(18,115 posts)How do we determine that it wasn't intentional, but turned into an accident? How do we determine whether it was intentional, but the emergence portion aborted?

(39,345 posts)When interest is lost it will be still criminal.. but after a while it will convert into accident because no one has spilled any beans of any type. This will allow the Malaysian Government to avoid being blamed for faulty procedures or safety of the aircraft.

I agree with your point though that the search could become prohibitively expensive.

(11,833 posts)while I think the plane will be found, there will be many unanswered questions as to what caused its disappearance.

(32,829 posts)Too many clues lead back to the region. A seismic event was recorded in that area on March 8 right after the jet lost contact. Even though both clues were later rescinded, China released photos of debris and there were huge oil slicks. The oil was supposedly tested. By whom? The same people who have led us into day 11 of a missing passenger jet? Also, an oil rig employee witnessed a plane burning in the sky in that area as well.
The thing that's thrown everything off is the so called satellite pings that supposedly occurred hours later. Well, it's time to find alternate explanations for that and go back to the basics. Maybe it was pinging from under water or maybe a severely damaged and burned plane was flying during those pings. Hell, maybe there were no pings from the jet! They need to scour the waters off Vietnam's coast. If it's truly not there, then I'm fully open to a more X-Files type explanation. I was open to the hijacking scenario, but at this point, it doesn't make sense.
