You have to always consider alien abduction a possibility.
Or...

How is that "most likely"? To me, who has done exactly no research into this whatsoever and has barely followed the news, that actually seems like "most unlikely" unless you count alien abduction.

Seems most likely to me given the limited info we know. We know where the plane was when it dropped off radar. We know there was no may-day call, so it almost definitely was not a controlled crash that would leave the plane intact and no real debris field. We know that we haven't been able to find the homing beacon from the black box in the area despite days of searching. Either the plane came apart in a big way at that location, which should have spread floating debris over a wide area that we would have found by now, or the plane simply didn't go down in the water and was flown somewhere else. Between those two options, given the amount of resources that are looking for said debris, option #2 seems more likely as each hour passes without any debris found.
12.07 Malaysia’s Berita Harian newspaper quoted air force chief Rodzali Daud as saying the missing plane was last detected by military radar at 2:40 a.m. on Saturday, near the island of Pulau Perak at the northern end of the Strait of Malacca.
The time given by Rodzali was an hour and 10 minutes after the plane vanished from air traffic control screens over Igari waypoint, midway between Malaysia and Vietnam.
11.07 "It changed course after Kota Bharu and took a lower altitude. It made it into the Malacca Strait," the military official, who has been briefed on investigations, told Reuters.
I mean, I'm not a physicist or whatever, but it seems way more likely to me something catastrophic happened to the plane, which crashed in the ocean, which is goddamn HUGE and they simply haven't located any wreckage yet. How is that not the most likely scenario? The idea that someone successfully hijacked a plane, flew it somewhere, landed it, and is....I don't know at that point, holding everyone for ransom? Medical testing? Sounds like the plot to Die Hard 7 or whatever number they're on.
This far from the Bermuda Triangle though? HOGWASH. Aliens ain't got time to be abducting planes from that far away.
between MH370, the hot hand, and the shroud of turin, some WACKY STUFF has been going on lately
If the plane was abducted and flown below radar coverage, someone would have gotten a cell phone call off once cell service was readily available. I don't buy that.
Not if the plane was hijacked and cell phones were confiscated. Been done before. Plus I doubt the Malacca Strait has great cell coverage, even at 5,000 feet.
If I'm aware that the plane is getting hijacked I'd hide my phone in the seat. The can't search everything and they'll eventually hit service.
