If that plane crashed in the Indian ocean, would `nt there be some debris washing a shore by now, especially after all the bad wind weather and a cyclone that has occur over the ocean, unless the plane went down whole without breaking up at all. So all there is are witnesses one man on a rig that said he saw a plane on fire flying over the china sea, and some saying they saw the plane flying over the Maldives Inslands. Since it was said the plane flew for six or seven more hours it has to be in the Indian ocean or Pakistan or Iran.
And another question they know the plane turned left on it course, how do they know it turn again north or south ? if did just fly straight it would be headed for the Arabian sea.
The loss of oxygen/faulty pressurization theory seems to be the best hypothesis to date -- supposing the loss of oxygen was rapid enough, this would explain why there were no outgoing emergency calls from either the passengers or pilots. The "terrorist/hijacking" theory doesn't seem to hold -- the whole point of terrorism is to garner publicity for a political cause. Ergo no hijacker would want to "secretly" hijack a jet and keep its demise -- and the purpose of its demise -- in secret.
However, something seems very strange: WHY, after all this time, has no debris yet been found? I find it hard to believe that the entire jet crashed into the ocean and sank to the bottom in one intact piece. There should be traces of debris by now.
Anyone have any ideas how this could be?
Perhaps like that movie, Airport 77 a possibility, where the whole plane went down. What if the plane had all power short circuited and the pilot had to fly the plane manually with no navigation, trying to find a landing strip in the dark and over ran the land, flying until running out of gas and tried to land the plane like that one pilot did on the Hudson bay, that whole plane could be underwater, there would be no debris.and really hard to find that plane anywhere. They only have two more days for the black boxes to stopped working to give a signal .

It's a fly-by-wire system, you can't fly the plane with no power. And the Hudson was smooth, the ocean has waves that would catch a wing and send it catapulting.

That is what I was thinking. There'd be no way that plane went under water in one piece.
Unless it didn't go down, in one piece, in the ocean. Pings are "consistent" with the airplane??? I call baloney. They're waiting for those black box signals to die so they can turn around and say all hope is lost, everyone is legally dead. Then whatever ACTUALLY happened, will forever be classified documents for the archives of relevant governments involved.

It's a huge ocean, and they don't really know where to look. It could be anywhere. If it did crash where they say it did (which they can't be sure of), any floating debris would have been taken away by the current by now, probably.
There's still a chance it could be on land, imo. Boeing and Rolls Royce were tracking the RR engines, and they've been strangely silent this entire time. They haven't shared what they know. I'm hoping the recent pings are from the plane, but I'm not holding my breath. It could be almost anywhere.
