My inner cynic is beginning to think perhaps there’s a coverup going on. Who would cover up what? How about Rolls-Royce covering engine failure? Or Boeing?
Why? Can passengers’ families sue? Can RR and Boeing lose sales?
My initial thought was that it may have accidentally been shot down by Chinese fighters but now I'm not so sure.
It's quite possible the hijacking was done by Islamic extremists (terrorists) and the passengers are going to be used to negotiate the release of imprisoned terrorists globally......
Or it could be alien abduction.......
