What I find crazy is that two people boarded the plane with passports that had been reported stolen over a year previous. You would think that in this day and age boarding a plane with a stolen passport would set off some alarm bells at the check in stand.
Good explanation of why no one checked:

There was a French plane that dissapeared near Brazil a few years ago, took 2 years to find it.
Outcome could be very different this time.
- First of all, they found signs of the Air France crash site within hours and were recovering bodies within 5 days, which allowed them to deduce the approximate locale of the crash site.
- Secondly, the were able to narrow down the location of the ultrasonic transponder in the data flight recorders from sonar data collected near the crash site by the nuclear sub Émeraude. It took almost a year of analyzing the sonar data to determine the location. By the time this was done, the transponders were long dead.
- Using the 1-year old data, they started a search on the ocean floor in the vicinity with robot submersibles using sidescan sonar and within a week located the wreckage 12,000 feet down on the ocean floor.
The difference here is first there is no wreckage as of yet to narrow down the site, and second, once the transponders die (they say in about 20 days), it will be extremely difficult to know where to even begin looking.
the idea of someone stuffing that plane full of bad things n using it as a weapon is terrifying..
It sure is.
My Theory:
Bad guy pilot takes out co-pilot (or he's in on it ,either way)
Pilot takes the plane to 45,000 ft and de-pressurizes it to knock out the passengers
Gases them after that
Does some zig zagging to throw authorities off the scent
Flies below radar (super easy to do on movies) to secret Jihadi Muslim lair
Make plane a massive dirty bomb
Oh for fucks sake you tin-foiled fools, the plane simply malfunctioned and fell outta' the sky. :rolleyes:
It's a Boeing cover-up! :shhh:

When many people suffer from a delusion, it is called religion.
ya gotta admit, crowdsourcing the search of endless miles of ocean satelite images is quite brilliant. You'd think there was a better way to let someone know about your find than twitter though.
ps - KenN follows Courtney?
Nah, but salon.com gives the goods …

No need to gas them. Stay up at 45,000 until their airbags have no more air (pilots and attendants last longer) and stay until they are dead. No 'gas' required
this space is intentionally blank, other than this note about it being blank.

It would be pretty damn hilarious if she actually found it

You'd think they'd build in redundant and stand alone systems into a modern aircraft in case of situations like this.

I imagine they have chemical o2 generators for the passengers, if that's what you meant by airbags. ;)

Or maybe even some GPS since they rely on radar and radio on trans-oceanic flights. Fedex trucks have more monitoring than a aeroplane.

I prefer to listen to a rational explanation from someone with 20 years pilot experience.
