that it was a hijacking, possibly by a crew member, for reasons so far unknown. But until they find the thing or some other hard evidence I'm inclined to just wait and see. If it crashed in the ocean there should be some floating wreckage, but the area is so huge that even if there is floating stuff, will they actually find it?
