Passenger jet missing

Guys the hijacking is conclusive because there was a 12 minute gap between the disabling of the transponders and messaging system, with no communication from the pilots during that time.

A plane doesn't turn around on its own. A crashed plane doesn't continue flying in the wrong direction for hours. A suicidal pilot doesn't disable all communication and tracking systems. Hijacking is the only reasonable conclusion left
 
it is all speculation at this point, I am sticking with catastrophic decompression, wither intentional or not, I can see a scenario where the plane looses compression, last and slowest to loose it is the pilots chamber, in your almost out state you hit switches, thinking right switches, play with the controls then out! this one as good as all the others i have read.
 
That's an interesting theory but how does it explain the plane completely changing course, or the gap in communications? This was a pilot with like 30k hours of experience, even if something happened to him the co-pilot would have said something in those 12 minutes
 
I am not sure it does. but again all speculation, lets say some nut job was able to throw the release hatch and suck him and who ever near out the door. that same vacuum is applied to your lungs, not just a matter of getting a mask on, ever had the wind knocked of you? now in the cockpit the vacuum is slower do to a sealed door but subject just the same, as oxygen deprivation sets in you are trying to get a grip on things, you are working half in and out of a dream state, transponder big on your list, lets click it to make sure its on, whats altitude and heading, this may need to be adjusted, again you in a mostly dream land before the lights go out. again just speculation, the climb to 45000 feet may have actually been an attempt to drop to 23000 feet but the reality was just not clicking, or the copilot may have seen the climb as the capt was going out and attempted to correct it before going out himself. hand off, all out, plane fly's a strait line till out of fuel.

at this point just no tellen.
 
yes, except for the engine pings to Rolls Royce (sp) off a satellite giving performance updates.
 
I'd expect more irrational behavior if you're hitting wrong buttons and going wrong directions to the point you disable transponders in that scenario. Thats a remarkable amount of bad luck that goes just right to go invisible
 
soon as you turn off the transponders done deal except for radar, then you just a blip, no more distinguished than any other blip.
 
I think I'm leaning towards a decompression situation also. I had to look up the other accident pops mentioned, and I thought this could be similar. I think someone would have claimed credit for this if it were an attack.
