Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

The wildest one came yesterday from Lt. General Thomas McInerney who said he believes the plane is now sitting in a secret hangar in either Pakistan or Iran. It's being refueled and loaded up with nuclear and dirty bombs and biological weapons. Good luck world. I'll be with Dr. Strangelove in a nearby mine shaft.

In terms of looking at possible scenarios, that's not all that wild. If there was indeed enough fuel to make it to those destinations, it only stands to reason that , upon landing, a secret hanger is exactly what would be needed to hide a 777.

Taking a plane to the bottom of the ocean seems pretty pointless - even counter-productive. I'm keeping an open mind.

Yet they are whining about how the media is portraying them as incompetent hick backward boobs.

Are they in a contest with the Malaysian govt for 1st place in the category of most unbelievably incompetent ? It looks to be a toss up.

Quote:China has new images showing object in southern Indian Ocean, Malaysia says China has new satellite images showing a large object floating in the southern Indian Ocean and will be sending ships to verify, the Malaysian transport minister said Saturday. The object is 22.5 meters long and 13 meters wide (74 feet by 43 feet), Hishammuddin Hussein announced. He told reporters he'd just gotten the information, and China will release more details in the "coming hours." China later said the satellite images showing the "suspected floating object" were captured four days ago, on March 18. The floating object was about 77 miles from where earlier satellite images spotted floating debris. http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/22/world/asia/malaysia-airlines-plane/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

Quote:Originally posted by Jongsstraw: When the plane went missing two weeks ago I watched a lot of news coverage for hours. Now the whole thing has become a sick farce. I can't stomach to watch five minutes of it now. CNN ought to be ashamed of themselves for their over-the-top speculative coverage of this event. Fox News isn't too far behind them in this theater of the absurd. CNN even had a psychic on tv giving her two cents.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: This is my first foray into this thread, and at some point I'm going to read the previous posts but... at first I was mildly interested. "Disappear??" How can a plane just disappear? Crash, maybe. Fall out of radar sight, maybe. But the longer this goes on, with nobody claiming responsibility, and nobody claiming they have a planeload of hostages, it's clear that however the disappearance was initiated- by now everybody is dead. Time to call off the search. We can use that $$$ for other things.
