Long read , but I'll bet its spot on.

Except for not pushing the mic and telling anyone out there listening they were in a mayday event. I can't believe they wouldn't do that before pulling the electrical bus for communications.

This has been debunked, I read. There were other pings later showing the plane having changed course.

If it was a standard hijacking the ransom demands would've arrived by now, if it crashed it would've been found by now... strange indeed but to hell with it, basically feels like a big distraction at this point.

It stinks, the whole world stinks... but didja hear about the Miley Cyrus bus fire?
Well, the bolded part is obviously not true.

Floating debris in the ocean is pretty hard to find, we pretty much knew roughly where the air france flight went down and it still took 5 days to find debris. We haven't really been seriously searching the area west of Australia until recently.

Also, keep in mind the search area, though much smaller today than yesterday, is still the size of freakin' Arizona.

So you didn't read it all?

The problem with that theory is that it is almost impossible for a fire to not bring down a jet for 7 hours.

I read it yesterday. I have a serious problem with one pilot's version that yanking electrical buses without first indicating a problem over the radio takes precedent.

It's happened on other flights. Makes more sense than suicide or terrorism.

If it was mostly smoke and the crew was dead it wouldn't be that hard. Maybe they contained the fire shortly before being overcome by smoke.

I'd say all three are equal at this point.

That's the problem. All of these stories have holes in them.

That only works if the crew didn't put on their oxygen masks. I suppose that's a possibility but I highly doubt it.

Investigators say flight plan after turn suggests it was programed into commuter to be executed Automatically.

Pretty crazy isn't it. Something that big with all that technology just disappears.

From article

Yes, pilots have access to oxygen masks, but this is a no-no with fire. Most have access to a smoke hood with a filter, but this will last only a few minutes depending on the smoke level. (I used to carry one in my flight bag, and I still carry one in my briefcase when I fly.)
