Malaysia Airlines 777 missing

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've read thus far, the only facts we have publicly are:
-MH370 was on course for an hour, then went off radar and never checked in after a hand off.
-Debatable parameters which may or may not have included position reports continued for several hours after the disappearance.
-The range which the plane could have flown in any given direction with the fuel on board.

In addition, the following are potential facts but can't yet be proven with 100% accuracy:
-Another airliner may have gotten a reply from MH370 after ATC communications ceased.
-A primary target West of the Malay Peninsula may have been MH370, indicating a possible Northwesterly course reversal.
-Means of communication may have been shut down separately, deliberately.

But that's really it. The rest is hearsay, and the only verified facts I've seen thus far are the first 3. Given the wild media speculation, and even announcements from government officials, these conclusions seem premature and unfounded. That is, of course, unless information is being withheld from the public. But calling it a hijacking, bomb, pilot suicide, structural failure, or on board fire seems ludicrous given the confirmed facts at this point. Again, correct me if I'm wrong, but at this point, I think the world just needs to sit back and wait weeks, months, or years for more information. As hard as that may be.

I'm with you for all of the facts and officials providing the facts, but I struggle with the idea that Malaysia will provide all the facts if they potentially arise. I've been watching Malaysian officials act similar to the press where they release information that is not confirmed and change the direction of their investigation on said 'information.'

It seems that a lot of people on this forum trust the WSJ guy, and when he posted about it flying 4-5 hours more, Malaysia had no problem refuting the information and when the data even starts pointing to what WSJ guy said, they justified their position by saying it wasn't engine data but SATCOM data.

I'm not saying Malaysia is doing anything deceptive intentionally, but it just seems that when people are already on edge and looking for answers, the last thing you should do is put out any information that isn't able to be backed by some sort of solid data.

I don't believe that a multi million dollar aircraft just vanished .........without some sort of "assistance". I don't believe that it crashed either. For some reason I think this aircraft is parked in a hangar somewhere with the passengers ziptied and duct taped.

Sounds easy, start your search at hangars big enough to hold a 777.

First of all the xponder on a 777 is cannot be turned off.... its "hard wired" into the onboard circuitry.

Ok...so...then the terrorizers achieved this how, in your scenario? And I still don't see how that bit of info, if accurate, would be substantial evidence to suggest the plane was successfully flown to a remote location where 239 people were subdued without fighting back and are being kept alive.

The inconsistencies dont add up
If they were in this situation, the pilots would not switch off the radar trackers of the plane, let alone be thinking of doing so. If anything they would make sure the trackers were on.
