A pound of gold was around $20,000.
A commercial airliner can carry thousands of pounds of cargo easily. A couple of tons is pushing $100,000,000.
How many tens of millions of dollars makes it “worthwhile”?
I agree.
I haven’t heard anything yet that points in a different direction.
Nice read!
Yes it is very dense - but it is also worth a lot.
Lets say those 500 pounds of stuff labelled batteries was really gold. 500 pounds x 12 troy ounces/pound x $1,200/ounce = $7.2 million dollars.
It looks like a 777 can carry about 350 people (and their luggage and other cargo like “batteries”). About 240 people went missing. So that meant 100 empty seats.
Say 100 empty seats at 200 lbs/seat (person and luggage) gives us 20,000 pounds of extra capacity. At 12 ounces x $1,200 that is another $288 million.
Of course the plane itself is worth $350 million.
All that said - seems pretty far-fetched. But an interesting tale. And really, the entire thing (a 777 disappearing) is an interesting tale and seems pretty far-fetched. But there it is.
Wut? Flying along borders lights you up like a Christmas Tree by both countries!
each country assumes it is an unknown aircraft belonging to the other country? (just an uneducated guess)
I knew a guy in High School, Josh Mangosteen.
Wonder whatever happened to him.
A towelette? It could have easily come from any number of Malaysian Airline flights or someone who dropped it while walking. To connect it to the missing aircraft is a bit far fetched, I think.
It also was carrying 17 engineers who developed a system to make aircraft invisible to radar.
Not that the chi-coms or ruskies would care to have them.
Not sure if this fits with his theory: http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/03/breaking-lt-gen-mcinerney-says-mh370-in-pakistan-i-got-a-source-at-lignet-that-confirmed-it-yesterday-video/
It’s at the bottom of the Indian Ocean. If it is ever found it will be in 100 years, we’ll never know why it went down. That’s life folks.
I know a few professional conspiracy theorists, one who shocked me into finishing my sentence about someone and her girlfriend who traveled with her, telling me her last name, and that was not public at all, and very few knew she was with her these times.
Anyways, he has become an itinerant speaker of sorts, and he believes it is General’s Mcinerney’s(SP?) theory that is correct, such as this one, that the plane is in Russia.
It is the reason it was taken over that I heard recently, from him, that is amazing.
The newer stealth technology? The creation of a surface that bends light around an object?
The Chinese scientists who were on that flight? That was one of their projects.
And everyone else is just collateral damage.
Cargo, people, or the plane... Too much effort if it was just for cargo...
The lack of proof of a highly complex conspiracy proves just how good the cover-up of the conspiracy actually is. Zero evidence means EVIDENCE of a cover-up.
Yeah. . I noticed that particular piece of idiocy, too.
“The newer stealth technology? The creation of a surface that bends light around an object?”
We’ve had that for quite a while. Costly, but we have it.
My theory is Diego Garcia. If it didn’t land there it was splashed by 0 and the info and location in his formidable lock box.
#9 A “World Warm” would be a catastrophe as the north and south poles would melt and out coastlines inundated with water.... : )
I knew him too.... He was on that Malaysian airplane.
