No, I don’t agree that the target was the plane. It’s not hard to get your hands on a plane by conventional means - this attracts way too much attention.

If something big was intended for this aircraft, it would have been done at the time. Now, everyone on earth is looking for a 777, it has “Kick Me” written all over it.

This is either a diversion, or it was someone/something on that plane. Not the plane itself. It’s radioactive, toxic.

Or it crashed in the ocean and people are making up stuff. There is a lot of wiggle room in these statements.

My take on the possibilities...

1. Pilot suicide

2. Hijacking (See answer 3 below)

3. Terrorism

4. Diversion (See answer 3 above)

5. Someone/something on that plane is very important to someone.

I agree, the plane is of no value.

I must agree. It's almost as if some of us (those more given to conspiracy theories, I guess) believe that the only possible means for a terrorist state (or group) to obtain an airplane for future use is to hijack one that's loaded with passengers...like there's absolutely no way they couldn't just purchase one that didn't have 200+ people on it already. You could probably pick an empty plane up pretty cheap from a failed terrorist state that itself managed to procure a plane, but doesn't need it anymore because they couldn't come up with any WMDs to load onto it.

OK...so there's a bit of facetiousness there. But not everything under the sun is some big conspiracy.

I still say it’s a way of saying... we’re here and we’re coming.

Maybe someone with Obama's original BC/school/college records.
