to make sense of the world. Even if the facts are they are speculating on are wrong.

If they jettison from 35,000 ft the fuel would have been spread out over a larger area.

Most modern airliners do not have fuel dumping abilities. These days we land over weight if needed.

Most newer aircraft do not have the ability to dump fuel.
