There seems to be so much confusion going on at some of the highest levels in Malaysia about this missing aircraft. How distressing this has to be for anyone having had family aboard that plane. Imagine the pain and uncertainty of one of your family being on this flight and not knowing their fate, and then see bungling info coming out of authorities who are supposed to be finding out what happened.
Since there has been so much misinformation and theories stated then taken back, recanted or denied, of course the most obvious conclusion I could draw was that they experienced some sort of problem and quickly crashed in some way. But more disturbing, if terrorists are involved and the plane was hijacked and the passengers disposed of, then a very evil and demented group has themselves a modern jetliner to do as they please. Far fetched ? Agreed. But at this point one theory is as good as another when we just don't know the circumstances.
Prayers to the family and friends of those lost.
