that's unhelpful and baseless speculation
additionally:
The United States extensively reviewed imagery taken by American spy satellites for evidence of a mid-air explosion, but saw none at all, an authoritative U.S. government source said. The source described U.S. satellite coverage of the region as thorough.

IF US had satellite coverage surely they could track the plane when it went missing, no ??

Seems like kind of a dead end at this point until some new information of type of wreckage is found.

Even IF we had the capability to monitor every single commercial airplane in a region like that to that level of detail, we wouldn't tell people if we did.

So has anything like this ever happened in the history of modern aviation? A plane just completely disappearing without any form of contact is paranormal level of weird.

as mentioned before, Air France was lost over the Atlantic and it took years to find the plane and figure out what happened

There was that Air France plane that disappeared over the Atlantic some years ago. They found the tail markings quite some time later IIRC.
EDIT: I got wrecked by itsjustatank it seems.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you will know what happened soon.

The ocean is vast and its difficult to find sinking objects. Not very surprising once a plane explodes above or crash into the sea. Most recent example is the air France accident in 2009.

That's an unfair statement right there. Everything is speculation until we know what happened. Speculation in general is pretty unhelpful, and his post didn't have the tone of a troll. As far as baseless, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airliner_shootdown_incidents.
I for one enjoyed reading his post more than I did the 10th post that speculated upon the stolen passport/terrorist angle in this thread.
EDIT: also, if you google "plane shot down by missile" the first three results are about flight MH370.

Nothing just goes disappeared unless you believe in aliens.
Now it's time for all of us to wake up. Terrorists can blow up a plane but they don't have the ability or wouldn't care to hide the debris.
Hence, it should be a deliberate plot supported by some big organizations. Now I wouldn't be surprised that it may be some war/assassination without smoke, among America (CIA etc) / Malasia or even China. You shouldn't underestimate those politicians' brutality.
In the meantime, there are many known chinese artists on that plane, relatives to some officials in China.
I think some unknown high technology weapons have been used so all evidence is also destroyed.
America/ Malaisia / China, 1 or 2 of them may know the truth, which will just never be told to the public. But they have to play along with this "mysterious" show.
If my speculation is right, this incident will never have a determined explanation to the public.

And if it isn't, you'll make up a new bogus reason as to how our governments made us believe it was just an ordinary crash when it clearly was a high tech weapon shooting lasers from space to kill chinese artists. Right?

i know exactly what high tech weapon was used.

This post reminds me that I was involved in a (non-fatal) on-the-ground plane incident the first time I ever got on a plane. I was 6 years old. We just sat there not moving for 40 minutes, then a bunch of firetrucks started showing up all around us. Turns out the tail caught on fire. No one was even slightly injured so I guess it wasn't a huge deal.
The second flight I ever got on I was 7 and flying by myself to visit my grandparents. I mentioned the above incident to one of the flight attendants and she laughed at me and told me there was no way that was true. However, I remember distinctly to this day two things about that first flight: 1) my dad was irate that they first put out the fire, then evacuated us from the plane, instead of the other way around, and 2) I was irate, because I had to jump off the wing, whereas my cousins at the front and back of the plane got to go down the slides.

According to the french newspaper site Le Figaro, it has been reported that some of the cell phones belonging to Chinese people who were in the plane are still ringing.
The plane may have been stolen, and all the people taken hostage.

Sum up of the article : + Show Spoiler + Selon le Washington Post, plusieurs numéros de téléphone des passagers présents à bord du Boeing continueraient de sonner, assurent des proches qui ont tenté de les joindre. La logique voudrait qu'ils soient hors service, s'ils sont immergés, ou que l'avion s'est désintégré. Le site China.org indique ainsi que 19 familles ont signé un communiqué commun attestant que plusieurs numéros de téléphones sont toujours actifs. Ces proches ont tenté de contacter les autorités pour qu'elles traquent ces téléphones et qu'elles retrouvent la trace de l'avion. Mais elles n'ont pour l'instant pas reçu de réponse.
