"They are never going to find it because they are looking in the wrong place. It didn't land, it went up and it is now in orbit. Eventually brighter minds will prevail and all will be understood." -XXXOliveOil via Amazon comments/question "What do you think happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370? "...
I agree but is that even possible for a plane to go upward into outer space? It is something I have always thought about.
As well as if the 9/11 hijackers/terrorists broke down those cockpit doors, if that could have happened here as well, maybe.

Airplanes can not go into orbit for several reasons. - No air for the wings to grab or the engines to burn. - Insufficient speed. Low orbit is 17,000 miles per hour, an airliner can go about 600. - Planes are pressurized because above 10,000 feet (they fly at 30,000) the air is too thin (and cold!) to breathe. But they are not designed to withstand hard vacuum, it would burst like rotten fruit. - The toilets wouldn't work. Hundreds of people and no toilet would cause a mutiny. - Look at the amount of fuel a space rocket requires. A plane couldn't carry enough fuel. Most of the rocket in the videos is a huge fuel tank, full of way more powerful fuel than what airliners burn. http://www.space.com/18422-apollo-saturn-v-moon-rocket-nasa-infographic.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzCsDVfPQqk

no...a plane does not have the capability to go into orbit.... at about 7.5 miles up the plane would cease to climb and possibly even plummit (it would recover). The plane hit the ground at some point... whether its on its wheels, bottom of the ocean or embeded in a mountain side is the only question
One possiblity to consider is that the plane was highjacked, hacked and the blackbox and tracers destroyed so that they could steal the plane for future attacks/plans. But most likely is that the plane no longer exists in one piece
The service ceiling on a B-777 is 43,000' But lightly loaded with fuel and passengers it could probably get up to 50,000' after which the engines won't be able to generate enough thrust and the wings won't be able to generate enough lift to maintain controlled flight My best guess as to it's fate is that the aircraft was hijacked and flown below the radar to an undisclosed location on the Indian Subcontinent
Even if you ignore the three thousand reasons why an airplane cannot go into orbit, we would have detected it by now. US Space Command (part of the air force) keeps track of thousands of objects larger than a few inches in orbit by radar, and would have noticed something as big as a commercial jet almost instantly. A Boeing 777 is larger than the International Space Station.
