I see nothing wrong with proposing that illegal actions caused the plane to vanish. Crimes happen all the time. Just 'cause it'd be a crime of greater significance does not make it less likely. Neither does calling it a conspiracy theory make it lose credibility. Conspiracies exist, and conspiracy theories sometimes are correct.
so don't be a dick about it tyvm
Read the statement again, the simplest answer is USUALLY the right one.
More importantly, no evidence has been presented to support the conspiracies other than a sense of paranoia and misinformation. Seriously, fly it to Iran without it getting detected? It would fly right over an area America is occupying. It's entirely possible that an alien civilization beamed the entire airplane away, or a black hole opened for a brief moment and swallowed the entire plane, but the odds are so minuscule that discussing the mere possibility of it having occurred is borderline ridiculous.
If we don't require at least SOME basis in at least logical thinking, then I might as well just flood the thread with theories of an army of molemen rising from the depths of the earth with their Mega Graviton Beam made entirely out of recycled floppy disks that have CIA cover up files on them and they used it to bring down a small meteorite to destroy the plane so they could salvage the parts of the plane to finish building mecha-Hitler and start the First Galactic Space war with their arch-rivals, the Intergalactic Federation of Goat People. After all, it's POSSIBLE, and it MAY be right, so we might as well waste our time discussing it.

I'm pointing out that conspiracy theories are dumb, and I posted one with "evidence", yet it's still a very dumb theory. I'm not saying it's what I believe, I'm just saying that at the very least pick theories that have at least SOME evidence to support it, rather than just paranoia.

A plane with passengers can not survive how ever long this has been going on for, with lack of food and stuff like that. I personally think that the plane was hijacked brought to a foreign country and held the passengers as captives. As you can tell about the U.S, we don't negoitate, so probally, they executed the passengers and I am most definate that this a big cover up. Just think about it, media is the only source and the media can TOTALLY flip the story, plus look at our government, so many secrets and lies. That is my view point on that, feel free to add to it or take away
There were two Americans on that plane. TWO. Would they execute over 50 Malaysians, and over 100 Chinese citizens because America refused to negotiate for TWO Americans? Plus, America is more than willing to negotiate, so long as the terms of the negotiation are not ridiculous. We do prisoner trade offs all the time. And dead captives have no value. Nobody executes hostages unless they believe a) the hostage is going to be rescued, or b) the demands aren't met. In the case of b) they execute a few to make a point and put pressure. Mass execution defeats the purpose of bartering. And if they DID execute all the passengers, this would give a perfect reason for America to declare war or give condemnation. Why would the American government not mention that this occurred if they suspect the passengers are dead? Why would they not instantly mention this to the entire international community? To support your conspiracy, you need to prop it up with an even more ridiculous one.
Do you realize how improbable and impractical your theory sounds when you bother to actually look at circumstance and use a minimal amount of common sense?
