so many theories and info flying around :S

not sure about jihadists and shoe bomb, why use a flight of a muslim country?? a flight with so many chinese which could escalate conflict with china??

Search for #MH370 points south to the Indian Ocean. North is not impossible, but less likely. http://t.co/cusgxANSDc pic.twitter.com/sWxZzML3Yh

This shows how big the world actually is and there is quite a lot of remote places. Although, if it did landed you would have thought someone who wasn't "part of it" would have spotted it.

i dont think it could fly near indo-tibet border and not been spotted the area is highly militarized

I find it so weird how it flew for so many hours after dropping all communication and not one person saw anything. If it did land somewhere, how has no one come forward they saw a plane coming in to land at a small airfield or airbase that doesn't normally have commercial planes landing there. Someone must've seen something and just hasn't come forward. Maybe this week will be the week they find it.

Some of the latest:

(Reuters) - India on Sunday put on hold its search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, at the request of the government in Kuala Lumpur, which wants to reassess the week-old hunt for the Boeing 777 that is suspected of being deliberately flown off course.

India had been combing two areas, one around the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and a second, further west, in the Bay of Bengal. Both operations have been suspended, but may yet resume, defence officials said.

"It's more of a pause," said Commander Babu, a spokesman for the country's Eastern Naval Command.

"The Malaysian authorities are reassessing the situation. They will figure whether they need to shift the area of search."

just confirmed in the Q&A that the transponder was turned off BEFORE the pilot signed off with 'all right goodnight.'
