Some interesting reading, including the fact that 2 of the passengers were travelling on stolen passports

I would imagine passengers on false passports in that part of the world was normal.
Until the black boxes are recovered, it is not worth wasting time talking about what happened. This can take years, as the Air France crash off the coast of Brazil took 3 years to come to a conclusion: Basically pilot errorKeith Driscoll - Administrator

We have a contract at work with Malaysian airlines and the man in charge of the flights here was telling me that he knows the two pilots and they have 10's of years experience between them....
I would say for no mayday message to be sent before it disappeared then something serious happened so quickly that nobody would have time to react.

Pilot error? No one knows. What we do know is, two stolen passports on an Interpol database were used. Obviously this raises some serious security questions. For instance, I am booked on a Phillipines flight to Manila in May, but they haven't asked for my passport details. It's a worry when reading of these things. It's all very well, but airlines need to cover basic security measures.

Isn't it strange that in our hi-tech world, with satellites that can read a number plate, everything tracked by mobiles and GPS, we can lose a massive 777?

For those interested in what they're saying on the 'Pilots' Forum' (+ a few wannabes and plane spotters).

Seems like the authorities are in some doubt as to the planes last known position - they're now talking about searching on the west side of the Malay peninsula

The lack of not knowing what happened to this plane and its passengers 4 days after it went missing in this day and age is quite amazing to me.. Even suspicious.
Not even a single piece of floating debris?
Confusion surrounds details of missing plane, with discrepancies over time and last position, and odd reference to Mario Balotelli

Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: Passengers' Mobile Phones Ring But Not Answered
According to China.org.cn, 19 families have signed a joint statement saying that their family members' cell phones connected, but the calls hung up. The relatives have asked Malaysia Airlines to reveal any information they might be hiding, seeking an explanation for the eerie phone connections. The relatives have complained that the Malaysina Airlines is not responding as actively as it should.
Angry family members also threw water bottles at an MAS spokesman and threatened to protest in front of the Malaysian embassy in China if the airlines did not "disclose" the "truth".

MH370: Did authorities visit crash site today (Tuesday)?

This is starting to seem as though it's a depressurisation problem. The plane would have flown with everyone unconscious, or dead, until it ran out of fuel. Then the computers would keep the plane level and at flight speed until it landed on the water. Hence no wreckage. As no one was alive to open the doors, no lifejackets. The only problem with that theory is that it should still be floating.
