Need a cell tower somewhere. Unless you have a satellite phone. My guess is internet, if they had it was turned off with the planes electronic communications.

I'll just guess here because I don't know. But I believe that if you have a commercial air liner and within an hour of take off all communications ceases, that somewhere a flag went up and they started to ask, "hey there your ACARS is out. Do you need held? We can't track you now." Pretty sure that is how it would go. I can't believe at that point they weren't trying to contact the plane. I don't think they just fly around. In fact if they go off course they are supposed to have permission so even if they just went off course someone was trying to contact the plane. And I'm pretty sure that a commercial airliner that no one can get a hold of would have a lot of bells going off.

It is a mystery, but my guess is we know where it is. I can't imagine we don't have eyes on everything in the air anywhere in the world at any moment.

There is a reason that information is not being communicated and it may simply be that we don't want anyone to know we have the technology. It may simply be everyone is alive and we are aren't going to go on CNN and say, "Hey there Mr. Kidnapper/HiJacker, we know where you are and we'll be there in just a little while. Keep everyone alive until we get there"

None of this adds up and I hope it ends with a lot of people alive with a scary story to tell.

Also lets simply assume there could simply have been one person of interest on the plane. Not a plane load of people for kidnapping but one person with money or information of something of value that made this the easiest way to kidnap that person.

But it's a mystery and with these details there is at least a little hope.
