This plane was missing from Malaysian radar for 17 minutes. How then does Malaysia explain when the plane reentered Malaysian radar that their air traffic controllers either didn't ask the pilot of MH370 to identify or the ATC just assumed the plane was friendly and let it go at that? If so, boy howdy, what a way to run a govt. airline!
At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if it turns out Malaysian military shot 370 down, and then realized how hard this would be to explain to the Chinese govt., and fearing retaliation they obfuscated, stalled, edited, and perhaps lied until enough time had passed so that it looks like the plane went down where it's postulated it did.
Would the govts. of other countries back what the Malaysian govt. said or protect them in an effort to avoid a conflict between China and Malaysia that could escalate into any number of countries getting involved?
What is the real story? I'm not sure we've heard it yet!

The last communication MH370 had with Malaysian ATC was the sign off/hand off at 1:19am when MH370 was instructed to contact Ho Chi Minh ATC
Malaysia ATC did not know MH370 turned and re entered their airspace ,the Transponder and ACARS systems were turned off
Vietnam ATC informed Malaysia ATC at 1:38 that they lost contact with the plane..it was no longer showing on civilian radar
Military Radar did pick up a blip on their radar but they had not been informed MH370 was missing from civilian radar and did not deem this as hostile.
Lack of Communication between civilian and military departments...
