I'm surprised there wasn't a thread for this already cause this is creepy as hell.
all following information and pictures comes from The Aviation Herald, a website that reports on major aircraft news, especially accidents
As of the moment of posting, there have been no leads as to the plane's location. It is unknown if it was blown up, crashed in the ocean, landed, or was abducted by aliens. There is literally no information. Pretty crazy.
It is believed that the plane turned around (or at least attempted to) at some point in its flight before going dark.
A Chinese newspaper also reported that a nearby US Air Force base overheard an emergency call from the aircraft, and the pilots are claiming that the plane's cockpit was disintegrating.
It was confirmed that at least TWO passengers on the plane were using stolen passports. When the manifest of the plane's passengers went out, two people from Austria and Italy reported that they were those people, and their passports had been stolen at an earlier point in time. One person was listed on the plane's manifest, but is still home in China, and still carries his passport.
It was confirmed earlier today that the two passengers with stolen passports were of Iranian descent, AND purchased the tickets on the same transaction. Despite this, there isn't exactly a great chance of terrorism. There is a greater implication of human trafficking or smuggling, and unfortunate circumstances just brought this to light.
One of the two passengers was a 19 year old on his way to Germany to live with his mother. His mother even called the police when he didn't arrive. The other passenger, a 29 year old, apparently got on the blame at the same time as the younger man. Not much is known about him though. Both men arrived in Malaysia using their normal passports, but switched to the illegal ones for unknown reasons.
A lack of debris has made it impossible to find the plane. Over the weekend it was reported that a door of the plane was found off the coast of Vietnam, but it was confirmed that it was not from MH370.
Some pictures of stuff:
A field of debris, spotted early morning on March 10.
While there is a chance this could be from the plane, the debris was found far away from the search zone, much farther than would be expected. The area is also heavily populated with fishing boats, and no one reported seeing the plane crash/explode/get abducted.
EDIT: Picture of debris above is not from MH370. It is unknown where it came from, but that's not important. Please view this post for information on China's satellite images.

A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200, registration 9M-MRO performing flight MH-370 from Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) to Beijing (China) with 227 passengers and 12 crew, was enroute at FL350 about 40 minutes into the flight about 90nm northeast of Kota Bharu (Malaysia) over the Gulf of Thailand in contact with Subang Center (Malaysia) just about to be handed off to Ho Chi Minh Air Traffic Control Center (Vietnam) when radar and radio contact was lost at about 01:22L (17:22Z Mar 7th). Subang Air Traffic Control Center officially told the airline at around 02:40L (18:40Z Mar 7th) that the aircraft was missing. The aircraft would have run out of fuel by now, there have been no reports of the aircraft turning up on any airport in the region.
