I guarantee that any known place it could have landed has been / is being checked, as well as massive surveillance underway to uncover any hidden location.

Simpleton?
Ok... lets understand what you are saying. You are suggesting that "in the jungle" is a perfectly paved runway capable of supporting a Boeing 777 fully loaded with fuel, passengers and cargo (~500,000lbs or 250 tons)... that is at least 2 miles in length, including a completely clear, unobstructed approach... existing unbeknownst to any military or government, which no satellite is monitoring and that AND no one can find these runways or identify a missing commercial airliner with a 212' wingspan parked on one.
And according to you, its silly to even scoff at that notion?
Sounds legit.
Suggesting that a plane like this can be landed at an "abandoned" airfield, no matter how much modification is done, clearly indicates that you have no clue what kind of runway is required to even support a loaded plane like this. it's not like Sea Bees laying down landing mats in the mud to land a single passenger WWII fighter plane you know.
