Musing About that Missing Malaysia Airliner

[FlashM]

Typically tight-lipped Israel hinted we should look in Iran.

What IF Iran (or some other terrorist group) snatched missing Malaysia Air 370 and is planning to fly it, possibly repainted, tricked-out with stealthy false electronic verification and armed with explosives somewhere like Israel, our European allies or even the continental U.S.?

I just hope the Department of Defense and Homeland Security has given it some thought, too.

[Bob Of Burleson]

Iran? Dear, sweet Iran? I don't think so. Now if you want to suggest an Al Qaeda group out of Iran or elsewhere, I'll go along with that.

[knotlazy]

Hmmm.

What did they do with the passengers if your theory is true?

Can't say I haven't thought something similar. My mind still can't grasp that a plane filled with people & technology just vanished.

[LibraryLady]

When I learned that many airplanes are NOT covered with technology/tracking for hours at a time when they are over oceans or mountains, I can understand how this one vanished. They could have sent messages for help that were never heard.......and that blip on the tracking screen was never on anyone's screen to be noticed when it vanished.

It doesn't make a lot of sense.
Iran has airliners of it's own.
Why hatch an elaborate scheme to steal one?

Occam's Razor

[GFB]

Muslim pilot took the plane off course..and nose dived it at full speed into the ocean..assuring no pieces of anything bigger then a thumbnail.

[BigTex]

It's going to be hard to refit the airplane from the bottom of the ocean.

[planosteve]

It's in a hanger on Diego-Garcia being refitted.

[BigTex]

Then the Brits and the U.S. Navy are in on it.

[planosteve]

It's going to be flown into the new WTC in New York by a fake hijacker, actually as a drone, to give Bebe an excuse to nuke Iran.

[BigTex]

Then the Brits and the U.S. Navy are in on it.

Up to their ear balls.

[FlashM]

Then the Brits and the U.S. Navy are in on it.

So you're thinking it's known for sure it went down, but it's not known exactly where or it's not recoverable?

[Houston]

It's on W's ranch in Crawford.
He's waiting for the time to reveal it so again it will be W's fault

[GFB]

Then the Brits and the U.S. Navy are in on it.

So you're thinking it's known for sure it went down, but it's not known exactly where or it's not recoverable?

Ask a pilot if he would expect to find any pieces if someone deliberately nose dives their jet.

[planosteve]

You can never trust the navy. The're sneaky. Remember the Maine? And the Gulf of Tonkin?
And South Pacific? Talk about over acting

[BigTex]

OK, let's see if I have this straight. Diego Garcia is an atoll in the Indian Ocean that is all of 17 square
miles. If Flight 370 landed on the airstrip, it is EXTREMLY unlikely that one living soul on the atoll would
not know that is was there. So you would have to confiscate ALL personal phones and personal computers to be
sure the information was kept secret. All outgoing mail would have to be sanitized. Also EVERYONE on the atoll will have to stay there forever so they have no opportunity to mention it to a duped civilian populace.

Oh, and the Russians would also have to be in on it since their satellite surveillance would have revealed
its presence.

Don Lemon's black hole theory sounds better and better compared to what I'm reading here.

Probably landed at night. Nobody saw it. Without a transponder, it couldn't be indentified. The Russians wouldn't have paid any attention to a plane flying into a naval base. Happens every day.
