Its so weird isn't it. Where the fuck is it?
I don't think that it can be a simple hijacking as there are systems for a plane to report that specifically designed to be doable without being observed by either the pilot or the co-pilot. Unless the pilot and co-pilot were working together to steal the plane.
The plane is apparently designed to be able to glide for 50 miles or so without power - so engine failure isn't a possibility - the crew would have had plenty of time to report a problem.
Even in the event of catastrophic failure (a wing came off for example) it would still take about 3 minutes and 10 seconds to the plane to hit the earth. Surely a trained pilot would be able to get an SOS out in that time?
The only other thing I can think of is a massive, sudden explosion and fireball that destroyed the whole thing in one go or a frontal collision that took out the cockpit instantly.
Those both leave more questions than they answer.
In short - no fucking idea - its bizarre!
