Seems like a lot of effort is being launched to convince folks of the on board fire theory. Yet with a sighting over the Maldives and Boeing blurting out its ascertained the jet has landed in Pakistan, and so now we have to prep a Seal Team 6 incursion but with resources to safely remove more than 200 passengers.
Hello NAPA, this is Al "the wrench" Queda calling from Islamabad. You got a couple oil filters and a set a brake pads for a triple 7-200?
As I’ve read here, I agree with the theory that the plane was hijacked, probably by the pilot, and probably with the intent to fly back to Malaysia and crash into something governmental.
I strongly suspect, in the process of turning around and hiding his course, the Chinese shot the plane down because it flew over something sensitive.
The Chinese freaked about shooting down an airliner and, now that the situation has gone on so long, will never say a word.
