I think the evidence points to a clearly intentional crash. They could profile the captain and co pilot and get closer to locations which held symbolism for one or the other in my opinion.

really?

what if... they just ran to high altitude (checked out) and let'r go till it ran out of fuel? Maybe intentional, maybe not...

I will have to see the evidence (which will not be in a wing fragment, or luggage).

One of the pilots had practiced making the 777 "invisible." No way it was unintentional given the mysterious disappearance.

This might be the source.

In Shah's house a flight simulator has been set up and is understood to have interested police following up one line of investigation - that he had used the equipment to practice making his real-life Boeing 777 ‘invisible’ by turning off all communications.

Missing Malaysia Airlines plane WAS hijacked, says official | Daily Mail Online

I believe this is accurate. Indeed, from what I read, they have found two large objects in the search area and come this spring/summer (November-ish) when the ocean in that area calms down a little, they are preparing a project to launch a small "sub" type device to further investigate.

Could be a big break; or it could be a couple of shipping containers that fell off a ship. Time will tell.

I'm not 100% sure as I don't live in the UK but I think the Daily Mail is kind of like the UK's version of The National Enquirer. There's a legit newspaper and a tabloid newspaper over there that sound so familiar to me and I always confuse which one is which. But, I think it's the Daily Mail that is the tabloid paper.

A pilot had to term off two separate communication systems by hand and turn the plane.

That article is over a year old. That info is not new. I thought that it might be something new.
