Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

so if there is nothing in the ocean, no pings from the black boxes could it have landed on land after all?

But why would anyone want the plane or be hiding it? If the plane was wanted for terrorist purposes surely it would have been used by now?

There's a film on the way based on the missing Malaysian airliner. Called The Vanishing Act it's due to be released in September.

It may be simple altruism but there's definitely a film to be had out of this.

Told you

If they make a film they can use as much artistic license as they like as it seems no one has a clue to what happened.

Sorry, but isn't a film about this incredibly bad taste? I mean the families of these missing people are going through hell and it seems wrong that someone's making an earner of it.

I'm afraid bad taste sells. I can still remember all those cheap films they made after 9/11 I guess there must be an audience for them.

There's a book out too. Perhaps the first of many? It suggests that the missing plane may have been shot down accidentally by a USA-Thailand joint fighter squadron. Author Nigel Cawthorne says it happened in the South China Sea and the search in the southern Indian Ocean was irrelevant and part of a cover up. To back up his claims, he refers to an oil rig worker who said he saw a plane on fire and falling from the sky near where a military exercise was being carried out.

I can see a problem though. What happens if the plane is found before the film comes out - won't that completely ruin the film?
