My prediction:
Captain stabbed the co-pilot, went nuts and crashed the plane into the Indian ocean.
Nahhh.. Flight software was probably altered even before aircraft left the ground and at some point, no matter what the pilots did it had no effect. The guy flying the plane was probably sitting in the passenger section via his laptop or perhaps in another country flying the aircraft remotely. Commands by the pilots were probably futile as they were locked-out completely. Part of the evil hack probably included killing their voice communications from the cockpit to ATC after ‘alright, good night’. You buyin?
Mine: Plane was headed for Diego Garcia. It was intercepted and shot down. This happened during several golf games that included some precise mulligans. The specifics are sealed forever. Next EO?
Be nice if people dropped the crash in the ocean bit, it’s very obvious that didn’t happen.
Israel is on high alert, and rightfully so.
This plane is going to be used for something.
But where’s the debris then?
The 239 bodies? The oil slicks?
Something would be floating somewhere and we would have seen SOMETHING.
In this day an age of Google Earth, GPS, etc...
Then why is the US Navy pulling out of the region?
