Now people on the island of Maldives are claiming they saw a white, low flying plane, with red stripes, flying over Maldives at a low altitude. If this is in fact Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, this could have been a path to take to plane to Pakistan. Here we are, 11 days later, and still no sign of Malaysia Airlines Flight ML370. If the people in the Maldives Islands did see ML370 flying overhead, it would explain the sharp westward turn of the plane. Most theories have the plane at the bottom of the Indian Ocean, but some others have wondered if the plane was taken to a remote location in Pakistan to be loaded with explosives and flown into Israeli airspace. What once seemed impossible is a little more believable.

While we all weigh up the possibility that the plane was spotted near the Maldives, we have put together a list of theories as to what has happened to the plane – from the plausible to the absurd.
Here is a summary of the eventualities.
• Hijack by pilot or crew
• Terrorism from pilot
• Terrorism from co-pilot
• Hijack by passenger
• Mechanical failure
• Fire in the cockpit
• Hypoxia
• ‘Cyber hijack’
• Attempted 9/11 style attack
• Diverted to Somalia
• Taliban conspiracy
