With all this hype now about the debris found off the coast of australia (and it may have even been disproved already), even though I know it's EXTREMELY unlikely and border-line impossible, but if they found a few survivors somehow managing... that'd be so boss.....

The combined map showing most informations, projections and evidence gathered so far...
MAP: The Possible MH370 Debris Sighting Fits The Former Pilot's Theory Of A Fire Or Smoke In The Cockpit | Business Insider
And the edited plot to put emphasis on the last six pings, from 03:11 all the way to the last ping at 08:11 on its Southern arc section...

The plane as the ping plot showed was on a straight line roughly heading south until it presumably ran out of fuel and crash somewhere within or in the vicinity of the search area in the South Indian Ocean/ the South Sea.

Airliners.net got it all figured out. You see MH370 was flown to a secret maintenance base in Australia to get a new business class configuration. The transponder was reprogrammed for new IFE options and that's why the plane is missing. Also I think the the new American paint job was a factor.

Assume for a minute:
1. A Hijacking / suicide mission was well planned / executed.
2. It was a test .
3. No claim of responsibility would be made.
4. The airplane should be difficult if not impossible to find.
5. The cause and methods used would be near impossible to detect.
6. If undetected, the cause and methods could be used again.
Think lethal chemical or gas release in the cabin while wearing a protective mask. Then fly to remote location (end of fuel).

If this was terrorism, our vaunted NSA would have picked up "chatter". No way it was terrorists and they clammed up for both planning and post event. We'd have heard something.
This is the era of the "selfie". No way would a 777 land somewhere in some 3rd world crap hole and no one take a selfie with the 777 in the background and post to Twatter or FB.

Few chemicals would incapacitate everyone without warning before O2 masks could be donned or radio calls could be made.
Also would be hard to smuggle sufficient quantities and delivery mechanism onboard. Gas is not a good assault weapon, it's more of a battlefield shaping tool.
Not impossible but way harder than most terrorist ops go in for. Also I seriously doubt they'd do a dry run and bring down a plane just to see if they could...that would draw way too much attention. Also it's a muslim, not western, plane. The usual bad guys have really moved away from collateral damage to their fellow muslims (due to popular backlash).

[QUOTE=LightAttack;1606892]So who brought the gas and masks onboard?
Bad guys
1. Administer Nerve Agent Antidote - probably disguised as Diabetes Medication.
then
2. Different passengers with a two OZ bottle of aftershave each mix together - incapacitating or deadly gas released at front of cabin and flows rearward toward outflow valve. Pilots may not be aware of what is going on. O2 is of no help once exposed.
Not everyone talks and chatters. That's why it took us so long to find OBL.

And yet, they do. We didn't get OBL earlier because we didn't have the balls to offend Pakistan.
Really? Nerve agent? YGTBSM. You need to get off the Lyndon Larouche mailing list.
Don't ask what is the most unlikely and never done before, ask what is the MOST likely and done in the past? Suicide by pilot? Done. Major systems failure resulting in crew incapacitation - not in the 777, but other aircraft - yes.
Everything else - too many variables for leakage of information and data.
