Well, this is admittedly a bizarre and far fetched idea, but what if it didn't crash? What if its been hijacked, and taken to a remote location as part of some sort of ransom plot or to be used as a political bargaining tool?



Complete hogwash, I know, but the lack of answers makes the mind wander.....
The longer this goes on, the less crazy this sounds.

I think I read this week that the pilots can turn off the transponder, is that accurate? Could hijackers force them to turn it off, then fly somewhere else with nobody knowing where they are? I don't see how a plane can crash in the ocean and not leave a huge amount of debris behind.

And in the end, none of this really matters. The families are going through hell right now and the uncertainty must be making it even worse. I mean, what if they NEVER learn more than what they know today? Hard to get closure.
