Speculation on MH370 aircraft demise [View all]

[AnalystInParadise]

Let's have a thread where we have a polite discussion on what could have gone wrong with MH370 that is now missing and presumed lost.

EDIT: Interesting, I saw this after my post. http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2014/03/09/Missing-MAS-flight-Uighur-link/

It could be simple mechanical failure, it could be explosive decompression, it could be many things. My job is as an analyst and this region is not my focus, but I have an interesting theory. I believe there is a low level insurgency against the Chinese government. The knife attacks a few weeks ago killed dozens and it seems that a Uighur separatist group are the source of that attack. Here is what we know about MH370. Over half the flights passengers were Chinese nationals. There were two passports that were stolen and used by someone, these passports were Austrian and Italian. Uighurs can pass for southern Europeans in certain cases due to appearance. Also there is the luggage snafu, it would not difficult to bribe airport workers in a country like Malaysia to look the other way for a baggage switch, hell it isn't that difficult in this country

I have no proof, I have no evidence, all we have is the mystery. But I could see a logical path where two Uighurs travelling on false passports could be on a mission to bring down a plane full of Chinese nationals. It fits the definition of terror in being random, unexpected, and effective.

Any evidence that negates my theory is VERY likely to occur, but until more evidence is secured, this seems a potential. Any one else have any theories?

Honestly flight failure of the airframe is probably the most likely. But the fact that there was a recent terror attack in China, most of the passengers were Chinese and the plane originated in a Muslim country lead me to SPECULATE, that's all this is speculation. Let's hear what you have.
