You put alot of effort into your theory. Me? Am too simple too be imaginative. Just give me facts and then will draw a conclusion

But let me play. So in your theory, whats the purpose or motive? So far it would appear the hijacking has been a failure.

If they land at a secondary airport such as you illustrate, then what? Most likely can not fly it out due to lack of fuel and runway length? Again, what is to be gained?

Third question. You say you have time spent in the Air Force. First, thank you for your sacrifice. Now if the commander came in and said what was said at the presser. Gentlemen, we are looking for a missing aircraft. The suspected routes are . . . And he proceeds to give three diametrically opposite routes.

Am pretty sure, you and all around would look at each other, mumble snafu or fubar, shake your heads and say he does not have a clue, they are just guessing. Tell me i am wrong

You don’t understand radio triangulation.

The Malaysian PM gave two search areas because only one radio (satellite) received the signals from MH370.

With only one receiver, the emitter could be at either of two locations...in opposite directions from each other.

One location is near Kazakhstan. The other possibility is in the South Indian Ocean.

Your post wasn’t directed at me, but I’ll defend mine.

Cocos Island runway is large enough for landing and takeoff, and lies outside of normal transit radar coverage, controlled by a totalitarian, backward country, that isn’t friendly to outsiders.
.
Tiny population of just a few hundred people, remote in the extreme, and no real communication with the outside world, let alone electricity.

Did an inexperienced hijacker/pilot lose control on landing at an airport with no electronic aids?

"So in your theory, whats the purpose or motive?
... If they land at a secondary airport such as you illustrate, then what?"

When dealing with Muslims, assume the worst. To motive to terrorist is to cripple "and/or" destroy the United States first and Israel second.

HOW?
Have you ever heard of an Electro Magnetic Pulse attack?
A stolen Boeing 777 is large enough to deliver even a crude nuclear weapon.
Do you think that IF they went through this much pre-planning, that they would NOT ALREADY have enough fuel waiting for them at the designated bare field to refuel the aircraft?

But most people cannot allow their minds to even conceive such EVIL.
But Muslim Extremists can.

This was a well planned terrorist operation,

and IF the mechanics were in on it and the ELT's were removed before the flight was boarded, at the first takeoff point,
THEN a crash/ditching is possible, as well as a shoot-down.

But with as much as we already know, this much planning does NOT go into the destruction of that aircraft.
They had other planned uses for this much preplanning,
and a repainting of that aircraft to appear like a different airline, to allow them entry into another country, under "false emergency conditions" to deliver some other type of "attack" is highly possible.

Now it's also possible that during their "STEALING OF" Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, they had a real emergency and a real accident,
and that would lead to another long set of responses.

"Now if the commander came in and said what was said at the presser.

You ARE wrong.
That's a normal military diversion tactic, meant to throw your enemy off target, and make yourself less predictable.

In a military situation,

you always put your mindset into the enemy's position, so as
to do the worst possible damage ... at the worst possible time,
... and at the worst possible location,
... in order "TO WIN" .

To solve this mystery we need to focus more on the pilot and copilot.

I would want to know more about the computer history of the personal 777 flight simulator that Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah self-built.

What was the most practiced route he flew with his simulator?

What was his most common practiced landing destination?

Does the government have that simulator to gleam all the history it can off of it ?
