okay, this is a pretty "out there" theory, but what are the odds that the plane crashed into the ocean killing all those aboard?

Yeah right, and the moon landings were faked.

Wait, I should pick something that's actually bullshit

Yeah right, and Obama is Ameri - damnit, this is harder than I thought.

Unlike you guys, I do come from an aviation background. Not only am I from the same state that Boeing is in, I've also flown on a few airplanes in my day AND I've been to the Museum of Flight.

Knowing that, I am going to say that the plane was in the path of an underwater volcano, flew into the ash and crashed. But we can't find it because the volcano changed the fluid dynamics of the water and caused the airplane to sink. Then covered it in lava.

Probably pilot error why it crashed. Just get rid of pilots and go full auto. All those prima donnas do is sleep and occasionally kill a lot of people.

If we're going to make this a battle of experts, I've been to both the Smithsonian Air & Space, and the annex facility and have a poo poo ton of frequent flyer miles through work.

I have a very chillax blue collar dad who never goes out for conspiracy theories.
Today at lunch while speculating about this incident that he thought there was a chance the plane was diverted to an unexpected location and the passengers were being ransomed or in some way imprisoned and that the US (with perhaps other govt's) were playing along with the "Gee, gosh, where is it who knows?" routine while they hammered out a strategy/negotiation.

If that was the case, the governments involved could just keep playing dumb and not bother negotiating because whoever took 'em hasn't bothered to make it public.

Why pay money to kidnappers when you can just go to the families all "Welp, they crashed and sank into the *mumble mumble* trench. It's too deep so we'll never be able to recover them. PEACE!"

Agreed. They'd make more money just killing the people and harvesting their organs and selling the good looking ones into sex slavery.

I heard the "black box" "pings" can be heard only within a few miles. They should really make the pings louder and have them play loud music.

Another option would be to have all the planes tethered to extremely high tensile rope. Planes would never go missing again.

They have started using it in advertisements. Was it Pilot error? A kid allowed to fly the plane? Bad Weather? While we still don't know the fate of the Malaysian airliner, here are some other episodes you may be interested in.

Hesitate, and you will be lost.
Mother Jones is reporting that the climate change you caused has made it impossible to find the plane since the ocean currents are now messed up:

http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/03/climate-change-malaysia-airlines-370-search

I hope this opens your eyes, and that the families of those lost on flight MH370 sue each and every one of you.

And I also hope that all the countries involved in the search bill you for their search time spent, since you are responsible for losing the plane.
