Here's my thoughts, given the little we really know and the amount of time that has passed.

I'm doubting a hijacking or pilot suicide because even though a human could turn off the transponder, I doubt they could disable the telemetry sent by the engines. Both these systems ended transmission at the same time.

I'm beginning to lean toward a westward change in course as indicated by military radar because the primary area has been saturated with search vessels for six days, and the Malaysian military explanations of the radar information seems logical. Still, I would feel better if it could be confirmed the blip was flight 370.

I'm also leaning toward a catastrophe in the cockpit, such as a rapidly spreading electrical fire--something that has happened to a lesser degree on three previous 777 planes. This could account for the loss of transponder voice communications and telemetry. It could allow the pilots to still fly the plane and attempt to return to Kuala Lumpur, making a west/south turn. What happened next, who knows? Set auto pilot due smoke in cockpit and plane flew on until fuel ran out? Tried to land by visuals and over shot Malaysia?

Obviously, another speculation but in spite of little if any brand new information, the slow addition of small factioids has me leaning in a new direction. I think sooner or later, bits of debris will be found--maybe washed up on a coastal beach--west of Malasia, quite possible in the Indian Ocean.
