Its been missing for almost a week now.
More stories have been floating around on this mysterious disappearance. A lot of them assuming accident or terror incident. Me and my colleague at work worked on a few new theories I'd like to roll out to the public:
1. Teen agers taking the plane for a joy ride... this seems a little beyond the ability of most teens, though.
2. Insurance Fraud - The age-old case of something similar to J*wish lightning, where the owner of a small business torches his less productive stores with slow moving merchandise to get insurance payments. Malaysia Air did have less than profitable quarter to report so perhaps this is not totally absurd.
3. Ransom: age-old classical piracy
4. Lets say chop shop. You know how cars are stolen for their parts which are often worth way more than the car itself and can be untraceable or traded on the black market if not. This seems less than totally plausible because the 777 us a later model aircraft run by first tier airlines that would not be caught dead buying black market parts. A 737 stolen for parts may seem more likely given the age of the aircraft model and the large number in service, many third tier airlines run previously owned 737s and might be willing to use black market parts. OTOH the Roll Royce engines must surely be worth millions. Perhaps its an industrial sabotage effort to steal a RR Trent 800 engine for reverse engineering by some Asian wannabe competitors (maybe the ones making the most noise about the disappearance of the airplane).
5. Going to the really dark side now, we have a human chop shop. Yes, we have 239 people who are widely perceived to have been killed in an accident and presumed lost. We actually have 478 living human kidneys, 478 human livers, 478 human lungs, 239 human hearts and 239 pairs of eyes and corneas - yes human organ traffickers taking 239 unwilling victims for their body parts. In some cases human organs go for $100,000 each making such a hijacking worth nearly $2Billion.
Given the parts of the world (Asia), and the precision with which the perps disabled the planes systems to make it look like the plane disappeared while flying it off course over water and locations not well covered by radar to the Indian ocean, takes a very meticulously planned operation. They would still have to land on a island with low population, dispose of the plane, incapacitate 239 victims and have teams of harvesting doctors standing by.
What a novel that would make! or is it really happening???
