if it broke apart midair, it would leave a large debris field of a lot of buoyant objects. Possibly small and hard to see, though.

They think they've found a door and the tail section. I'd expect more debris in the same general location.

Just absolutely no way any atc doesn't notice every plane on his radar. They all have an airline code and flight number. It could be disastrous to not notice. Guaranteed 100 percent if it showed up on radar someone would see it AND try to contact it. And yes, every single flight has a flight plan and is tracked. You can't just land wherever you want whenever you want outside of a declared emergency and I think that would be made public immediately.
When flying over oceans airliners are not always under radar surveillance. Air traffic control is maintained by having the planes fly a predetermined "track" sort of an imaginary highway in the sky. Once out of range of ATC radar, the plane's crew will periodically update their position by radio to air traffic controllers and to any planes in their general area. Some airlines utilize a system where systems on the plane automatically send out what is basically a email with the plane's current position and other useful data, but this type of system is not mandatory. Over the U.S. is probably one of the few places where a plane is in radar contact from takeoff until the destination is reached.

Did they find some parts of the plane? I need some cliffs. tia

That cannot be true for it should lead to a massive debris field in the ocean or across land.
Could be spread over a huge area depending on wind and current.

This whole thing sounds like the "perfect" terrorist attack. I hope I'm wrong though

Have not seen this verified by MSM.
however, we are beginning a new day in the South China Sea area, so something may be found soon.

I'm thinking maybe a hijacking gone wrong.

Very true but so much is in doubt as it is and will be for months, if not years. It would obviously be a known terror attack if the plane had crashed into a high profile target.

I see one report they have seen a cabin door floating....

I think if it were a terror attack, you'd have a group claiming responsibility. But if it failed, maybe they don't want that kind of notoriety.
Could be a failed terror attack.

A dry run attempt?

I even posted a pic earlier of the floating door. Let me check.
An aircraft took pictures of the debris and they're headed to verify.

Early on I was thinking pilot suicide, like that Egyptian airways flight several years back. Both pilots on this plane have Hadji names.

Wonder if they took radiation readings

First thing that comes to mind is Ramzi Yousef's airline test bombing and bigger bombing plot.
quote:
On December 11, 1994, Yousef built another bomb, which had one tenth of the power that his final bombs were planned to have, in the lavatory of an aircraft. He left it inside the life jacket under his seat (26 K) and got off the plane when it arrived in Cebu. Yousef had boarded the flight under the assumed name of Arnaldo Forlani, using a false Italian passport. The aircraft was Philippine Airlines Flight 434 on a Manila to Narita route, stopping partway at Cebu. Yousef had set the timer for four hours after he got off the aircraft.
The bomb exploded while the aircraft was over Japan's Minamidaito Island, part of Okinawa Prefecture. A Japanese businessman named Haruki Ikegami occupying the seat was killed and an additional 10 passengers were injured. The flight was carrying 273 passengers in total. The blast blew a hole in the floor and the cabin's rapid expansion severed several control cables in the ceiling, cutting off control of the plane's right aileron, as well as both the pilot and first officer's steering controls. Usually, 26K, the seat that he chose to plant the bomb was positioned directly over the centre fuel tank, and the detonation of the bomb would have caused a crippling explosion, but on this particular "SAS" model, the seat was two rows forward from normal. The flight crew kept control of the Boeing 747-200 and brought it into an emergency landing at Okinawa's Naha Airport. Satisfied with the deadly results of the attack, Yousef then planned which flights to attack for "Phase II" of the plot.
