No mention of twin oil slicks corresponding to two engines.
Nor do they mention that the Italian and the Austrian were stolen passports so most likely not from those countries.
I still hate to get on an airplane—only a dire emergency with my scattered family would induce me to to so………..
Also, I hate that none of the passengers or crew is armed.
I hope it was quick for all concerned.
I can’t imagine what it would be like knowing it was coming if I had a child with me.
If I was alone,so be it.

Praying for a miracle.

In addition to a bomb scenario, I can’t help thinking about that Egyptian pilot nosediving into the Atlantic
The Lagarto (SS-371) was found just a few days ago (late April 2005) by local wreck divers Jamie Macleod & Stewart Oehl of MV Trident near it's reported last siting. The Lagarto was found by comparing it's last known position against hundreds of fisherman's 'net snag' marks in the area of interest. 5 fisherman's marks in particular, were close to the sinking site.
Normally it might take days or weeks of Sidescan sonar runs to locate a new wreck in this depth of water, but in an extraordinary stroke of good luck, the Lagarto appeared at the closest of these fisherman's marks.
For 60 years the Lagarto rested untouched on the seabed in 70 meters of water about 150 kilometers off the southeast coast of Thailand. The top of the conning tower is at 55 meters. Local dive operators on the tiny resort island of Koh Tao knew of the submarine's fate, but couldn't pinpoint her location until recently.
"We've always known that since the end of the war there's been a submarine missing around there," said British wreck diver Jamie MacLeod, who discovered the 110-meter submarine. "We went into all the war-time records, cross-referenced them with fisherman's marks and then searched with sonar and it came up trumps - we found a bump on the bottom, went down the line and there it was."
MacLeod said, "It looks to me like it's intact and it's sitting upright on the bottom in very clear water, so you can get a good idea of what it looks like. Everything is still on it - all the armaments, the brass navigation lights. It's beautiful."
Two stolen passports, two pieces of the bomb put together about two hours into the flight after the passengers have been fed and the lights shut off for the night flight to Beijing.
The Islamists are winning the WOT, they aren't attacking the West right now, while the US is unilaterally disarming led by idiot politicians on both sides.
This serves as a warning to the Islamic countries that they should never forget who is boss.. its a warning to the West also but I have no illusions that it will be heeded
Synchronicity?
The movie “Non-Stop” starring Liam Neeson is now playing in theaters. In the movie, TWO hijackers have placed a bomb in the plane.

The passports were stolen two years ago.
How were the passengers with the stolen cards allowed on board? Wouldn’t those passports have been reported stolen and then the #’s put on some type of international do not fly list?
Hell, after all the security we have to go through these days just to get from LA to Las Vegas. And yes, I too hate the hassle at the airport, I’d rather travel by car.

It’s in Pyongyang. And you know they don’t say nuttin ‘bout nuttin.
It is daylight there now. Any update?
No wonder that for all outsiders beyond Asia, the information released by China, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia, is like dealing with the Keystone cops
At least three different intended flight paths are displayed by different news services, and these are several hundred miles apart.
Critical flight duration times are given between 20 minutes and 2 hours before losing track of the aircraft.
If the flight disappeared upon reaching cruising altitude (presumably 36,000) all other data available (FlightAware, etc.) suggests this must have happened 20 minutes after takeoff. This would place debris in the Gulf of Thailand
If the total elapsed time of flight between takeoff and disappearance had been 2 hours (another figure mentioned regularly) the debris must have "landed" in the Gulf of Tonkin.
That is assuming, however that the intended flight path is the easternmost one on the map being shown regularly.
I sure hope the International rescue crews actively seeking the wreckage have more reliable information than what all the western media has presented so far.
