Both pilots were Muslim from the manifesto, the Pilot was 53 years old and the Co-Pilot was I believe 27 years old, for that theory to make sense the co-pilot must have been OK with plummeting to his death because no one said a peep, if I was a co-pilot on a plane and the Pilot was getting ready to off himself I would have been screaming bloody murder to the control tower

“if I was a co-pilot on a plane and the Pilot was getting ready to off himself I would have been screaming bloody murder to the control tower”

Makes certain sense to you and I but remember the Asiana co-pilot last July that said nothing as the Captain flew that 777 onto the ground in SFO. And the co- was actually training the Captain on the type. Strange indeed.

why, do you think calling a “control tower” would help....the aircraft is 7 mile high, and controlled by 2 pilots, assuming the aircraft is functioning correctly....There is a radio Aircraft Reporting System(ACARS), that automatically reports the engineering profile of the aircraft, back to the maintenance department of the airline....this system was instrumental in determining the cause of an Air France crash off the Brazilian coast, a few years ago....I suggest that the cause is known by the airline, using the ACARS profile....

They don’t think the plane crashed at all. They seem to think that it landed somewhere on some obscure runway, where it is being held for future use. The possibility that the plane might have been carrying some kind of valuable cargo was also mentioned.
