I was thinking along a similar line. If it were true, what could have been the motive? Certainly not to kidnap Philip Wood.
Comeon. This is standard stuff to fake. Nothing interesting. Anyone with a little skill can do it. You got a mess of encoded image with some text tied to it. You edit the text make it when and wherever you want it.
You would need metadata and high confidence meta data to every believe any of this.
Maybe there is a chance that a U.S. Navy sub has located the wreckage. Thus the reason why they are sending the Phoenix device out on an Australian ship.
The Navy never gives the location of it's subs, so they bring in the Pheonix who happens to hear the ping and the wreckage is found.
This is what I currently believe. I don't know anything about the mechanics of planes so I can't explain it either. Just a fire, smoke, pilots not able to function, fumbling to try to save the plane, somehow the navigation system gets messed up so that they're heading south but all are unconscious or dead. The plane flew itself until it ran out of fuel and fell out of the sky.
I don't know if the plane's computers can get viruses but I did hear something about a possibility of being able to program something via a cellphone. That would be a terrorism or hijacking scenario.
From what I was told and also read about from maintenance documentation, much of the aircraft is a closed loop system. Meaning, the only way to import/export data is to be a maintenance worker that has access to the data ports to load anything.
A person aboard an aircraft would not have access. They would have to do it from outside the passenger area (ie, in the belly of the plane). Even the pilots can't import/export anything from the cockpit.

Could happen, right?
And a submarine would locate how? And why would a submarine committed to locating the wreckage location be secret?

They have very sophisticated electronics that are able to hear pingers (and lots of other things) and then geo-locate them... The US does not publicized the location of their subs. In order to reveal where the MH370 wreckage might lie, they would also be revealing the approximate location of the sub. Hence they might well be saying to the Aus Navy, "hey, go look there, you might find something interesting, wink, wink...." It's also possible the sub picked up a pinger's general direction/location and they need the Phoenix to home in on it.
