It has seen the ground or the oceans somewhere, you can bet on that.

Additionally I was able to verify there are ADS-B stations in Vietnam and they picked up the reception of the flight as it came across without interruption. Now, if someone was able to disable all transponders and flight tracking systems, then it is possible it would disappear to flight tracking systems, but would still be visible as a blip on military radar.
Even so, it would have had to land somewhere by now.

The world and the oceans are a big place.
Indeed, it is.

Your comment reminds me of a tee shirt I observed several years ago while doing a job in Ft. Bragg, NC: home of the 82nd Airborne and SOF. The shirt stated, "The earth is covered with 75% water, the rest is DROP ZONE".
ATW! :patriot:
