It appears it went the opposite way it was supposed to and went down?

No it was on path.. look at the altitude and speed chart below map.

It climbed to 2,000 feet, descended 500 feet for some reason, then climbed up to 5,000.  They say it was gaining speed to around 400 MPH when they lost it on radar.  The pilot had requested to return to Jakarta.

It was a newer Boeing plane the article said, like August of last year new.  It had a technical difficulty on its previous flight, which they said had been fixed.

Interesting, the altitude gain stopped fairly quickly.It sort of looks like it took off from the water based on the pic.

The whole airline?

If you look at previous flights, most of them seem to veer to the right directly after takeoff.

With duct tape?

Plane wasn't even 3 months old.  And the model just came out last year.  It's Boeing's fastest selling airline in history with almost 4,700 ordered.  United and AA have them coming.  Very old and very new planes are the most dangerous.  Rest of the BBC article here.

...and then suddenly it returns, only it's full of passengers from MH370.

That'd be some twilight zone s###

It’s interesting. Indonesia is basically Malaysia, especially if you’re an American, and Malaysia had that one plane that disappeared. So this is now TWO Malaysian planes that mysteriously disappeared. 

Oh thanks for stealing my idea Fat Nick

 

[Rodrigo Duterte]

Except that this one didn't disappear.  There's wreckage.

...maybe these passengers come back on MH370.

Southwest has a ton on order. It's what they plan to fly to Hawaii and other carrib spots.
