People are going to write books and make documentaries about this incident in years to come. In fact, there will probably even be a few fictional novels written using the story of MH371 as a plot. Some of those authors of novels will most likely sell film rights. haven't you got your t shirt yet..

The picture here is all starting to become clear now. The latest (and seemingly likely) theory is the captain went off his rocker and hijacked his own plane as a protest or reaction to the jailing of Malaysia's opposition leader Anwar Ibraham that same day as the flight. The pilot had been a staunch supporter of Ibraham and had attended the trial that day when the sentencing was handed down, just before he got on the plane. Witnesses say he was very angry at the court ruling.

BTW, I think the reason there are two red arcs in the map with rings from the satellite (rather than one continuous arc) is that if it was in the 'missing' middle section, then it would have been detected by the satellite over the Pacific. See map at /photo/1

I still maintain it was ALIENS!! That was my vote at work last week. A slightly cynical comment may have been made about probing and 6 smiling Aussies but that is sort of off topic... This must be hell for the families... we are all feeling for them. Pete

I think a press release has it - Australian Maritime Safety Agency's? Is in other reports.

There must be a heck of a lot of diplomacy going on between all the nations to try to get them to reveal how far and how low/high their top secret military radar systems are looking. I can see why there's a big delay in some cases, you would not want all your neighbours knowing how far you are spying on them.

Geez Baz, don't let a simple explanation get in the way of a thrilling story!
