And taking no. 1 doesn't change the fact that the laws of physics still apply. You can not believe anything the media or government says, and be so own minded your brain falls out. But that's not going to change how aircraft fly, or how far they can fly.
You talk about logic and reason, well no matter how you look at it, the aircraft can't fly out of Kuala Lumpur with enough fuel to get its full range. Unless of course it took off without passengers or cargo.
Now you're cooking with fire. I like that theory. No passengers, cargo, or crew! This was a test for a Boeing fully remote controlled flying "terrorist weapon". This was just a test with no target. MH370 was probably flown to Diego Garcia, broken up, loaded on a military cargo ship bound for Melbourne, so they could dump it in the Indian Ocean garbage gyre so it would never be found.
The next time Boeing aircraft disappear it will involve normal flights carrying passengers, will involve multiple aircraft (like 911, all Boeing aircraft) and it will be made possible using the Boeing Uninterruptible Auto Pilot. Boeing is a defense contractor it must be understood. It should be obvious by now that they are not telling the truth in so many ways and they are not going to retrieve any wreckage or black boxes. This was all a test to see how easily the media via the boob tube can lead people to believe something happened, which in fact didn't. It could be a complete fabrication. Let me take a guess as to what network broke the news, CNN? They are perfecting their propaganda mind control. People will believe anything that comes from the TV.
There is no logical explanation for all the changing accounts involved with this incident. That leaves only the unfathomable, not nice to believe but it's all that's left. The U.S., U.K., Malaysians, and Saudis are practicing for the next 911. Will it be in 2014?

You can't hack what you can't access. There is no external access to the FMS on a 777. Not without special connectors, and direct access to the system.edit on 4/13/2014 by Zaphod58 because: (no reason given)

On live aircraft, is it not possible for the ACARS system to talk to the FMS?

OK. So the FMC input is manual. That's what I have been trying to find. If the ACARS doesn't send data into the FMC then it can't affect it.
A question. In reference to the phrase 'programming a way point'. I thought those points exist in a system database. So does that phrase mean activating it as the next point to be flown to or adding to the current list in the flight plan? Or does it mean actually adding a completely new point into the system database.
Also, can a second flight path (maybe non standard route) be setup and saved, then executed by cancelling the original path?
For example: When the west Malaysia waypoint (maybe VAMPI) was said to be programmed before the lost of contact, did that mean it would cause the plane to fly to that point after reaching IGARI? (Next point in flight path?)
So it must have been flying higher and when it had passed the mountains, it descended to below 7000ft on its way to Langkawi. I really think the plan has been to try to land there as this aircraft had some kind of malfunction of which we are not aware.
