The disappearance of a Malaysian is now being called an act of piracy. I guess this is the new fancy word for hijacking, terrorism or foul play. The act of piracy theory about MH370 is being considered because evidence suggests the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 plane was diverted by a skilled pilot before it vanished. This means, it was either pilot suicide, or a hijacking.

Investigators trying to piece together what happened to the Malaysia Airlines jetliner carrying 239 people are increasingly certain that someone with aviation skills was controlling the plane when it began purposely flying hundreds of miles off course Saturday.
A Malaysian government official involved in the mysterious case said only a skilled person could navigate the Boeing 777 the way it was flown after its last confirmed location over the South China Sea, the Associated Press reported.
The official declined to be identified because he is not authorized to brief the media.
A U.S. official said Friday that investigators are also looking at the possibility that the jet’s disappearance was “an act of piracy.”
