Sorry. My goof. This was a Malaysian airliner. Meant to correct this earlier.

Hearing about this the last few days has been kind of crazy with all the speculation. They've figured out one of the two stolen passports users was an Iranian teenager who was seeking asylum. Should be interesting to see how the rest develops.
On a side note, they're talking about how it went off radar at 35,000 feet and all the trouble they're having finding debris. I was kind of wondering why these aircraft don't have GPS locators or something? Black boxes tell the story but you'd figure they would have these as a good means for a last location.

Rolls Royce Engines
Radio show this morning mentioned that the current Rolls Royce engines in the 777 transmit data back to RR, for technical purposes. RR spokes person stated they had received no operational alerts, or anything related to engine health monitoring data.
With it going off radar at 35000 feet and no alerts being transmitted, sounds like all forms of communications stopped. The RR engines and data transmissions have their own power supply and transmission capapbilities.

The has to be some sort of explanation for the disappearance one of the worlds largest commercial airlines. I'm not sure what that explanation IS; but the answer is out there

If you're interested in a high degree of detail, the FlyerTalk forum / MH370 thread is the place for you.
They're up to 154 pages and over 2300 posts, so there's a lot of tin foil to step over. Did the plane turn back, bungled official response, stolen passports, radar coverage, RR engines, why some passenger cell phones ringing, plane is on the ground in China, etc etc....it's all there. 
There were a lot of early Saturday (Asia time) tweets that the plane was on the ground in Nanning, China. I still find this rumor most intriguing. If the tweets/Facebook posts were fake, why Nanning? It's not coastal or anywhere near the KL/Beijing flight path. Supposedly civilians in Nanning posted to social media Sat morning that the plane had safely landed. Those reports quickly dried up, but those people might have been shut up and the plane moved/hid.
And there is the mystery of the passengers' ringing cell phones. Some of them were still ringing out long after the accident and showing up on the Chinese QQ messaging network. Doesn't seem possible if the phones were underwater or in Vietnam/Thailand/Malaysia cell space. So this is also feeding the rumor the plane is in China.
Sad for the families....whatever the real answer is.

The cell phones still ringing does not mean anything. There are networks that would allow them to still ring even if the phone is destroyed. This is because the subscribers account is still active at the server substation. It does not really mean the phone is complete or not. The QQ messaging network also means nothing. Because if they were signed on when something happened to the phones, the servers could still keep the account active until some other change or the servers time out the connection.
Sadly, neither really shows anything. To those whom lost is really what is important now. I understand their desperation and confusion with the things that seem impossible in times of total emotional chaos. However, in the case of the phones and computer servers there is a reasonable explanation.

The five people manifested but didn't actually get on the plane. Thats also common, especially for international flights. People back out, have to cancel last minute, don't understand the language and miss announcements.....etc.

To much publicity on the Bermuda Triangle. Ancient aliens are setting up shop in the pacific now.

...the passengers of flight 370 may well be on a deserted tropical island, wondering what the fuck the "smoke monster" is all about!
