I am not a conspiracy theorist, but if the aircraft is _NOT_ where Inmarsat says it is, then clearly there exists a very real possibility that - given the tracking of the ACARS until it ran out of fuel - it may well be at the end of the northern arc, in the other direction, and could be in Russia.
But what the hell would I know.
