There is no way the plane was "hacked". It is not made to be flown remotely. So that makes a huge list of obstacles to overcome, just from the start. Also, there are redundant overrides to disconnect an autopilot, should it malfunction. In addition to all that, they are intentionally made weak enough that a normal person can physically overpower the autopilot, should the need arise.

It is surprising that the craft has not been found. But there are very few facts to support a good search. The search area is anywhere from the size of Texas to the size of the US, depending on what you want to base it on.

It never fails to amaze me how people will so quickly believe some elaborate conspiracy, but find it impossible to believe that it simply crashed from mechanical failure, human intervention or human error. And that maybe, just maybe, there are places on this world that are not always on radar or connected by cell tower, or internet. As for satellite coverage, why in the world would any government give a rip to put valuable satellite assets on that part of the worlds ocean (before all this happened).

Sometimes you just got to say "s**t happens" and move on.
