An interesting bit of science \ sleuthing

How Inmarsat used it's satellite data to find the missing Malaysian Flight 370.

An fascinating read.

On a more speculative, National Inquirer type level, this Chinese language article says that the captain of the lost flight, who was deeply involved in Malaysian politics, was attempting to hold the passengers hostage to secure the release of a local political figure, whose trial he had left just before getting into the plane.

When negotiations broke down, he flew the plane off into the ocean.

Crazy, but in the absence of any other solid explanation, something to consider at the very least.  Stranger things have happened, and this is indeed a strange thing.
