Demands weren't met, plane eventually crashes.
I'm not seeing anything on western outlets about this. While a bit conspiracy theory for me, it does fit much of the data. Not clear if the hijack was the pilot or someone else. Don't know that I'm buying this.
Don't shoot me...I'm just spreading more rumors I hear...

Why would the pilot take a heading into nowhere? Wouldn't he circle over populated areas as to prevent a shootdown - but increase his negotiating strength to turn the plane into a projectile?
