Not sure if everyone is alive or dead, but it is looking likely that the transponder going off was intentional, and that the plane was likely consciously flown to a different location.
Yeah the transponder being turned off intentionally takes out the decompression theory, or pretty much any other mechanical one if it kept flying for hours on end.

I said days ago that only thing that made sense was cockpit breach and then who knows after that. Probably crashed somewhere, because I am not buying that a 777 was just able to fly around and land somewhere remote enough to not find it, or that the terrorists that took over the plane had the ability to even land the thing.

No manual/simulator is going to teach you how to land a 777. There is no way some clown ass terrorist could pull that off without crashing. GTFOH.
Possible that one of the pilots was still alive to do this?
