The Malaysian military are now saying the plane did a turn back and that they tracked it flying low over Malaysia and into the Malacca Strait. They then lost contact with it. I wonder why they sat on this info while 10 nations were conducting a very expensive search in the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea?
Could they have been hijacked? The mystery deepens.
What's going to be the real hollywood twist in this story is when they find the plane intact at the end of a dirt runway in the middle of the Sumatra jungle, and no one is aboard.

Also 2 Passengers may have been carrying stolen passports

Two names on the passenger manifest of the plane, Malaysia Flight 370, matched passports reported stolen in Thailand, one from an Italian man and the other from an Austrian man, according to foreign governments and NBC News sources. The news, hours after the jet disappeared over the South China Sea with 239 people on board, significantly changed how U.S. officials looked at the disaster. The officials said they were checking into passenger manifests and going back through intelligence.

Hmmm ... I was wondering how much of a part they would end up playing in all of this.

There is more confusion associated with this tragedy than with any other air mishap I've ever heard about. It must be absolute torture for the loved ones of the missing.

I may be wrong, but Malaysia didn't release info on the off-course flight until later. So China may not have been completely clear on what they were looking at. Fwiw.

If you look at it from a Western cultural standpoint yes. If you look at it from an Asian point of view the focus is in passing on the blame and not shaming the company/nation, they care very little about individual life and liberty.

Anyone else find it interesting that 20 of the passengers are employed by a company designing and manufacturing cutting edge electronic weaponry for the Department of Defense. Such weaponry includes those making it possible for planes and tanks to disappear.
One of these employees gave his wedding ring and watch to his wife before boarding the plane, said to give it the items to his two sons if something were to happen.
And 19 families have signed a joint statement claiming they have gotten rings and connections when they dial their missing relatives phones.

Foul play wouldn't surprise me.
Btw do you have a link?

Everybody is trying to figure this out, why is this information not relevant.
20 of the passengers worked for a defense contractor that specialized in weaponry to make planes disappear. I think that's highly relevant.
And one of them gave his wife his wedding ring before boarding the plane.
That seems like it should be very relevant.

Early reporting on these tragedies gets almost very thorn wrong. So I'll wait until it gets sorted out a bit. And the guy's wedding ring doesn't mean a hill of beans, by itself. There's 239 stories of people's lives for that tragedy, and they're all in very different places. Without more information, it could just mean he was done with his marriage.

Was he done keeping track of time too?
He also gave his watch to her and told her to give both to his two sons if something should happen.
That's odd behavior.

Absent context, it's not.

What he did was odd, that's not debatable.
The overwhelming majority of people that fly do not give things like wedding rings and watches to their family to keep in case something goes wrong.
It may have no connection to this, but it's definitely strange behavior.

Were the employees on the plane working on a defense project?
Bean counters. You're going to need a better conspiracy theory. Freescale isn't just a defense contractor. You'd probably be hard pressed to find a billion dollar company that didn't provide the government goods or services.
