The fire theory makes sense in and of itself. The problem is whether it indeed fits the known facts. If NBC news is correct in their sources about the flight change being made 12 minutes prior to the co-pilot calmly signing off, it pretty much kills this theory dead in its tracks.

OTOH, if for sake of argument we assume the flight change was made after sign-off, then we have a plane with such a dreadful fire on-board such that there was not even time for crew or passengers to make any distress calls (recall they flew back over Malaysia where there were cell towers and radar) -- yet for some reason this engulfed plane (with either acrid smoke from a fire below or flames from above) is able to fly for another 4-5 hours, which we are being told it did.

However, if indeed the pilots or others hijacked the plane, unless there were a great many cohorts onboard to subdue the passengers, once again you would think we'd see evidence of distress, which again we do not. The bottom line is that any theory is only as good as the facts it is based on, and all this time later we are apparently still lacking a solid set of facts.
