The fate of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has disappeared from the news cycle, but Malaysian police have announced that the reconstruction of data from the pilot’s flight simulator suggests that he flew it into the southern Indian Ocean and may have landed it on a runway on a small island.

If this is true, then that plane is almost certainly in the hands of well financed terrorists and represents a peril of epic proportions. Given the range of a 777–especially on that has been stripped of its seats and fitted with an atomic weapon that would be much lighter than a load of passengers, luggage and cabin equipment–the plane could reach almost any American city from a runway in central Asia or Pakistan.

I remain extremely concerned that Flight 370 is not being found. I worry that the reason is that it isn’t in the Indian Ocean at all, and that the pings that are being heard there are due to some other factor, or even that they are being generated by bogus devices planted by a highly organized and capable terrorist group. And certainly, if such a group hijacked this flight, they are very, very capable.

Such capabilities could have been provided by support from within organizations like Pakistani Intelligence, or, in fact, from any intelligence organization or military that might be inclined to do something to really give the United States a beating.

I believe that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was either hijacked or experienced an extremely unusual mechanical problem of some kind. If it was hijacked, which is the more likely probability, then it wasn’t done to destroy the plane but to steal it.

The reason I say this is that the passengers were apparently intentionally killed, and there was no reason to do that if the plan was, for example, to fly the plane into a building in New Delhi or Mumbai.
