Came across an interesting youtube video but could be just a conspiracy nut.

Ignore this video, the guy is an idiot. The start of the video shows aircraft 9M-MRO, but later it shows 9M-MRQ. They're both 777s!

There are so many things that could have happened, that until they start coming up with some wreckage, no one will really know.
They are searching in a massive area, its like trying to find a Mini car in England, without any help as to where it may be.
Possible Options:
1. In air break up, in area not yet explored. Expect wreckage to start appear on beaches etc after 5 to 7 days +.
2. Hijack and landed somewhere. Possible, in that the transponder can be turned off, and radar in that area isn't as sensitive as land / populated areas.
3. Water landing, complete, like what happened on the Hudson River a few years ago. The plane would sink, in tact. There would be little or no debris, and if passengers did escape, they would be tiny specs, and would need a rescue craft to fly virtually directly overhead to be seen.
4. A TV company is starting a new show 'Lost: With real people' on some pacific island.
I'm sure in a week or two, we'll start to know a bit more.

Would a water landing be likely to have killed everyone on board instantly? If not, would one of them not have been able to get a phone signal, or would the plane not have been able to broadcast a request for help / its location?
The plane being hijacked and landed somewhere seems like a nutty conspiracy story. If that was the case someone would have claimed the credit anyway, though I doubt it was ever realistic from a practical point of view.
I think I'm going with technical failure, crash, & we just haven't found the wreckage so far. I think the fake passport travellers will end up being a false lead and all will turn out to be economic asylum seekers rather than terrorists.

Looks like it's had a massive de compression and the pilot has quickly changed course instead of putting his mask on if able and passed out. Poor passengers would have had masks on all the way down. Very sad.
Unless you believe the man who saw it flying low, so someone would have to have jammed not only the black boxes but the passengers mobiles and then god knows.
Decompression one sounds the most plausible but what about the black boxes?

Apparently China may have found it

If it was a decompression problem in the cabin the only direction the pilot would be heading is down to around 10k ft. I would say for something like this to happen something has broken off, may be down to poor maintenance but i doubt it, likely cause would be severe turbulence.
hydraulics could also be the cause.
Another option is terrorist, more likely than the above i would say but then you have to ask yourself why would they do it over the sea, why not wait till they are above a populate area where they would cause far more damage and death.
Until they find the plane its just pure speculation.
If the plane did nose dive down, the passengers wouldn't have been awake at the point of impact, the G's would have put them to sleep a long time before but they would still have had a few terrifying moments. RIP to all on board!

I remember the payne stewart golfer crash 10+ yrs ago when there was explosive decompression in the cabin. The plane flew on for hours until the fuel ran out. If it happened here just as they were swapping over air traffic control then the missing transponder code may fit. Plane could be anywhere!
TG Joshua in July 2013 warning people about a plane crash yet to happen in an Asian country (from 2:29).

Initially the skeptic in me wondered if, after the machete terrorist incident in China recently, it wasn't the Chinese government who had some involvement and were using it as an excuse to move into the Xinhua(?) region and clear out the Muslims there. Or it could have genuinely been terrorists from there.
Realistically though, it's very strange... I don't really understand how an airline in this day and age can completely lose something as large as a 777. Feel for the families of those involved, hopefully they turn up alive and well
