There's something inherently wrong about something so big with so many people just disappearing, even in something as vast as an ocean. It taps into our modern fear of flying. Add to that the bizarre behavior of the person or persons piloting the plane in its final hours, and the fact that at least two passengers were travelling with other people's papers. Add to that there's the problem with Malaysia's failure to communicate what's going on in a timely matter, not because they're concealing information to protect their investigation but because they're shit communicators.
It is easy to say "terrorist." However, no terrorists have yet claimed credit for this possible attack. I will reserve the "terrorist" for when news become available that there were terrorists involved.
Putting on my Sherlock Holmes-style seersucker hat, I believe the pilot or co-pilot had a mental issue and killed the other, and tried to steal the plane, perhaps sending it into the ocean in the midst of his psychosis. A faulty skyjacking seems to be the theory in vogue. The duo using stolen passports could mean everything or nothing. Strange coincidences happen all the time across history.
Above all, we do not know, and can only wait to find out.
