On the early morning of March 7th Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 370 was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. When suddenly on the safest part of the trip, Malaysia Airlines lost complete contact with the aircraft over the ocean carrying 239 passengers. The pilots had not notified the control center about anything and the weather was perfect. The airline said there were 152 passengers from China, 38 from Malaysia, seven from Indonesia, six from Australia, five from India and three from the U.S. and others from Indonesia, France, New Zealand, Canada, Ukraine, Russia, Taiwan and the Netherlands. They found large jet fuel oil strips in the ocean this morning 50 miles away from where the plane went off the radar. Malaysia Airlines confirms that 2 passengers aboard the flight had stolen passports. I mean one person with a fake passport, but two? Terrorist always use stolen passports. Idk what do you guys think?

I honestly don't think it was terrorist. Why would they hijack a plane from Malaysia? Their's no point. It probably got lost in a storm and/or the pilots lost control on the way to it's destination, and for the plane? Who knows what happened to it. I just don't think terrorist would have a logical motive to do that.

More than likely there was probably a malfunction with the plane and it either crashed completely or crash landed.

If there was going to be a terrorist attack it would of already happened by now.

Time will tell.

It seems pointless to hijack it over sea, crash it, and maybe kill everyone onboard, when they could have hijacked it when it was coming in to land, and crashed it into an urban area.
Logically more people would die, making it a more successful terrorist attack.
Then again, anything could have happened on the plane which forced them to make it crash sooner rather than later.

However, if it was a terrorist attack, I'm sure that a group would have claimed responsibility by now.

it pretty much has to have been a terrorist attack. there were no storms that they could have flown into and pilots are trained to call for help the instant something goes wrong. the plane has a cruising altitude of about 35,000 feet so it would take around 12 minutes to descend all the way to the ground which is more than enough time to call for help. it's also a little suspicious that two people were on that plane with stolen passports, both of which were stolen in Thailand, and both men bought one-way tickets last week at the same travel agency in a mall at the Thailand beach resort of Pattaya.

something tells me this wasn't an accident

As a student pilot, and having grown up in the airline industry, there are only two things that could've happened:

1: Catastrophic mechanical failure resulting in explosive decompression.

2: Terrorism.

The fact that there were two passengers on board the flight using stolen passports makes me think it wasn't an accident. There was a third one, a Russian, who was stopped before boarding and was caught using a stolen passport. The two who made it on the flight bought their tickets at the same time. Does all this automatically mean it's the result of terrorism? No, I'm just speculating based on fact.

But like Kia said, if it was terrorism, most likely a group would've claimed responsibility by now, unless this was a small group made up of just those three pax.

If it crash landed, there would be a signal coming from a thing called an ELT, or Emergency Locater Transmitter, which is designed to survive high-impact G-Forces. If it crash landed, we most likely would've found it by now.
