Look at http://de.flightaware.com/live/fligh.../ZBAA/tracklog for example to see the heading(s).

Which would be similar to the Helios 522 situation no?
In a scenario similar to that situation I would assume that if the plane was flying for that long without any contact, the military or some other body that deals with out of control airborne objects would have been notified sooner?

This plane simply disappeared in an instant.

The last entry (scroll down) at 01:02AM shows the plane heading 25° at 35000 feet.

Actually, the fact that a handoff to the HCMC FIR was imminent should have had both radars looking for the aircraft. It has been established that the boundary waypoint was within ADS-B range of both ATC facilities.

So has anyone calculated the interval between when the plane lost contact with flight radar and when it was supposed to check in? Also. I would assume it could be seen by the radar if it was supposed to fly though the airspace, therefore debunking the continuation of the flight due to hypoxia theory?

News from Civil Aviation Administration (CAA) of Vietnam, Hong Kong CAA informed Vietnam that pilot on a Hong Kong's commercial flight reported about having seen many debris floating about 500km from the current SAR area.

Is it possible to be the wreckage?

The first entry (on top) is right after departure at 12:43AM. The plane was at 2400 feet then, heading 333°, then it turned towards 24° (second entry, the same minute - 12:43AM) at 3100 feet and kept that course more or less until it disappeared.
The last entry (scroll down) at 01:02AM shows the plane heading 25° at 35000 feet.

Has anyone pointed out that this flight occured on a moonless night in open waters?
Spatial disorientation is at it's prime when this happens. Haven't seen any press about this.

Presumably seen as very unlikely because the aircraft's sytems aren't easily fooled in this situation even if the pilots are. I suppose it would be possible as part of a total electronic failure but I can't imagine how that would happen.
