Nice overview.
Something is definitely up with this. I hope the black boxes give the answers. Several pilots were making comments that this seems suspicious.
I wonder if the flight can be ‘hacked’ by a passenger, through the entertainment console? I’m aware that flight MH-370 was NOT an Airbus, so it could just be ‘sudden Jihadi syndrome’ by Muzzie pilots, or cockpit intrusion by a passenger or more likely a crew member.
I would never fly an Airbus.
The again if I fly I’d rather be in a small plane with me as pilot.
I think someone penetrated the cockpit. Hope we find out soon.
MH370 was an Airbus.
A computer malfunction would not make radio contact impossible.
Some pictures from skynews.
A video.

This is so easy. Put a button on the pilot side of the cockpit. Put another on the co-pilot side. When the two buttons are pushed simultaneously, a panel opens, allowing access to two loaded .45's.
Wait a minute...that might offend some liberal. Never mind.
Correct, I was thinking of Air Asia A320.
Malaysia flight MH-370 was a Boeing 777.
“I wonder if the flight can be hacked by a passenger, through the entertainment console?”
According to a cyber security expert interviewed on Fox the other day, expert hackers would be able to interface with the comsat and avionics systems if they had the right equipment. Hackers could even place a remotely operated device aboard a flight and control it from the ground.
He said this would require extremely advanced computer skills, but that it could be done.
The whole crew should be armed to the teeth.
The video link illustrates a widely scattered pattern of shattered debris with no clear visible point of impact.
A transmitter that jams the controls, that looks like a laptop...probably not to hard to come up with and impossible to detect.
Be prepared for going back to the days of no electronics in the cabin.
