Many of "the guys in the business" are also not strangers to out and out speculation!

In fairness, there's no much else they can do. Oh they could just wait and see but that's unlikely human nature being what it is.

Aliens, black holes, time warps have been mentioned somewhere along the line.

I used to work for an aviation mag so as soon as something happened the phones would be ringing from the rest of the press for some idea of what might of happened. However, in most cases there has been a fuselage or more info to go on. It is interesting being there when a story unfolds and it starts to piece together.

Problem is everyone is information hungry but there isn't much to eat.

To some extent that is the benefit of these online forums. Something like a virtual newsroom for those that have a fascination with a story.

Would it be tacky for a rerun of LOST?

Yes because it was rubbish.

What really gets me is that with all these theories (however weird), if it was a terrorist attack, WHY has no group, organisation or whatever, claimed responsibility?

In the past, if there was a terrorist attack on an aircraft, (or anything for that matter), there has almost immediately be a claim of responsibility (whether legitimate or not)!

Also I have just been watching ACA, and this young woman had photos taken of her and a friend in the cockpit (in flight) with the 1st Officer (who apparently was also 1st Officer on MH350).

Okay. I hadn't heard anything about this in the mainstream media, though if this is legitimate, one would think they would target China Airlines (or another Chinese carrier) rather than that of another country, as it is based on an internal issue.

chris955

I very much doubt it is legit, just some scumbag terrorists trying to claim a horrific event as their own.

Shard

Probably so.

Of all the speculations touted in the media, this one caught my eye and it sounds entirely plausible. Probably explains why some relatives could hear the mobiles ringing when they called, hours after the plane was reported missing.

Tragic

Apart from the fact that if it wasn't reporting at all, but was still flying its route, then it would have lit up the board as it travelled up Vietnam and into China.

They 'hand over', they talk to air traffic control, and the loss of ADS-B would have got them a query at minimum.

Implausible.

The Bloke

Yes plausible, but if it was slow decompression, why did the radar tracking lose the plane in the general search area? if it flew on, it would be tracked and the point where it started to lose altitude would still show on radar.
One can only speculate.
Surely with search aircraft and ships coming from all points of the compass, debris of some description would have been found somewhere by now.
