Missing Malaysian Plane Was Hijacked - Officials Reveal After 7 days of speculatio

After 7 days of speculation. Investigators
have concluded that one or more people
with significant flying experience hijacked
the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, switched
off communication devices and steered it
off-course.A Malaysian official told AP
that no motive has been established and
no demands have been made known, and
it is not yet clear where the plane was
taken.
However, the representative who spoke
on condition of anonymity, said that
hijacking was no longer just a theory: 'It is
conclusive'.
The Boeing 777's communication with the
ground was severed just under one hour
into a flight March 8 fromKuala Lumpur to
Beijing.
Malaysian officials have said radar data
suggests it may have turned back and
crossed over the Malaysian peninsula
after setting out on a northeastern path
toward the Chinese capital.
The Malaysian official said only a skilled
aviator could navigate the plane the way
it was flown after its last confirmed
location over the South China Sea, and
that it appeared to have been steered to
avoid radar detection. The plane had
enough fuel to fly for at least five hours
after its last know location, meaning a
vast swath of South and Southeast Asia
would be within its reach.
