Question #1: Who would want to hijack a plane full of Chinese passengers? Question #2: Given the answer to #1, where could people like that land a plane? Question #3: Isn't Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region about the same distance from the point of disappearance as Beijing, the flight's original destination? Question #4: If the pilot wanted to avoid detection, what better flight path than north through the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh, the Tibetan plateau and the Himalayas at night? Question #5: With the rampant speculation about this incident, and every kind of wild idea, why haven't we heard this wild idea anywhere?

Yep just fly over the completely unsecured China/India border, the perfect crime.

  "We have many radar systems operating in this area, but nothing was picked up," Rear Admiral Sudhir Pillai, chief of staff of India's Andamans and Nicobar Command, told Reuters. "It's possible that the military radars were switched off as we operate on an 'as required' basis." Separately, a defense source said that India did not keep its radar facilities operational at all times because of cost. Asked what the reason was, the source said: "Too expensive."
