Hard to believe someone would go to all the trouble to take over the plane, apparently subdue the passengers and other crew members, cut communications, reverse course and fly maybe thousands more miles, only then to crash a plane into the sea - Suicide? why not do it immedictely; to make a statement? - what statement? - we don't even know what happened, let alone what it means. But a couple of other theories out today might explain the plane going down in the India Ocean by accident;
A pilot on Fox observed the radical changes in altitude recorded as the plane flew, from 35000 to 45000 down to 23000 feet, and said it looked to him as though someone were trying to get control of the plane who had never actually flown it before, such as someone who had learned to fly on a simulator and now was really flying an actual plane for the first time - such a person might eventually lose control and dump it unintentionally into the ocean.
Greg Gutfeld thought that the plane could have gone down after some of the passengers attempted to take control back from a hijacker, a la the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania on 911.
I'm still betting it's parked in the jungle off some half-abandoned landing strip somewhere while the hijackers lay low for a few weeks and repurpose it for something bigger.....

Absolutely, positively true. In all, every scenario presented regarding the fate of the Malaysian Airliner. suicide seems the unlikeliest of realities.

I agree, a suicidal pilot doesn’t care where he nosedives the plan into, he could care less, he could have done it easily in the China Sea, why would the Indian Ocean be so significant..if someone wants to off themselves for Allah or whatever I doubt the place that it is done matters
