[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've followed since the beginning and knew about Jeff, but not Florence. These are my random thoughts:

[b]Conspiracy theory[/b]: This isn't junk as pp said. A massive plane vanished, and there is ZERO established fact around it. So, people are trying to figure it out. Often the public investigate to pressure authorities. Look at what Erin Brokovich or the #freebritney group accomplished.

[b]Phones[/b]: I personally believe it all hinges on this. I lived in China for years and the Chinese are OBSESSED with their phones. I'm a rule follower and used to get pissed off because Chinese passengers rarely turned off phones in flight. There is zero chance people wouldn't have called loved ones, even with an oxygen mask on. If the co-pilot knew he got locked out, why wouldn't he grab a passenger's phone and call for help or send a message. For so long people believe the de-pressurized theory, but that still allowed for 15 MINUTES of oxygen. They were only 40 minutes from takeoff, so the drinks service would have started meaning that people would be glued to their phones before going to sleep. It take 10 second to send a text to a loved one if you are fearing something. I hadn't heard of Florence's take, but to me it seems most likely that the AWOKs turned off/scrambled the communications system because it would be immediate, and nobody would have suspected anything. By the time they knew something was wrong, they would no longer have access. Also, if the pilot knew something was wrong, he wouldn't have notified the cabin crew.

[b]Suicide[/b]: Least likely. Some guy has a death wish, but again it takes 15 minutes for people to lose consciousness. Look at the 9/11 flight that came together to fight. Why wouldn't this have happened. Again, people were awake and standing at that point. Also, why would he fly for 7 hours with a dead cabin, wearing an oxygen mask and pissing himself waiting for the plane to run out of gas so he could nosedive into the ocean? It makes zero logical sense. Why would the FBI wait nearly 2 years to release his flight data? Why did Intan, the Malaysian flight attendant who lost her husband, say that he was well-liked and none of the staff believed it?

[b]Pilot[/b]: Look, he could have done something, but I do not believe it was related suicide. If he was as beloved as Intan and the Malaysian air guy said, I think Florence's theory is best. He would have ignored the commands to turn around because with his communications system down, he couldn't check with Malaysia. He probably knew something was very, very wrong and tried to handle it as best as he could.

[b]Florence's theory[/b]: This sounds most likely to me. The cargo that was escorted and not run is troubling, I hadn't heard of it before. Her theory sounds most plausible. And, even if the US wasn't involved why didn't the US tell everyone where MH370 was since the AWOKs were there. I think her theory about it going right past the Butterworth airbase and not being detected makes sense. A pp asked why would the US sacrifice people to do this? Sadly, they probably thought there were few Americans on board, and second they convinced themselves that more people would would get hurt than those on the plane. Or, it was related to something else. Again, a plance doesn't vanish into thin air. The US has to know something. People also seemed to ignore the woman from Texas who had found evidence of something on the satellite images and what other pilots had seen.

[b]Intan[/b]: Again, she's the Malaysian flight attendant. She said she didn't believe it flew south, but I really wanted to know her theory.

Still, none of this answers where is the plane? Only one piece recovered has a serial number that matches. Don't get me started on the yahoo who shows up on the beach and "holy smokes!" there is a plane piece, and another, and another. Nope. This is one the greatest, saddest mysteries of our time.

You're mixing a lot of different things together here. The AWACS theory only makes sense if MH370 was the only plane in the vicinity to have their comms jammed, which would have happened well after they made the turn south. And she said there were two AWACS. Each AWACS carries a crew of 31 and they could not have downed the plane on its own. I don't buy that more than 60 people know that a passenger aircraft was shot down and no one has talked. I found this whole theory really confusing.

As far as murder/suicide, since we don't know what actually happened, it's entirely possible that the passengers fought back without success. Since 9/11 the pilot can lock the cockpit door and prevent any entry. And while the pilot's family and colleagues say they didn't think suicide was possible there could be a lot of different reasons for that - plain old denial, cultural norms, saving face, the pilot hiding his issues. I do think the FBI should explain (and maybe they have) why the flight simulator data wasn't released for two years, but that clue really ties it all together for me and explains what happened. Or it's time travel and aliens and the plane will show up again someday.[/quote]
