Seeing a number of the absurd around here
The ton-o-gold in cargo theory floating around actually makes the most sense, if it were gold China bought.
Scuttlebutt from European news sources is that the plane was carrying the Ark of the Covenant in the cargo hold.
The plan was to take it to a remote island and the head muzzie terrorist was going to open it up and have a look.
It’s the Langoliers.
Largo is holding it in SPECTRE’s plan to take over the world.
No matter what happens, some FReeper will be able to say “That’s what I said all along!”
Diego Garcia, damn well knows what happened to that plane.
Yeah, in this day and age of advanced technology it’s hard for us to imagine 239 people literally disappearing off the face of the earth it seems without a trace.
I have only seen the absurd.
A meteor strike, and a military takedown.
Get a lot of people to speculate on solving a problem and you'll get "brainstorming". Some ideas are clearly very unlikely, but the act of arguing against them produces other ideas.
To me NW China seems the most plausible. Rebels, suitable airport at Diwopu (ZWWW); would have arrived there in the dark and by now have the A/C hidden away while getting it ready for some nefarious mission. JMHO.
Probably be found in the Gulf of Thailand.
It was aliens....

I’m guessing that there was more than just the pilots and those onboard the plane involved in this heist.
There were people on the ground that would have had a hand in making sure this plane disappeared electronically and kept search efforts concentrated to the east in the Sea of China while the plane was making its getaway in the opposite direction.
I’m guessing that part of the plan was to drop to a low altitude and dump artifacts from the plane that would have been picked up by searchers who would then be still pursuing the theory of a plane crash — but they were unable to pull that one off or just screwed up.
The pilot who stole this plane and murdered all on board wanted one of two things:
1.) Cargo (gold)
2.) The aircraft itself
If it’s the aircraft, it could only be used for terrorism. Packed with explosives and sent off to do its worst.
I hope Israel has its eyes on the Dimona nuclear facility. It is the closest high value western target to where this plane was headed.
The more I think about it, the less likely I find the gold theory. If a pilot stole tons of gold, he would never get to enjoy his riches.
This pilot was a very religious and devout Muslim, so he could have been persuaded to put this jet in the hands of some really bad folks. We will find out soon enough - I hope that the military defense folks are thinking about this scenario.
Whoever did this already stole a 250million dollar aircraft and murdered all of its passengers. That person is an expert pilot and a Muslim. I do not think that this mass murder was the end game as he could have simply plunged into the sea if that was his plan. This aircraft flew somewhere for 7 hours.
pretty sad when UFOs and the Bermuda Triangle are three and four on the most plausible list
The other day I saw a list of crew and passengers by nationality. Have the investigators identified the alleged nationalities of the two passengers with the fake passports? I noticed there were two Iranians on board, and the plane was headed West. Perhaps this is part of some Iranian plot against Israel, Iraq, or Europe.
“I’m sure” and “I am certain” are two phrases repeated throughout these threads filled with absurd, laughable theories all based on solid... speculation. I’ve been saying that these fantasies must come from the minds that have been filled by scenarios from cheap thrillers and science-fiction novels (Danielle Steel, L. Ron Hubbard?), and just a few minutes ago, on another thread, someone remarked that this drama sounds like it came from a Clive Cussler mystery, whoever this Clive person is (a penny dreadful hack?) And at least, I rest assured that I am the only one here whose theory has George Soros and the Ukrainian Nazis as the culprits.
A group of terrorist are attempting to improvise a bunker buster and are planning to fly the missing aircraft into Yellowstone caldera at 525 mph with a nuclear weapon on board.
