There wouldn't be one in the China Sea vicinity. There could only be one off the Arabian Peninsula or maybe around the northern Indian Ocean, though even that would be a huge stretch. That's nowhere near where any US drone activity would be. There's no reason for a China drone to be off the coast of Vietnam.
Then it's underwater drone. I think this drone will find it..

There was no drone involved for the same reason it wasn't shot down: because it continued to maneuver. If it could maneuver, there should have been enough communications system left to call mayday. Remember all the redundancy in systems.
I think the lawyers at Boeing, Malaysia Air and few Malaysian public officials may be hoping that the remains of the plane are never found.
Boeing would only be held liable for manufacturing or design mistakes. There is no indication that that is the case and I cannot see that changing even if they find the black box.
I agree. Some of these regulations were made when memory wasn't cheap and to store some 15 hour flight would have required banks of computers. A lot of the regulating agencies try not to hamstring carriers too badly because certain regulations would be absolutely cost prohibitive. In this day and age, though, a 32 GB thumb drive could store days worth of CVR information, including video and other data. I completely agree with you though. It is a bit inexcusable.
Agreed. It seems even more inexcusable with the cost of flights and executive bonuses through the roof. Unfortunately, as with 9/11, it takes a huge tragedy before regulations are seriously reviewed and changed.
I hope the families of these passengers are able to get some definitive answers and eventually closure.
I thought I had heard every possible theory out there but this is a new one on me. So you are thinking an errant US drone collided with 370?
The theory is nonsense because drones usually don't fly that high, which then defeats the purposes of a drone....and doesn't explain all the other factors that are assumed (the plane is in the Indian Ocean). So - NO! Nonsense theory #1,055, along with the alien abduction theory.
But surely you realize drones are used for so many varied reasons - and by various government and private organizations and even individuals - surveying crops, powerlines, conservacy for wildlife spotting, maritime survellience. To automatically assume a drone is US military would be foolish.
What is the Malaysian government's evidence that Flight 370 ended in the Indian Ocean and "all lives are lost?"
They have no evidence. They have no bodies. They have no debris, no flight recorders, no sightings and no radar signatures that would put the aircraft in the Indian Ocean.

they compiled all the crack pot theories and what-ifs from across the internet...eliminated all of those, and were left with only one other explanation.
I love how an "aviation expert" on CNN this morning started with, "Well I think we shouldn't be speculating and speculation is bad however here's what I think happened..."
