So what's your theory about flight MH370?
 
I'm hoping it turns out to be a mass alien abduction.
 
Second-best outcome: they're stranded on an uncharted island guarded by smoke things.
 
And where are all the psychics on this one? I miss Sylvia Brown. She would have had a book out by now.
 
Sadly, the truth will turn out to be far more mundane and unhappy. But as long as it's a mystery, we can take comfort in fanciful speculation.

I think it was hijacked. Go below radar and fly to an airstrip as arranged. The evening news was just commenting how ridiculous this idea is. Really? In this day and age very little happens that I don't think is ridiculous. Second guess is the smoke monsters Bit.

Well bit, being as the subject is a serious one you may find some people might not take cotton to answering it(here where Buffoonery rules the board). I hope those folk's get an answer as to what happened(God Bless them in the worst case scenario) and hopefully we don't get into a ruckus over how people respond to this inquiry here at Unfunny central.
 

If nothing else it has shown us once again that all the technology that we take for granted every day still has it's limitations. I've no real doubt that this tragic mystery will be solved...but it is a baffling conundrum.

Okay... I was going to stay out of it... you know, let it slide...
 
How can the FSF contain craigb?, or mesh for that matter. I'm sorry Bapu but you got a leaky Fred there.

"DEPENDS" on what your definition of leaky is.

I really hope there's a good explanation and the passengers are safe.  From what I've heard so far, it sounds a lot like the plot to the James Bond movie Thunderball.  

Bit did not say "serious theories only" so here goes.....
 
 
They're looking for Amelia's flight path.

Well as much as I'd like to think they're all hanging out with Spongebob Squarepants in some wacky underwater malt shop, I think the most probably answer is hijacked and crashed. If it was some kind of terror attack though, it's certainly strange that nobody has claimed any kind of involvement. I read somewhere that they were also floating "pilot suicide" as a theory - totally nuts but given the complete lack of clues, probably about as likely as anything else.
