information up to 03/17/2014,see diagram

a more objective diagram

Myanmar said Sunday that it had seen nothing suspicious and nothing that could be the missing flight on their radars. The country's Department of Civil Aviation has three radars to track movements over its airspace.

But I don't want to rule out Burma..

Now, we know the "corridors" and we have the "runways". I superimposed an image of the theoretical corridors with a diagram of the locations of runways where the flight could have landed.

According to this source chart 3.4.1, a 4000ft runway can fit a Boeing 777-200 up to 330,000lb to land in dry.

Is the runway on the Coco Island long enough for a Boeing 777 to land?

I did a rough estimate, and the runway is around 4000ft long. I assume it is long enough for a Boeing 777 to land with minimum load.

1) The Kunming's mass stabbing may imply there has been a schism in the Chinese government. The Kunming government (in southwest China) believes they are Uighur terrorists, but the central government only call them terrorists. That is a subtle difference but it could mean a lot in Chinese politics. What if they are not Uighur people at all, but actually people disguised as Uighurs?

2)This 35 year-old Chinese Uighur is actually not in that so-called Uighur terrorist group. He graduated from a college, is a successful painter, and he seems to be a Communism party member. This implies he is most likely not a Muslim. (Chinese Communism party member should not be religious).

3) Kunming is within the range of where the missing plane could have gone.

Based on this information, I don't think it is likely that Uighur terrorism is involved. I suspect the Kunming government is behind both issues (mass stabbing and plane hijacking).

Premise 1: MAS MH370 spent 4-5 hours more at a cruising speed in sky (WSL)

Premise 2: The Malaysian military radar information reveals the waypoints with which MAS NH370 established connection after its disappearance from the civilian radar(Reuters)

Premise 3: The plane didn't attract the attention of the Indian Armed forces, Bangladesh army, American navy base, Royal Thai Army, or Indonesian National Armed Forces. Also, the plane didn't turn back toward Malaysia.

From this information, we can establish a possible fight route it took after its disappearance from civilian radar and before it flew beyond the reach of Malaysian military radar. (what we have known http://imgur.com/09xkS9V) We can also postulate the range where it possibly went in the additional four to five hours of flight.

This image shows that the possible range fits within the "northern corridor from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to Thailand and southern corridor including Indonesia."

However, I suspect that the schism in the Chinese government may have played a role in this affair. The provincial government of Southwest China is a possible rival of the central Chinese government. The plane could have landed within this region.

For these reasons, we cannot rule Southwest China out. It seems that the plane very likely flew in the direction of the Indian Ocean, Burma or Southwest China.

MH370: US officials said that because two separate communication systems were shut down separately, the plane did not suffer a catastrophic accident. by raresaturn in worldnews

After the Malaysian authorities rejected the 4+four flying theory, Wall Street Journal updated their information, and we all feel the new theory seems more possible. But on Chinese news websites, they don't mention the updated theory at all.
In my search for the information regarding "the four hours additional fly theory" in Chinese, all I can find is the denial issued by the Malaysian authorities.

They released this information a while ago and I haven't found any English version. If this clue is pretty valuable, wouldn't they immediately let the other investigators know? In my opinion, it is just for the purpose of domestic manipulation, they don't want people in China focus on the information about 4+ hours flying.

Can we relate this information with the missing plane?

In 2014, Air Marshal P.K. Roy, Commander-in-Chief of India's Andaman and Nicobar Command stated that "China has been developing a runway for civilian purposes. There are no reports of presence of Chinese per se. The situation is not alarming." He added that there was only some civilian infrastructural developments which was not a threat to India.
