Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

This whole mystery could have been avoided if the Malaysian military had reacted to seeing an unknown plane flying across Malaysia that night.

"Can it not be that the pilot of MH370 lost control of their aircraft after someone directly or remotely activated the equipment for seizure of control of the aircraft."

This is a theory which refuses to go away. We could be looking at the world's first cyber hijacking.

I guess this is what happens in peacetime when no threats are apparent.

The film has not started shooting yet. The trailer was made to show to potential investors, in order to raise the finances needed to make the film.

Let's hope that they don't get enough backing to make it then, only an idiot would invest in such a project.

Since no debris has been found, is it possible that the plane ditched in the ocean and went down in one piece?

It would have to be a near perfect ditching for it to go down in one piece and I don't see how anyone could make a near perfect ditching in the rough seas of the southern Indian ocean, even assuming there was someone at the controls. Most likely any crash or landing in that area would have torn the plane apart.

There's now a second book on the missing plane, written by a British author and pilot, Sylvia Wrigley. The theory of this book is that a stray bullet fired in a struggle during a doomed hijack was the cause of the plane's disappearance. The book 'The Mystery of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370' argues that the terrorists successfully took control of the plane but their plans went wrong when one of the crew or a brave passenger intervened. A gunshot could have caused a slow decompression undetected by the hijackers and led to them not putting oxygen masks on as the pressure reduced.

And now here's a second film. I'm not sure if this is an attempt to explain what happened to MH370, or just a thriller inspired by it. Either way it claims to be "based on real events".

The Inmarsat satellite data has been made public today. It gives people the chance to see first hand how Inmarsat made their calculations to place the plane in the southern Indian ocean, but probably won't change anything.
