it's on the ground somewhere and those innocent people are somehow still breathing.
I've been searching that part of the world for possible landing locations and the only place I'm seeing so far is Car Nicobar but, according to Wikipedia, that is an Indian military outpost and Google Earth shows a couple of helos parked there. Pictures show it to be sparse as airbases go. If it were subject to seizure by some terrorist organization, that would probably be difficult to keep under wraps. There is a large hanger there but I don't think it can house a 777, based on the crude ruler measurement feature in Google Earth which has it at 196'x196'. The 777-200ER's dimensions are:
Wing Span 199 ft 11 in (60.9 m)
Overall Length 209 ft 1 in (63.7 m)
Tail Height 60 ft 9 in (18.5 m)
Here are a few pics I made while trying to make some since of this mystery. I was going to post them in an OP to just throw the idea out there but figured it was improbable that an Indian military outpost is mixed up in this, though India is not immune to terrorism, as we all know too well.
