I live near an amazing private airport called Eagles Nest. It is the kind of place with runways to the door of your house. There are several very large privately owned jets there. Not to mention a small armada of privately owned ex military planes. It would be fairly easy to snatch someone there and steal a plane.
It is also not the only airport like it. Taking a plane of 250+ passengers just for the plane? Makes no sense. Now if it had hit a target on it's existing fuel load I would buy it.
Only the movies make it that complicated...

This is very intriguing and disturbing If true...
I still have a major problem with the hijacking theory.
How many hijackers would be needed to accomplish a takeover of 250 people?
Right now we only know of 2 suspicious people on that flight. Can 2 people keep track of 250? Does Malaysian airlines employ air Marshall's?
And as another poster brought up on the first page- what country in their right mind would allow this plane to land within their borders knowing full well the entire world is looking for this thing?
And if it was hijacked and landed in another country what the hell lies ahead for all of us? This will make the Ukraine situation look like kids playing in a sandbox...

So this was a CIA operation?
For what?
I'm wondering if anyone else on the passenger manifest is being investigated right now

And land on one in the middle of the night with no radar tracking?

It is ridiculous to me that - this early - they are ruling out these two Iranians traveling on stolen passports as possible hijackers or being associated with terrorism. Really?
