Lost

I don't think JJ Abrams could have written a better script surrounding the mystery of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH 370.  I mean, this disappearance and the conspiracy theories abounding are right out of Lost. A TV script writer could barely have made this up:

Scenarios abound. Did the plane disintegrate at 35,000 feet from a mechanical failure and sudden decompression? Did the pilot commit suicide by flying it straight down into the sea? Did terrorists blow it up? Did a passenger plant a bomb so that his family would collect life insurance? Was the plane shot down by a jumpy military? Could it have crash-landed in a jungle somewhere, where the passengers are now fighting to survive?

From a long list of possibilities that range from the unlikely to the extremely far-fetched, the truth about what happened to Flight MH370 will probably emerge eventually. For now, it’s the mystery of the year — and a source of immense anguish for the families of the missing passengers and crew.

I think there was even a theory that a meteor could have it. A part of me thinks that someone, some government entity, does know what happened. How could it not, in this age of surveillance? It's better than a mystery, or a terrorist conspiracy. Or incompetence or a suicide mission. And I cannot imagine the uncertainties of the families. You must be clinging to hope, a tiny sliver, that the passengers are stranded on some very, very remote island, ala Lost.
