20 passengers on the missing plane are world-class electronic geeks for a major Defense contracting company that specializing in such things as weapons that disappear planes and ships for the battlefield. They are employed by a company designing and manufacturing cutting edge electronic weaponry for the Department of Defense. Such weaponry includes those making it possible to vanish planes off the radar.
The plane may have traveled at low altitude below the radar? The officials are not willing to say how far they were able to follow the track after the plane returned:
Malaysian civil aviation chief Azharuddin said the search includes northern parts of the Malacca Strait, on the opposite side of the Malay Peninsula and far west of the plane's last known location. Azharuddin would not explain why crews were searching there, saying, "There are some things that I can tell you and some things that I can't."
If the plane veered far off course, a likely explanation would be sudden, uncontrolled depressurization. Cabin crew would have been incapacitated within seconds. We will probably not know what really happened for years. Plenty of time for boundless speculation, revealing our ignorance and (mostly) hidden biases.
except for that one plane that got sucked up by a flying saucer, every other airliner that ever went down was eventually found and the cause determined.

Could terrorists really have managed to pull off what many of us see as a nearly impossible hijacking?
Doubt it was terrorists, since nobody is taking credit. More likely the plane was confiscated by a government or some other powerful group. They wanted something or someone on the plane. Which brings us back to North Korea, the only place I think would be capable of hiding a confiscation like that.

I'm really getting tired of seeing such malarkey repeated over and over. Terrorists typically don't claim responsibility. The point of terrorism os to create a climate of fear and helplessness. Nothing does that better than not knowing who attacked you or why. Once you know who did it, the fear turns to anger and resolve to seek justice, the helplessness melts into action to go after the bad guys.
"How many acts of terrorism go unclaimed? Most of them. Credible perpetrators claimed responsibility for only 14 percent of the more than 45,000 terrorist acts that have occurred since 1998, according to the University of Maryland's Global Terrorism Database."
BTW, a group called the Chinese Martyrs Brigade claimed responsibility Sunday via untraceable email, but authorities are skeptical.
