   I understand you can't search every square inch of the ocean floor   
   where it could have ended up based on the amount of fuel available.  I   
   suspect such a brute-force search would be unlikely to give a result   
   in a reasonable timescale anyway, even if the countries concerned   
   could afford to finance them.   
      
   But I don't think that means everyone should just give up.  My   
   understanding is that this is the only time that an airliner has been   
   lost like this, and just letting it fade away would be wrong.

   We just don't know.  That's a big problem.  Another big problem is   
   there are a few unexplained things that raise questions: perhaps they   
   are conspiracy theories, but why would an airliner that deviated from   
   its flight plan not be investigated immediately?  It flew back over   
   the Malaysian penisula and was seen on military radar near Penang; it   
   didn't change course in mid ocean and stay outside radar coverage.   
      
   It could have been heading for the KLCC twin towers on a 9-11 type   
   mission for all anyone knew.  Why wasn't it intercepted?   
      
   The only firm evidence so far seems to have come from individuals who   
   have either stumbled across pieces of wreckage, or who have gone on   
   self-funded missions.
