Two flights having onboard fires at that exact time is even odder, perhaps... but is it any odder than the only two Boeing 777s lost in normal cruise flight both being 777-200ERs made within a few line numbers of each other and belonging to Malaysian Air Lines, a few months apart? That coincidence has made a lot of people ask whether MH370 and MH17 are in some way linked.
I think if I had to put money on it, I'd go for the pilot-hijack theory too I think - but I'm not sure.
I'm not even sure we can completely rule out something more complicated and unlikely, until the plane is actually found. I think we'll be waiting a long time.

It’s ironic that a security procedure that was instigated to prevent terrorists accessing the cockpit should also mean that anyone left in the cockpit is unreachable.
Another thing that occurred to me, why did he fly the plane over the ocean? I saw in the article that it may have been so it didn't crash into a populated area, but he's already happy to kill the crew and passengers. And why did he wait for the fuel to run out? He could've just crashed it the 1st chance he had, say when the 1st officer left the flight deck.
EDIT: for me there are too many questions about the suicide theory for me to accept it, just doesn't stack up. The electrical fire explanation has fewer questions, and answers many of the ones I have.

If it was a suicide I would start looking by getting an oceanographic chart of the South Indian Ocean and work out which places that are very deep are within range of a glide from the 7th arc. Somewhere like this...

... because that’s what someone who was intending to make a plane vanish and knew its maximum range would do.

Even if it was that meticulously planned I can’t see the pilot deliberately targeting the deepest part of that ocean. It’s inaccessible enough to make recovery almost impossible as it is and the chances of the plane running out of fuel (as the satellite data suggests it did) at the right moment to put it in the deepest trench is a stretch of the imagination. Even if the pilot could get it close to that point he’d have no control on how it drifted to its final destination on the sea floor.

It wouldn’t matter - it’s a big area, and the plane would certainly sink almost straight down. It couldn’t end up more than a km or two from the ditching point at most, probably less.
It’s also interesting that if the flight simulator data is genuine, the end point is roughly there.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but it’s things like this that make you go hmm.

But I agree...

Honestly, the only rational explanation that answers all the questions is aliens.
Or HAARP.
Or chemtrails.

There are just so many things that don't quite add up whichever theory you look at.

As I say, I’m not a conspiracy nut but when you look at the things that don’t add up you can easily see why people start claiming the Russians did it or it was an extraordinary rendition and diverted to Diego Garcia etc etc.
