Military radar evidence suggests the missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner was deliberately flown west toward the Indian Ocean’s Andaman Islands, sources told Reuters on Friday as mounting evidence pointed to a criminal inquiry into Flight MH370.
Two sources told Reuters that an unidentified aircraft – believed by investigators to be the missing Boeing 777 - was following a route between navigational way-points, indicating it was being flown by someone with aviation training when it was last plotted on military radar off the country's northwest coast.

Thanks for ping but haven’t been closely following this....though I’m aware of the latest.
It sure sounds something was up from the get go, but I’m slow with the idea of theories until they have more facts to go by.
What is stunning is they can’t find anything....which is what makes me suspect it’s a cover for something else....as is all the news being put out there for public consumption.
There certainly is a resettable breaker per power consumer, but not necessarily per every little function. The control panel surface is not infinite. If a pilot is not perfectly aware of what system he is messing with, he'd be well advised to not touch that breaker. An airmchair pilot (terrorist) may not know such details. One needs a user's manual on 777 to find out exactly what breaker would control that function, and whether it is also controlling something else that the pilot would rather not disable.
So why is the USA spending probably billions of our taxpayer money on an event that most effects China and Malaysia, and why has it become an American obligation? China should be the deep pockets here, not the USA. If asked we should help, but I don’t see it as CNN is portraying it as our search and rescue.
Does Boeing even make the 777 entirely in the USA, and even if they did I don’t USA taxpayers getting a special dividend.
I don’t disagree, but certainly the trained Malaysian pilots would have known to be able to access the flight manuals and pull any breakers desired, or disabling larger groups of functions. Maybe terrorist-types could negotiate some of those hurdles.
There is new info about apparent phugoid oscillations (in the cookie corner) that suggest either lack of control, or unskilled control. What I’m catching here on a monitor at the Y is wildly entertainment-oriented and less than informative. Hopefully I’ll get a fuller set of details soon.

no offense but i hope out of those two options, it got shot down so it can’t be used as a weapon.
Luckily, you have a fully trained muslim pilot, who also has a 777 simulator in his home. Great place to practice evasive routes, figure fuel burn to alternate locations, and what luck! He would have access to such a manual that you suggest.
I would also like to know if they took on excess fuel before launch. Typically 10% of excess fuel is wasted hauling it's own weight around, so airlines are keen to fuel more accurately for the weight, distance, weather, etc. and IFR reserves for each leg or cycle of a flight, so they don't waste the cost of excess fuel load. A bunch of excess fuel over what was needed for the particular mission would certainly implicate the pilot in whatever plot.
That is a key piece of info I've not seen anywhere.
I've been reading elsewhere theories about the company that had all the employees on board, fast-something or other. They were developing very interesting electronics. Also, four of the five patent holders for some product of this company that held the potential to earn billions... were on board. Leaving ONE patent holder, and a huge incentive to disappear the rest. AND the patent was just approved. One owner stands to suddenly get very rich.
Just saying what John Bolton said, paraphrasing, USA just leads the world in technology in search and rescue. We saw the Chinese put out that satellite photo and it turned out to be nothing. Just Bolton’s talking points. I think most everyone wants to know what happened but you are right, it should not be down to us to foot the bill.
You must not be familiar with our banking system.
I think they hijacked it just so they could how ridiculous the commentary could get in threads like this.
LOL, post of the day.
Amazing all the conspiracies that have come up.
Not saying it’s impossible, but I still hold to my theory it’s a massive accident. It’s happened before. Including the depressurization/fire/lack of oxygen/pass out stuff.
I still say it’s a way of saying... we’re here and we’re coming.
Nah, I don't watch the idiot box m'self, but I understand that there is a locust plague of "experts" there explaining the unexplainable, and I am beginning to suspect that these experts, who up to now must have been unemployed and starving (otherwise, how would fully employed people ever find time to appear on telebision at all hours of day and night?), must have gotten together in a conspiracy to arrange this hijacking in order to find gainful employment.
Why are we, America, involved in this?
Someone on another thread stated that 20 employees of Freescale were on board this flight. Freescale makes electronic defense systems for the US and other nations, perhaps even Israel.
I wonder if those 20 Americans know how to disarm Freescale’s defense systems? Could the 777 be used as a ‘missle’ and carry a nuke into another nation?
I don’t accept the idea this flight crashed into the ocean due to the following: the black boxes would be pinging their assess off and easy to locate. That isn’t happening.
This plane disappeared between 1am - 130am, very early on Saturday morning. It could have taken all Saturday to get to the Maldives Archipelago. Once in the western IO on Saturday night, who would look for it there? Then off to ... where ever.
If so then the black boxes would be pinging madly. They are not.
That would be Freescale. I have been told that they are a big name in car racing. However I believe that they lost their chance in the CPU/MCU market. Perhaps they can make it up somewhere else.
Also, four of the five patent holders for some product of this company that held the potential to earn billions... were on board. Leaving ONE patent holder, and a huge incentive to disappear the rest. AND the patent was just approved. One owner stands to suddenly get very rich.
That "owner" is Freescale itself, a legal entity. Human inventors do not own their inventions that they made while on the clock, and while being paid to invent. All they get is their names on the patent. One could argue that some finer details of the invention may be lost, but it took YEARS to go through the USPTO, and by now that invention is either in products, or won't ever be. Here is one example; look for the "Assignee" field. Businesses are very well aware of the danger of employees quitting, dying, or changing loyalties. So there are measures to counteract that, to the extent that in some companies an individual worker does not mean anything. Foxconn may be the ultimate example of that.
Black boxes can’t be found just so easily anywhere they are. Air France again. Bottom of ocean, not found for years. This may not be as deep, but it could still be deep and buried.
This has been brought up before but let’s not forget that maybe it was something in the cargo hold that they were after. Either to steal it or make sure it was not delivered. I am sure that is being searched out as well.
all very good points, thanks for the response/
