Update - Flight could have taken 1 of the 2 paths (5 hours of fuel): Finally, a highly classified US analysis shows that the plane could have gone south too - something we already talked about on this forum (towards Diego Garcia area) 140314170945-2-paths-plane-starr-malaysia-story-top.jpg In b/w all that:

A 5.5 magnitude earthquake struck in the sea off India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands on Friday evening, the U.S. Geological Survey said.There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, and no tsunami warning was immediately issued. The quake happened in the south Andaman Sea about 110 kilometers southeast of Mohean on Katchal Island, one of the Nicobar Islands, the USGS said.

Read some interesting theories - Russia “Puzzled” Over Malaysia Airlines “Capture” By US Navy

A new report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces (GRU) states that Aerospace Defence Forces (VKO) experts remain “puzzled” as to why the United States Navy “captured and then diverted” a Malaysia Airlines civilian aircraft from its intended flight-path to their vast and highly-secretive Indian Ocean base located on the Diego Garcia atoll. Interesting to note, this report says, was that Flight 370 was already under GRU “surveillance” after it received a “highly suspicious” cargo load that had been traced to the Indian Ocean nation Republic of Seychelles, and where it had previously been aboard the US-flagged container ship MV Maersk Alabama. Upon GRU “assests” confirming that this “highly suspicious” cargo was aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 on 8 March, this report notes, Moscow notified China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) of their concerns and received “assurances” that “all measures” would be taken as to ascertain what was being kept so hidden when this aircraft entered into their airspace. However, this report says, and as yet for still unknown reasons, the MSS was preparing to divert Flight 370 from its scheduled destination of Beijing to Haikou Meilan International Airport (HAK) located in Hainan Province (aka Hainan Island). Prior to entering the People Liberation Army (PLA) protected zones of the South China Sea known as the Spratly Islands, this report continues, Flight 370 “significantly deviated” from its flight course and was tracked by VKO satellites and radar flying into the Indian Ocean region and completing its nearly 3,447 kilometer (2,142 miles) flight to Diego Garcia. As to how the US Navy was able to divert Flight 370 to its Diego Garcia base, this report says, appears to have been accomplished remotely as this Boeing 777-200ER aircraft is equipped with a fly-by-wire (FBW) system that replaces the conventional manual flight controls of an aircraft with an electronic interface allowing it to be controlled like any drone-type aircraft. However, this report notes, though this aircraft can be controlled remotely, the same cannot be said of its communication systems which can only be shut down manually; and in the case of Flight 370, its data reporting system was shut down at 1:07 a.m., followed by its transponder (which transmits location and altitude) which was shut down at 1:21 a.m. What remains “perplexing” about this incident, GRU analysts in this report say, are why the American mainstream media outlets have yet to demand from the Obama regime the radar plots and satellite images of the Indian Ocean and South China Sea regions as the US military covers this entire area from Diego Garcia like no other seas in the world due to its vital shipping and air lanes.

Well if it was indeed hijacking, it was too meticulously planned and has to be the involvement of big groups. Imagine studying and knowing exactly what altitudes and routes to fly to avoid radar for so long. Particularly since as soon as the flight went missing, efforts were on to track the flight It's one of a kind thing and will lead to more changes in flight security laws

What could be the objective? a) Hijacking is a very high risk business. Earlier you could go to safe heavens but now U.S. is almost everywhere. Many of the safe heavens have falling apart and you need the support of local authorities to survive after a successful hijacking b) Old movie style kidnapping for important people such as scientist. There were some 20 experts on information technology on the plane. The experts could have inside info and also be helpful to hack military satellite c) Suicide mission - more likely, and you don't have to worry about surviving post hijacking d) Other One thing that could help is trying to understand the network of all those on the plane. Try to understand what motivated them, what were their ideologies, friend and business network, etc. That might lead to the mastermind. Assumption is that those responsible for hijacking were carrying out orders .... A team should be working on this in parallel to searching the plane. The mastermind or group responsible for this is still out there among us and these people have the info including where the plane planned to head towards

Have the found where the Hijacked plane is? How can they confirm hijacking without that?
Because flight data suggests the plane changed altitudes multiple times to avoid the radars. It flew up to 45000 feet (not allowed on normal flights) then came down to 23000 and cruised. And then climbed back up. These things are not possible on auto-pilot. BTW, the same report also says that the flight crashed in the Indian ocean

@rett... so Moscow (or just that website) is saying US hijacked that flight to Diego Garcia :-o
It probably is another speculation by the website. And ofc the story raises a lot of questions: a) why the suspicious cargo was allowed to get on the plane in the first place, esp. if China planned to divert the plane (surveillance was going to end anyways by China's action) b) why Russia is waiting to spill the info out. If U.S. really did it, it is a good opportunity to put U.S. in the spot and take the limelight off Crimea Despite the speculation, what is scary is that something like remote hijacking is possible on modern planes - technology a boon or a curse issue

THIS is basically a rehash of many of the things discussed here but the video is nice Another question is who hijacked the plane - the pilots or someone else? Since the plane is likely to have crashed may be those in cockpit were not that experienced (a likely handover to a hijacker when the plane flew up at 45k feet and then settled down) :dontknow:
