Whose knows - Since early 2000, China has been fighting with the East Turkestan Islamic Movement - a Muslim separatist group founded by militant Uighurs (sometimes spelled Uyghurs).

China blamed Uighur "terrorists" for carrying out suicide attacks in Beijing and recently in Kunming for the train attack that killed 27 and injured more than 140 others.

Just something to think about.

Pretty much my thought.

For there to be no mayday a few things would have to happen like radio went out (along with the ability to fly the plane), pilot put it into a nosedive (like that Egyptian Air pilot), complete electrical system malfunction, a bomb or other event that caused an immediate and catastrophic failure, a rapid decompression that knocked everyone out.

There are lots of reasons this could have happened and a few don't involve paranoid Chinese or terrorists.

Sad.

Apparently there are reports that there were lost/stolen passports used on this plane. Not a good sign.

For instance, after the airline released a manifest, Austria denied that one of its citizens was onboard the flight as the list stated. The Austrian citizen was safe and sound, and his passport had been stolen two years ago, Austrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Weiss told CNN.

Similarly, Italy's foreign ministry confirmed that no Italians were onboard MH370, even though an Italian was listed on the manifest. Malaysian officials said they were aware of reports that the Italian's passport was also stolen, but had not confirmed it.

In a weird way you almost hope this can be explained by an act of ill will.

To think that the safest type of airplane in the world, flown by an airline with a very safe flying record, flown by a captain with 3+ decades of experience and assisted by a co-pilot who was just profiled on a CNN International inside the cockpit series THREE DAYS ago can simply drop out of the sky during the safest part of the flight (cruising altitude) in perfect weather conditions is somewhat unnerving.

Honestly I'd bet the answer is going to be really simple, straightforward and something we've seen before.

On 17 January 2008, a British Airways Boeing 777-236ER, operating as flight number BA038 from Beijing to London, crash-landed at Heathrow after both Trent 800 engines lost power during the aircraft's final approach. The subsequent investigation found that the cause was ice released from the fuel system which accumulated on the fuel-oil heat exchanger leading to a restriction of fuel flow to the engines. Rolls-Royce has developed a modification to prevent the problem recurring
I'd easily bet it's the same problem that's been popping up in those engines in recent years(the engines have had a number of similar incidents where the fuel flow got blocked) and they never got around to fixing it.

no way that that is the cause under these circumstances.

The provocative question is why China issued visas to passengers with stolen passports.

If they knew they were stolen. Not a outfit involved in this that deserves an ounce of trust.
