Yet no one seems to be able to explain this plane just magically vanished off radar systems travelling to Beijing, transponders seeming turned off and yet was still able to fly for many hours until it crashed in the south indian ocean in the opposite direction without anyone picking it up. Good luck explaining that.

Can you show me the radar stations that would pick it up in the South Indian ocean?

Not too many radar sets in the Indian Ocean. It’s just about the perfect place to lose yourself if you had to pick one. As another poster mentioned, satellites had to be repositioned to conduct this search as this is not regular territory for them to be paying too much attention to.

If the plane is in the water SW of Perth, then it must have flown on autopilot, with both pilots dead or disabled and the cockpit locked, until it ran out of fuel.

How they got dead without the aircraft being destroyed is difficult to imagine, but an electrical fire that disabled ACARS and the transponder, and generated CO or some other toxic substance before burning out could do it.

Notice I did say, “IF the plane is in the water”. We should know that soon.
