Para sa akin, reports on CNN paulit ulit na lang and so depressing kasi hindi naman ma-connect ang facts gathered sa mga theories and leaves more question than answer.
Until I saw this article, I choose to believe the newly formed theory about the fate of the MH370

Plane was still flying somewhere when MAS declared the plane was missing...
Why didn’t Malaysian military react to MH370 blip on radar screens, ask investigators
The Malaysian InsiderThe Malaysian Insider – 17 hours ago
Investigators are puzzled over Malaysian military's inaction in responding to an unidentified blip on their radar screens that was later said to be the missing flight MH370, the New York Times reported today.
It reported that the plane flew past three military radars and over Penang but nothing was done to identify it, which would have helped prevent its disappearance.
"The watch team never noticed the blip, it was as though the airspace was his," a person with detailed knowledge of the investigation reportedly told the NYT.
Still, the report said that this was not the first, nor would it be the last of the long series of errors the Malaysian government has made, which complicated the task of finding the missing Boeing 777-200ER (9M-MRO) with239 onboard.
Today is the eight day since the plane disappeared from radar and the trail had gotten weaker as the search expands to Kazakhstan to the vast Indian Ocean.
While no one can say with certainty whether the delays had doomed those onboard the jet, mistakes have accumulated at a remarkable pace, NYT said.
The paper highlighted that MH370 flew over the peninsula without the military realising or identifying it – a damning fact, quoting David Learmount, operations and safety editor of Flightglobal, a news and data service for the aviation sector.
It was also reported that senior Malaysian military officers only became aware of the radar data soon after news spread that MH370 had disappeared.
Yet, the government organised and oversaw an expensive and complex international search and rescue effort in the Gulf of Thailand for a full week.
Only yesterday did Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak admit that satellite data had shown the plane continued to fly for six more hours after leaving Malaysian airspace.
According to the NYT report, a four-person air force crew based in Butterworth watching for intrusions into the country’s airspace either did not notice or failed to report a blip on their defensive radar and air traffic radar that was moving steadily across the country from east to west, heading right towards them.
Even the crews at two other radar installations at Kota Baru did not designate the blip as an unknown intruder, while the jetliner continued to fly across the country without anyone watching or alerting a superior or the national defence command, despite the fact that the radar contact’s flight path did not correspond to any filed flight plan.
And as a result, combat aircraft never scrambled to investigate.
Instead the radar contact was only discovered when military officials began going through tapes later on March 8, after the plane failed to land in Beijing.
And as the morning unravelled, it became clear that something had gone wrong.
Malaysian air force chief Gen Tan Sri Rodzali Daud (pic) on Wednesday, openly acknowledged the existence of the radar signals for the first time, five days after the plane went missing.
Still, he had said that further analysis was necessary because the radar plots of the aircraft’s location were stripped of the identifying information given by the plane’s onboard transponders, which someone aboard the aircraft appeared to have switched off.
Given the uncertainty, it is not possible to know yet whether action by the Malaysian government or military could have altered its fate.
The report noted that Najib took pains when he addressed the media yesterday to say that Malaysia had not concealed any information, including military data. – March 16, 2014.

Hehehe.. ayan ang straight forward. Nasaan na ba yun tikoy ko Retz :naughty2:
Mabilis lang naman yun sagot on why nobody is picking up their phone. Let's say it's hijacked and you have an armed terrorist just a few meters away from you. Sasagot ka pa rin ng phone? Maybe not?

Some of the communication systems were already turned off when the tower last contacted MH370...
Final words from jet came after systems shutdown
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — When someone at the controls calmly said the last words heard from the missing Malaysian jetliner, one of the Boeing 777's communications systems had already been disabled, authorities said, adding to suspicions that one or both of the pilots were involved in the disappearance of the flight.
Authorities have said someone on board the plane first disabled one of its communications systems — the Aircraft and Communications Addressing and Reporting System, or ACARS — about 40 minutes after takeoff. The ACARS equipment sends information about the jet's engines and other data to the airline.
About 14 minutes later, the transponder that identifies the plane to commercial radar systems was also shut down. The fact that both systems went dark separately offered strong evidence that the plane's disappearance was deliberate.
On Sunday, Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein told a news conference that the final, reassuring words from the cockpit — "All right, good night" — were spoken to air traffic controllers after the ACARS system was shut off. Whoever spoke did not mention any trouble on board.

March 17th, 2014 02:00 PM #220if indeed the plane was hijacked by the pilot/s themselves ... there's a good chance it landed at an airport and all inside are alive
That is just for LTO purposes. LTO rounded up 399 to 400 for registration purposes. TRB/DPWH did...
