Being purchased at the same time
Ticket numbers being in sequence

I think this is more than just using illegal passports to get somewhere.

Booking an ongoing flight lowers any suspicion for terror related activity I'm guessing. Besides, if they were planning on destroying the Malaysian flight, missing their connecting flight is hardly a concern for them....

But, it's all speculation. The whole story will come out eventually.

More interesting news:
"Investigators have made contact with a missing Chinese passenger's mobile phone, state media reports.

Chinese television stations say that a call made by family members DID connect to a mobile number but then cut out.

It is now hoped officials can use the mobile phone signal of passengers to locate the missing plane."

The onward leg may have been to avoid obtaining a visa for China prior to departure from KUL.

ABC & 7 are reporting search aircraft have spotted debris in the Gulf of Thailand.

The showed a photo, but was only a few pieces so may not even belong to the plane.

Vietnam's navy has spotted a floating object about 80 kilometers (50 miles) southwest of Vietnam's Tho Chu Island, which is located off the country's southwest coast in the Gulf of Thailand.

Vietnam National Search and Rescue Committee Spokesman Hung Nguyen told CNN. The object was spotted by a Vietnamese navy rescue aircraft at about 7:30 a.m. ET Sunday (6:30 p.m. local time).

Due to the dark, the navy aircraft could not get close enough to identify the floating object, and was recalled to base. Three search and rescue boats have since been deployed to that location.
