The "Stolen Passports" Theory
CNN released this photo showing the two consecutive tickets purchased by the two passengers with stolen passports.
What's the theory?
Following the revelation that two passengers used stolen passports to board Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, there were concerns that there were terrorists involved in the plane's disappearance.
Is it wrong?
This one was the first theory to be debunked. Officials reported last week that the two Iranian men who boarded with stolen passports had no known terror connections.

Official reports from investigators were picked up by most major news outlets; The Times of Israel is still connecting the disappearance to Iran.
The "Deep Sea Crash" Theory

What's the theory?
Perhaps this is the theory that's held up the best in the almost two weeks since Flight MH370 disappeared. The plane encountered some kind of issue and it crashed into the ocean and sank. That angle on the disappearance became even more believable when, due to the discovery that MH370 changed course, the search radius for the plane was extended into the Indian Ocean. And the Indian Ocean may be completely impossible to search.
Is it wrong?
Except that it's not: It's totally searchable. The issue here is that with a search area of over 2 million square feet, there's a lot of ground to cover. So even with the help of people — like Courtney Love — crowdsourcing satellite data, it will still take a lot of man hours to find out one way or another if the plane sank.
