REMINDER - Some of you are not writing enough here. A single sentence isn't enough. I expect you to expand upon your writing. If you think you have written enough, you haven't, write more. Be sure to answer WHY you think something.

A. What do you think happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370? Please cite current information coming out about the situation. Make sure to back your theory with facts and explain why you think you are correct.
I think the plane must've been hijacked by someone on the flight. I want to believe that it crashed, but the fact that they have searched around where the plane went off their radar, it is difficult to judge. However, there is an unimaginable amount of ocean space in the area that the plane could be lost. I think it is highly likely that it crashed. I think if it had landed by now, someone would've found out and delivered the news and the public would instantly find out. Whoever hijacked the plane, knows the consequences of their actions so I am assuming they are planning on not being caught, which I am going to guess, means dying somehow, and that's where the plane crashing comes in. I believe it has crashed and is in the ocean somewhere.
