MALAYSIAN: INVESTIGATORS CONCLUDE FLIGHT HIJACKEDBY EILEEN NG AND JOAN LOWY
ASSOCIATED PRESS


KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -- Investigators have concluded that one or more people with significant flying experience hijacked the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, switched off communication devices and steered it off-course, a Malaysian government official involved in the investigation said Saturday.


No motive has been established and no demands have been made known, and it is not yet clear where the plane was taken, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media. The official said that hijacking was no longer a theory

"It is conclusive," he said.
 
If they ever find MH370, and I really hope they do soon, it will make a helluva movie.

Liam, stand by the phone.
 
Missing Malaysia plane MH370 said to be traced to sea off Australia


KUALA LUMPUR - The last satellite transmission from a Malaysian airliner missing for a week has been traced to the Indian Ocean off Australia, far from where searches have taken place, Bloomberg news agency reported on Saturday.


Quoting a person familiar with the analysis, the Bloomberg report said a path from Malaysia to the ocean off Australia would have taken as much as 3,000 miles, about the maximum distance the Boeing Co. 777-200 could have flown with its fuel load.


Flight 370 may have flown beyond its last known position about 1,000 miles west of Perth, and that location may not be an indication of where the plane ended up, said the person, quoted by Bloomberg. He spoke on condition of not being named because of the sensitivity of the information.

These unnamed government officials should go hide under a rock at this stage.

I don't think it's possible to lose any more face is it?
 
has the question on the length of the flight-deck voice recording been mentioned somewhere already?

If the jet did indeed fly for several hours, does this mean the recording of whatever happened in the flight deck will now have been recorded over? Or does the CVR record for 5-6 hours?
 
This really is turning out to be one of the world's great mysteries! So, the evidence they have is now pointing back to a hijacking. Could this be like that Ethiopian Airlines plane that ended up crashing into the sea because the hijackers wouldn't accept that there was not enough fuel to reach the destination they wanted?
 
These reports still sound like a load of confused and contradictory drivel.
Actually was personally thinking the opposite, while we don't yet have the answer some key theories seem to be becoming dominant and gaining support, and others have been totally written off. Maybe it's our expectation of instant satisfaction that's the problem here!
