4703, I believe . . . upstream in this thread . . .

[LikeLight]

I don't know much about radar - perhaps these more knowledgeable posters I'm pinging can help - I'm curious about the plane going completely off radar at 4000 feet - does that mean it blew up?

The 53-minute tape was recorded this month and acquired from a seller over the Net, the Al-Ansaar news agency says.

What, on eBay?

"The 6 off-duty Egyptian crew members"

First I've seen this mentioned. There was a plane crash after takeoff in Jamaica Bay NYC right after 9/11 and I think it did some similar manuevers.

[Letitring]

LOL. Sounds about right.

Some of those caves are pretty. After all of this research, I might have to tour a couple of the more touristy ones. :)

If you'd told me 2 weeks ago I'd be spending hours looking into caves, I would have laughed. :)

Anybody got a link to the earlier story on this that talked about the debris field? If memory serves, the article cited said there had not been any large portions of the plane recovered at that time; only thousands of smaller pieces were seen.

Flight 587 . . . American Airlines(?) . . . Yes, and the press/officials did similar maneuvers also - coming up with every lame excuse in the book to avoid the "T" word . . .

[tubavil]

Good points. There was also a recent alert about air terrorism in SA hours before the crash.

[LikeLight]

Yes . . . I'm out of here for the night . . . expect you all to have it solved by morning . . .

Belly project:

Attack is suppose to be from the Belly of the Eagle.

Picture JP had loaded hat the word NEXT Coded to read NXT

NXT Energy has a project called Belly River. Belly River has a network of caves and tunnels along that river map I posted.

Many of the AQ messages had water/river/sea coded for a reference.

But, I am just hunting and pecking.

Link?

Ok, granted the article was posted here from Debka , but some interesting points are made about the circumstances.

[BulletBobCo]

Going off the radar at 4000 feet doesn't necessarily mean that it blew up. Some radar lose the signal at a minimum altitude, depending on location between the radar and the target and whatever obstacle that could be in the way to block the return of the signal.

[Letitring]

Yes it was there. Very weird, of course. I'm gone for the evening. God Bless everyone.

I don't know how to post a link. blush.

Is anyone familiar with Eagle Cave in the Adirondacks, said to be the deepest cave in those mountains?

Now your post makes sense.

Taken from the article & link I just posted above:

"The incident is absolutely not the result of a terrorist act," added Ahmed Maher, the foreign minister.

Airport officials reported no distress call before the plane disappeared off the radar after take-off. Helicopters, boats and local divers were recovering wreckage from the plane, including floating suitcases and debris. By last night only six bodies had been found.

On board the flight were 133 French passengers and a Morocccan and a Japanese, both women. Thirteen Egyptian and Moroccan crew also died.

It emerged last night that one woman passenger - Fatima Hjiaj, 47 - made two phone calls to her nephew. The first said there was a problem with the aircraft during taxiing before take-off. The second, as it was crashing, described another problem during the brief flight.

Mohamed Hjiaj, of Moroccan origin, said: "She said, 'Something's happening to the flight', then there were screams from the air hostess standing next to her and the line cut."

This sounds a lot like the famous blooper from the old "Lone Ranger" show: The townspeople were being held captive inside a coal mine by the bad guys, when one of the townsfolk says, "Listen, I hear a white horse coming!"

How exactly could they tell from a phone call to her nephew (almost certainly not recorded) that the screams he heard on the call were "from the air hostess" and that she was "standing" near his aunt?

One wonders whether what the flight attendant was screaming was, "J---s lady, shut the phone off!".

And if the flight had just taken off, everyone would be strapped into their seats; flight attendants included.

If a flight attendant really was standing in an aisle, perhaps the identity of that person needs to be confirmed by authorities...and investigated?
