THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT!!!!
Seriously, though, I think they flew into the Pacific's version of the Bermuda Triangle.
Okay, seriously, I heard a story on the news recently about a French (I think) plane that was crossing the Atlantic that suddenly went missing and no one knew why. I can't remember if they had sent out a distress call or not, but I think air traffic control knew they were having problems.
In that case, they think it was pilot error and overcompensation in the wrong direction that crashed that plane - they were going too slowly and the pilot thought they were going too fast so slowed the plane and they fell out of the sky.
I think it was this flight I was hearing about.

Perhaps some similar pilot error occurred with the Malaysian flight.
Were the pilots in radio contact with the ground up until the moment they disappeared? That's the one thing I've heard nothing about - the level of regular communication with the plane before it went down.
Also, I heard that a Chinese satellite might have found some debris that could be from the plane, but as of yet there has been no confirmation that the debris is actually from the downed plane.
