What are the odds that the pilot simply got lost? What would need to fail on the plane for that to happen?

What if the pilot lost his ability to navigate and then ran out of fuel while trying to find his way?

It's possible but people are claiming to have seen over Maldives. If true those red lines are suspect. I have heard multiple people say the chances that the data used to create those red lines is high.

That wouldn't mesh with the Inmarsat data.

I think in this scenario a crash on land becomes more likely. Probably could see the lights from the air, pending cloud cover, and he would be searching for an airport to land.

I'm going to believe the satellite over eyewitnesses on a remote island.

Just saw a story that even though we've narrowed down the southern corridor a bit, the search area is still too damned big. If we don't find the plane within the next 3 or 4 weeks, the USA at least is just going to give up on it and pull our resources out.

They'll find it.

Too weird to have 250 people with no cell phone videos

Ok. The U.S. believes it is off the coast of Australia but that is a pretty big area, they may never find it. I agree that the northern corridor seems highly unlikely because those countries have advanced radar that would have picked it up. Then again Thailand didn't let anyone know until today they had been tracking it.

Yeah, so presumably the pilot would depressurize the cabin to fix that. The reason why 45,000 is relevant (people have been saying you could die at lower altitudes than that) is because passenger oxygen masks would still drop if they lost air pressure. However, the cabin oxygen masks apparently do not work at about 40,000 feet, but pilot oxygen is designed to work above 50,000. So, 45k and depressurize is what you'd want to do to kill the cabin.
On the Boeing 777 the oxygen system is a hermetically sealed chemical system. It will produce oxygen in outer space and under water. If the masks drop you get about 3x the amount of oxygen you need at 40,000 feet.

Don't think that there's a lot of good tower reception in the ocean.

I take it you have not traveled to a lot of 2nd or 3rd world countries?

Where is NORAD in this? Don't they monitor every object in the sky? Can they not come forward with their info because all their monitoring is classified?

If those people are underwater or in outer space, we need to reach them fast.
