Kato, are you talking about the disappearance of the Malaysian airline flight 370?

(kato3.gif)
Yes of course, what else?
But it disappeared on May 8, 2014, didn't it?
Yes, it did.
How come you're talking about it now?
Well... At Vancouver Public Library, I borrowed and viewed a DVD about the incident on the New Year's eve.

I see... but why on the New Year's eve?

... simply because I wanted to know what really happened before the year ended.
It has something to do with those terrorists, hasn't it?
What makes you think so, Diane?
I watched the following news:

You see, Kato. Eleven suspected terrorists were arrested in connection with the MH370 disappearance.

I know... I know... Some people believe that the terrosists hijacked the plane, but so far there are no direct evidences and links to the MH370 disappearance.
Then who hijacked the plane?
Some say there was a conspiracy.
What kind of conspiracy?
There is a famous video made by the "Anonymous":
<iframe width="500" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IdTTxBXA64c?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

A patent (#8671381) was approved days after the disappearance of the MH370, and the right to the patent was split five ways – 20% to Freescale Semiconductor and 20% each to four employees, all of whom were passengers on the plane. The patent deals with fabrication of integrated circuits on a semiconductor wafer. The above spokesman claims that Rothchild owns the plane and, as a shareholder, he also owns Freescale Semiconductor in part.

So what?
Somebody tried to kill those patent owners on board so that the patent shares go to Freescale. However, the urban myth website snopes.com suggests that there is no evidence that the four inventors listed on the patent application were on the MH370 passenger list, nor that they were entitled to a 20% share of the patent, and it says it is unlikely that their share would revert to Freescale on their death.
So, Kato, there is no Rothchild conspiracy, huh?
But there is another conspiracy theory. Retired Delta Air Lines Captain Field McConnell claimed that the aircraft was seized to obtain stealth knowledge of classified patents from 22 Chinese employees of Austin-based Freescale. McConnell also claimed that the company has developed a classified technology that uses paint and electronics to enable traditional aircraft to be overhauled into stealthy jets.
I see... but to obtain stealth knowledge of classified patents, the aircraft should remain in perfect shape, shouldn't it?
Yes, it should.
Unfortunately, in July 2015 the authorities reported that the aircraft crashed in the Indian Ocean, didn't they?
You're right, Diane. The plane debris was found on a beach in Saint-André, on Réunion, an island in the western Indian Ocean, about 4,000 km west of the underwater search area. The object had a stenciled internal marking "657 BB," consistent with the code for a portion of a right wing flaperon (a trailing edge control surface) from MH370. The following day, a damaged suitcase was found which may be associated with Flight 370.
So what actually happened?
That's the reason I watched the DVD. I've found the same YouTube video clip so that you can view it here:

The aircraft's final automated position report and last transmission, using ACARS protocol, was sent at 1:07 AM Malaysian time, wasn't it?

Yes, It was.
ACARS
automatic communications
addressing and reporting sysytem

(acars01.jpg)
In aviation, ACARS is a digital datalink system for transmission of short messages between aircraft and ground stations via airband radio or satellite.
The protocol was designed by ARINC and deployed in 1978, using the Telex format.
More ACARS radio stations were added subsequently by SITA.
ACARS as a term refers to the complete air and ground system, consisting of equipment on board, equipment on the ground, and a service provider.
On-board ACARS equipment consists of end systems with a router, which routes messages through the air-ground subnetwork.
Ground equipment is made up of a network of radio transceivers managed by a central site computer called AFEPS (Arinc Front End Processor System), which handles and routes messages.
Generally, ground ACARS units are either government agencies such as the Federal Aviation Administration, an airline operations headquarters, or, for small airlines or general aviation, a third-party subscription service.
Usually government agencies are responsible for clearances, while airline operations handle gate assignments, maintenance, and passenger needs.
The ACARS equipment on the aircraft is linked to that on the ground by the datalink service provider.
Because the ACARS network is modeled after the point-to-point telex network, all messages come to a central processing location to be routed.
ARINC and SITA are the two primary service providers, with smaller operations from others in some areas. Some areas have multiple service providers.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The final verbal contact with air traffic control occurred at 1:19 AM, when Captain Shah acknowledged a send-off by Lumpur Radar to the air control tower of Ho Chi Minh City.

The crew was expected to contact air traffic control in Ho Chi Minh City as the aircraft passed into Vietnamese airspace, right?
Yes, Diane, you're telling me.
But the crew didn't contact, did they?
No, they didn't. But the captain of another aircraft attempted to reach the crew of Flight 370 just after 1:30 AM using the international distress frequency to relay Vietnamese air traffic control's request for the crew to contact them.
What happened then?
The captain said he was able to establish contact, but only heard "mumbling" and static. Calls made to Flight 370's cockpit at 2:39 and 7:13 were unanswered but acknowledged by the aircraft's satellite data unit.
I gather the crew intentionally cut the communication.
Diane, are you saying that the crew might have hijacked the plane by themselve?
It's a possibility, isn't it? Besides, I came across the following passage when I was googling on the Net:
