The pilots/aviation experts on the documentaries were saying differently, so I don't know.

I suspect by plummet, they mean the plane would not glide as far as if the pilots trimmed the plane for glide, not that it would pitch down and nose dive into the water.

No, they specifically talked about it going super sonic falling out of the sky. Maybe it just depends on the type of plane?

I would be amazed if 777 could exceed the speed of sound without breaking up first. The plane has to have a certain very distinctive and identifiable shape to withstand the effect of traveling at the speed of sound. 777 doesn’t have any of it,

Guys, it is possible he didn't want it found so his family can receive his benefits, super, death on the job insurance, etc.

If he was intent on killing himself, why not let his wife and kids benefit?

Well, is there insurance involved and what are the terms of the insurance?   Is it worth more than his earning power, what could be the reasons why he want to give his family his insurance rather than his earning power?  These ought to be easy to find out, at least for the investigators.

Over here about the first thing that would be done is that any such payments would be frozen pending investigation.

The plane was taken by an UFO from another solar system just like the Star Trek movie where they came back in time to take some whales to the future so that the alien probe wouldn't destroy the Earth.

Agree, but they can't not pay based on accusations, can they?

Finally, a sensible scenario.

I just found out the MH370 was the actual 404th Boeing 777 built!
So it does makes sense to say error 404 not found.
