Am I the only one who thinks the plane may be on land, and probably crashed or landed in a hill in China?
There it isn't any indication that it actually crashed, none that it's even in the sea, none that it turned around, there's just nothing. I have to wonder that it's not in water at all and probably continued on course. So it may be on land somewhere along that course in China.
I sure hope it's found and that there are survivors.
This entire disaster, and that's what this is, just reeks of mis-handling.
From the probable assumption that pilots didn't handle the emergency well while it was unfolding, to the fact that emergency management in Malaysia has constantly back tracked and then gone back. No one has answers, and it's frustrating for concerned people everywhere. Family and friends are at once in despair, and also probably asking "who is in charge?"
The thing about the pilot was that he has been well known for having simulators, with several monitors, in his room where ever he goes. It was said that he enjoys being a pilot so much, that he flies simulations on his time off, TO RELAX. He was well known for knowing all of the ins and outs of these planes, and knew every inch of those aircrafts, knew more about them than most people, because he lived and breathed flying.
To then turn around and say that he possibly "mishandled" the emergency doesn't fit.
I wouldn't say stellar employment though. In the US he would have faced losing his license and job for letting passengers in the cockpit during flight as well as smoking.
It wasn't the captain, it was the co-pilot who did that. The captain did NOT do that. Further, they are not in the US, they are in Malaysia.

I am not an aviation expert, but if it works as described here: Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappearance is unlike anything in aviation history. then a plane nearing a land (China, Vietnam or whatever) should appear on radars again.
According to the article: "Soon after the plane leave the land, the controllers continue to see its symbol moving across their screens, based on the information obtained from the flight plan and from the last actual contact between controllers and the plane. They’re out of contact, and their status within the system is based on assumption until the plane reappear again on their radar systems" , when it gets closer to ground again. It wasn't until the flight failed to establish communication with controllers in Vietnam that the red flag went up.
If it were under the sea, would the underwater locator beacon in the black box, capable of transmitting sound at 14,000 feet deep, had been detected in some way as soon as it hit water?

No very limited range. A few miles.
Likely find it only if a ship drags a detector close by.
Once in the water all comm is lost unless an emergency locator floated free. Unlikely.
