There are a ton of conspiracy theories and the most recent Netflix doc gives flight to a ton more theories about MH370. This is what happens when a straightforward answer is not provided. People try to fill in the gaps using what they can to get an answer, regardless how crazy it is, whether it is out of curiosity, obsession or grief.

Personally, I stick with the "this was not an accident" side of the theory spectrum, with added skepticism about the official story. For several reasons:

The plane has not been found. ONLY lead that the plane crashed in the sea is that flaperon found in Reunion, which did have one matching ID to the missing plane. But even that whole thing was unclear; the official story went back and forth saying it was or wasn't the piece from the actual plane. I don't think anyone knows for sure even now. Also many of the parts found around those islands were not actually from MH370, including the famous "NO STEP" piece.

If the plane did crash in the Indian Ocean, why specifically in such a hostile, nearly impossible to access part of the ocean? Because someone calculated well ahead of time that this is where you crash a plane that you never want to be found. I'd say this is the most popular theory and one that I tend to agree with, but again, it's just a theory.

The plane travelled in the wrong direction, and many theories are consistent with this, including official statements. So why didn't anyone react when they saw a massive airliner suddenly deviate from its flight path? Its communication systems were switched off (which adds to the whole suspicion of possible sabotage or hijacking) but if the plane flew above the military base (which it supposedly did) then why not dispatch fighter jets to see what was happening with the plane? I think much of the journalist's theory in the documentary was really far-fetched, but she did raise this important point. If they knew about it, why did no one act on it? Or they did and this is a cover up? No one in the public knows for sure. This is probably the one theory that bothers me most, because there's a clear oversight here on behalf of the Malaysian government.

I did entertain the (rather silly, but fascinating) idea that maybe there was some tampering with the satellite data and that the plane did not crash, but land somewhere. For what purpose - who or what was so damn important on that plane for anyone to create such an elaborate heist? And in that case, where are the passengers? Were they assassinated? Imprisoned? This theory is by far the most out there, and honestly it would be the most shocking if it were remotely true.

Overall, I think MH370 crashing into the sea is probably the most likely case, for one nefarious reason or another, in which case we may never know, or those answers may take many years to surface.

Alien Abduction: This theory suggests that space aliens are behind the disappearance of the flight. It has been claimed that some passengers’ cellular phones were ringing when they were called and satellites shoed no mid-air explosion.

MH370 and MH17 were the same plane: This theory suggests that the plane that crashed in a field in Ukraine
was the lost MH370 flight and not flight MH17, which was scheduled to depart from Amsterdam and arrive in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia.

The plane was shot down: This theory suggests that the plane was accidently shot down by US-Thai joint strike
fighters in a military exercise in the South China Sea. This theory also claims that search and rescue efforts were deliberately sent in the wrong direction
as part of a cover up.

Asian Bermuda Triangle: This theory suggests that the area where MH370 vanished is on the exact opposite side of the globe to the Bermuda Triangle and the plane disappeared there.

The CIA is behind it: This theory was suggests that in this day and age there is no way that a plane can just disappear and the American CIA is covering something up that it does not want the public to know.

9/11 style hijacking mission: This theory suggests that Israeli agents planned to crash the Malaysia Airlines
plane into a building and then blame it on Iranian forces.

High-tech hijacking: This theory suggests that MH370 was the product of the world’s first cyber hijacking, accomplished by accessing the airplane’s flight computer and reprogramming the speed, altitude and direction of the plane.

Cracks in the plane: This theory suggests that slow decompression of the cabin left pilots and passengers
unconscious. Pilots would not have been able to put their oxygen masks on in time and passengers would not have
been able to detect any oxygen deprivation.

Microchip ‘Kinesis KL-02’ motive: Kinesis KL-02 is the world’s smallest microcontroller. Twenty tech employees
working for Freescale Semiconductor, the company that invented the microcontroller and is currently testing
it, were on board the flight. Drone technology using the microcontroller changed the course of the flight and left
it undetectable. The flight landed in Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. The motive was to prevent the technology
from falling in the hands of Iran because it would have become a nightmare for Israeli defense forces.

US Military Base: This theory suggests that MH370 landed at a US military base in Diego Garcia, which is located in the Indian Ocean.

Life Insurance Scam: This theory suggests that someone on board the flight bought a huge sum of life insurance and wants family to gain from it.

Pilot Suicide: This theory claims that the captain of the plane hijacked the plane on a suicide mission after his wife left him.

Less than a month before the plane vanished under uncannily similar circumstances, the captain apparently used an elaborate home-built flight simulator to practice flying over the remote southern Indian Ocean until he ran out of fuel.

The revelation, which Malaysian officials initially withheld, is the strongest evidence yet that the pilot made off with the plane in a premeditated act of mass-murder/suicide.


MH370’s presumed flight path is in yellow. The pilot's simulated suicide flight, recovered on hard drives made available to the FBI, is in red.

I've always been fascinated by this one. I particularly like the Diego Garcia theory. I don't really believe it, but if it were true then holy crap I feel bad for those people.

What if that base is like the bunker in the Secret Invasion show on Disney? The bodies are hooked up to machines and the lizard alien folk have taken on their forms and are living amongst us mwahahaha.

I think it crashed in the ocean. The ocean is a VERY big place. Now for the reason for the crash? I don't know

What makes this part of the ocean nearly inaccessible? The Kraken?

the Diego Garcia theory

I'm not inclined to believe in a conspiracy theory for this one (as a cause), but am fairly confident that we have enough worldwide monitoring capabilities to have known with relative certainty what actually happened.

In other words, we were probably able to go back and piece together exactly where it was after the fact, but don't want to let on that we have that specific capability.

Cliff notes next time please.
I fell asleep midway thru your 1st post when you got to: Plane travelled in wrong direction.
