If there was a fire on the plane, would the sudden increase in altitude be a reason for them trying to put out the fire since there is less oxygen at higher altitudes?
Airline ticket purchases drop 18% since this incident has occurred and the longer it lingers, the more rapid that percentage rate is increasing. The number one reason? Superstitions and supernatural reasoning behind this incident. For the sake of the airline industry as a whole, they best come up with something quick.
Speak for yourself! I need tickets to Japan for this autumn and as far as I'm concerned, prices can keep dropping!
Someone earlier had mentioned Male in the Maldives. I just saw it mentioned on CNN, too - if the plane had been aiming for the big airport near that military base but wasn't able to land, the line would have carried it to Male in the Maldives. People there say they heard a jet flying low around 6:15am in the morning, flying southwest. Could the plane have gotten there and then back to where the arc was with the amount of fuel it had? And with the timing to be at an arc location two hours later? Article about it.

Read the entire thread from Goodfellow, on Google+. Your question is discussed there. The short answer is 'no'.
sorry if this has already been addressed, but I would hope the authorities are aggressively interviewing the pilot's wife to find out why she left him, what his state of mind was at the time, was she afraid of him, did his personality or habits change recently, did she perhaps feel that he might be doing something like this. Nobody knows somebody like their spouse does. Haven't heard anything from her but I hope they are trying to get as much information from her as possible.
I was thinking along another line: if the captain planned this, he could have told his family to move to the second home just to be safe from the rest of the world, media, etc., after the incident takes place.
If there was fire, how could someone have calmly said "Alright, good night"? And no passenger tried to make calls?
The cell phone behavior makes it look like either the passengers were instantly incapacitated/overcome by hijackers or mechanical failure of the plane, or were deceptively reassured that everything was fine and that they were just diverting to somewhere for legitimate reason. (In either case, the small comfort is that the passengers may have suffered little fear before passing out/passing away.)

I hope they drop further and further until the world sits still in place.
