My theory of the disappearance of #MH370: As more evidence is revealed to the public about the flight, we are able to draw several conclusions and paste together a plausible scenario. 1) The flight was most probably taken over by hijackers. A pilot/suicide theory doesnt jive with the pilots reaching cruising altitude, then suddenly changing direction and turning off transponders. A suicidal pilot most likely would have crashed the plane into the ocean. He would not have tried to mask his location. 2) The details of the takeover are consistent with the 9/11 hijackings, and the hijackers may very well have had a similar goal in mind. The plane was taken over almost immediately once it had reached cruising altitude. Turning off the transponders is consistent with a 9-11 hijacking. Then the plane changed course and headed back towards the Malay Peninsula where it could have crashed into the worlds second tallest building, the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur -- a symbol of westernism in the heart of a Muslim country. 3) The hijackers probably needed to use explosives to gain access to the cockpit, as cockpit security, especially during takeoff and landing, has become quite rigorous in this post 9-11 world. At least one British terrorist has supposedly said that he provided Malaysian terrorists with shoe explosives for use in a hijacking. 4) Such an explosion would have had to been measured -- enough to blow the cockpit door without blowing up the plane. If the plane had blown up at this point, a diffuse trail of debris would have been visible and plane wreckage would have been found fairly quickly. In any case, we know that the planes radar continued to ping for at least 5 more hours after the takeover/turnaround. It did not blow up over the South China Sea, but flew west for at least 5 more hours. However, a measured explosion likely could have caused minor damage to the plane fuselage leading to rapid decompression of the airplane. This could have caused both the hijackers and the passengers to lose consciousness. 5) The rest of the flight history is consistent with a loss of consciousness scenario. Presumably some of the passengers, if conscious, would have tried to relay messages to the outside world of the hijacking. The hijackers, too, if they had demands, would have made them known. More likely, the terrorists intended to crash the plane into this other set of Twin Towers, but lost consciousness before they could carry out their goal. This loss-of-consciousness scenario has happened before and was the cause of the Helios 522 crash in 2004 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helios_Airways_Flight_522
