The nightmare scenario of Malaysia flight 370

I haven't seen it yet, at least not in so many words, so I'm not going to say it in so many words, but the innuendo is there and I'll lay it out, horrible though it may sound.
1) You have someone who has some bizarre agenda (this is assuming the flight isn't safely in some terrorist country now being fitted out to carry a bomb, or a big, surprise 'we're ok, just wanted to make sure you care').  This agenda included a willingness to kill everyone on board.
2) This person knew how long oxygen would flow in the cockpit and how long it would last for the passengers (maybe 15 minutes).  This person likely knew how to cause a decompression event and the plane spent a lot of time at altitude before dropping.  Yes the drop could have been to get below radar, or it could have been below 10,000 feet (5000 is the safe altitude at night) where atmospheric oxygen can be used.
3)  One has to look at the news of the rise to near operating limits in terms of someone who wants to make sure that a concerted effort to take the cockpit (or even survive decompression) would be thwarted.
4) There were not phone or text messages and the plane was able to crash land in the ocean, apparently a fairly soft landing since there was no debris and no one opened the door to get out, apparently.  At least that's one explanation for the lack of debris field.
It's all too gruesome to imagine really, but it's sort of laid out indirectly in the news.
Anyway, some things are better left unsaid (if not unwritten or un-thought) and I'm still wondering if the big surprise thing won't come up.
One last thing is the "late signals" that only lasted a day or two.  The search is based on satellite data but the concentration of searching is based on something that any number of ships could have dropped overboard for any number of reasons.  Doesn't really line up and it doesn't really make a lot of difference and certainly nothing about this makes any sense.
Too much speculation, perhaps.
