Pilot involved in terrorism would explain it wouldn't it?

Probably the only way a distress signal wouldn't have been sent

 

Its more likely just broke mid air and they ain't found it yet...

Is it possible for terrorists to take the plane off the radar? If so is it also possible they flew it elsewhere and landed it without it being detected?

 

Or... as silly as anewman's claim was.... What happens if the pilot decides he's flying it into space.... At what point does the plane capitulate?

When it runs out of enough air to keep the engines working properly. Around 55,000 feet maximum I would guess.

I imagine the only way to do it would be to fly really low and even then the radar would see it on its way down rather than it just vanishing into thin air

much higher

 

In a 777? It's maximum service ceiling is 43,100. I wouldn't have thought that there was enough air for the engines or lift for the wings above 55,000 feet. I think you're thinking of rockets, LW. (They take their oxygen with them.)
