If the Malaysian military knew it had turned west, why are they concentrating the search in the Gulf of Thailand? They had reported several times in the media that they were also searching in the Adamanan(sp) Sea, but were not clear as to why. How strange this all is. Hijackers usually announce to the world that they’re hijacking. This makes me think in this scenario that it’s thieves making away with a highly sophisticated aircraft.

I’ve been asking that ad nauseum since I read the Malaysian military tracked the plane in the west an hour after it stopped transponding.
Could be someone just wanted to steal the plane, or someone wanted whatever those tech people had(maybe just their expertise).
But I can’t see a reason for the first, and it seems to me there would be easier ways to attain whatever would be gained from the second.
I can’t help but think there may be a second act to this story, IF the plane hasn’t crashed.
Hiding a 777 from overhead surveillance in a place like Somalia or on a small island in the Indian Ocean would be very difficult.
