One thing it did is take the media's focus off Russia and Ukraine.

Yeah you're probably right. The message itself doesn't mean anything, although the fact that the message was delivered after the re-routing is obviously quite telling.

Seems they are just chomping at the bits to end this mystery. I'd want them to at least find a piece of the plane first before just throwing in the towel like that.

^ have to agree and the Malaysian government declared everyone is dead as well. Not sure why they were so quick to say that now. I wonder if the told the family their could have been any other outcome since the family are now really upset... I would have been upset the entire time.

Inmarsat, a British company using a new satellite technology helped to come to the conclusion that the plane crashed in the South Indian ocean. They have a Western source saying it, so it's not like it is the Malaysian gov't is just trying to sweep it under the rug.

^Given the lack of terrorist connections, the pilot's relative high status in his society and his participation in local politics, I would say he was unhinged and planned this - the fact that it ended up nowhere in the middle of the ocean shows he had no sane objective.
He was able to carry this out without anyone finding out or stopping him, is due to his experience and seniority, and his mental illness was taboo so it just did not register with those around him who would have picked up on it.

I just wonder how he incapacitated the co pilot..

I been saying this all along and I do not believe we will know the real truth either because they can not find the plane, or they purposely hold back the truth for the reason and I will not take credit for this person words since they said it better than me

Quote:
The worst type of terrorism would be to make an aeroplane vanish, then do it again.

Pilot suicide is an easy way out for the Authorities.

Slow decompression ala Helios has to be a strong possibility perhaps with one last confused pilot input or passenger input befiore she went down. Smouldering fire may have the same effect and take out systems also.

The turning off of systems has not been adequately explained, black box may do so.
But the authorities have switch back to the pilots trying to save the plane thus all the weird things the plane did, since if it was about suicide the pilot would have done different things. The authorities do not want us thinking it was terrorism or suicide those outcome will be bad for air travel.
