Interesting thread on the Professional Pilots board. Warning: it's about 80 pages long:

Would the plane have enough fuel to reach the deserted areas of Australia? |
Apparently, a fisherman reported a low plane off the coast of Malaysia. |
Also the man that bought the two tickets for the fake passport people was Iranian...hmm... |
I know. It reminds me of the show. Soon we will see fake wreckage. But seriously, it is weied. In most cases thier would be a distress signal, right? |
So... Who thinks its terrorism? The more I read the more I think it is the only thing that makes sense. |
Unless it was blown out of the sky, right? |
I think something catastrophic happened to the plane and it veered off course and crashed into the water or disintegrated on its way down. They'll find the debris field soon. |
I'm the opposite. The more we know nothing, the more it doesn't sound like terrorism. The stolen passports paid for by the Iranian guy were human trafficking, it sounds like. I'm thinking deliberate pilot, or something really freak and mechanical. |
No other plausible explanation. Had to have been blown out of the sky. |
The two Iranian men apparently bought the stolen passports to go to Europe to settle. One was headed to Germany to be with his mother, the other to Denmark. Their friends spoke out about it. |
yeah -- Iranians with fake passports are usually just trying to get out of the country for a better life in Europe, especially young ones like the two here. |
I feel badly for not having read more - if this crash involved Americans, I know I'd be following this more closely. That said, what I have read makes me think more and more that this isn't terrorism. I think shows like 24 and homeland make us think there's something significant about the passport thing when there probably isn't. It's likely just a coincidence. People do shady things all the time. It's possible somebody just happened to be doing something shady with a passport or two when a plane happened to crash. |
+1 I feel uncomfortable that their names and faces are being shown in the media. It doesn't seem like any of them have anything to do with the plane's demise, and they were just seeking a better life. Sure their methods aren't legal or right, but they were still passengers who lost their lives through no fault of their own, like the other passengers. |
It would have been picked up on radar. |
