As far as the Hypoxia theory since the crew said goodnight to the Malaysian tower at 35,000 ft an hour into the flight it would have to have been a catastrophic problem to depressurize and knock out the transponders so fast that the pilots don't have time to issue a mayday..everything I know says if that happened it couldn't continue to fly for 6 more hours.

Another thing that bugs the crap out of me is this aircraft was equipped with an ELT(Emergency Locator Transmitter) which is separate from the black boxes and it sends location messages to a satellite immediately after a crash or senses water..why did this not go off if it crashed?
Not one theory seems to make sense, but my guess is that there were 2 separate and possibly unrelated events that on their own are quite logical. When they finally do find the black box, the reaction will probably be; "What were the chances that both of those things would occur on the same flight?".
