So here is a what if scenario question.
If you wanted to bring down the entire airline industry and terrorize the global flying population for islamic terrorist purposes, why not hijack a redeye airliner, fly it westward under the cover of darkness, land it somewhere in an islamic country, and start beheading the passengers, one by one after several days? And start posting the videos on Youtube?
I know it sounds crazy but i just went through nineteen threads on the airliners.net forum and the fact that this was a redeye does not seem to get a lot of attention. The passengers would never know they were over a huge body of water of water in the dead of night. During the day people would start asking questions and raise hell.
The whole scenario of the 777 crashing somewhere does not jive with the transponder being turned off. I can’t help but think that we have an entire new terror scenario here.

What country?
This plane had the whole night to do weird stuff without notice. Sad to say, but I hope it’s “only” an unintended crash, or even “only” a purposeful crash ala Flight 93, or even “only” a crash ala (allah) Egypt Air, because any other disappearance suggests that this plane will reincarnate... as an angel of death.
