“There are lots of possibilities”

Wow! Very interesting. I don’t see a problem with revealing the crash site. The revealer could pretend they just got lucky when actually they had a secret means of knowing the crash site.

As any diabetic will tell you, reason, is not a need.

The discussion of the motive is unsatisfying, as clinical depression and a bad marriage doesn't seem to be an adequate motive for the mass murder of hundreds of people.

Looks like you've already forgotten the Germanwings murders.

Long read but my guess is that some day baggage or parts will surface. But I’m going with Allua Akbar as that POS ran out of fuel.

Hi.

I’m going with CNN’s Don Lemon who said a black hole did it.

He should know about black holes.

Oh, so they found the flight data recorder? /s NOT!

If they know so much, where is the plane? Hmmmmm? Just like flight 800, we will NEVER know the truth.

Wait a minute, I know what happened to flight 800. I guess I should have said that it will never be admitted to.

Maybe James Kallstrom, on his deathbed, will clear his conscience.

They love death more than we love life.

As you perceive, sufferers of Clinical Depression, who don’t really care enough about anything to eat or get out of bed, are extremely unlikely to summon the energy to plan, practice and carry out a complex mass murder, all while pretending to be normal enough not to alert the airline. The diagnosis for that would be “psychopath” acting on a perceived grievance. My guess is the wife’s departure was an effect, not a cause.

Fact - he was a big fan of a flight simulator and he was recording his flights on that simulator. One flight on the simulator exactly mimicked the actual flight path of the Malaysian flight, and that was the ONLY saved simulation where there was no completion to landing. They think he left that smoking gun on purpose.

carriage_hill :" They love death more than we love life."

Islamic leaders say, "We are going to win, because they love life and we love death,"
said Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah.
He has also said: "[E]ach of us lives his days and nights hoping more than anything to be killed for the sake of Allah."
The substance of this quote goes back to 626 A.D.

“It is quite possible someone does know...but revealing that knowledge would expose a capability that is classified.”

Yes. That’s what I think.

The sentence below from the article hints at that and says more than I’d ever heard. I had thought the plane was lost outright.

But, I always thought we must know where it went from satellite info. I figure we know what every large jet does.

“the airplane, if simply left alone, would not have dived quite as radically as the satellite data suggest that it did”

“Space based radar that tracks all flights... A staring or scanning IR satellite with high enough resolution and real-time capability to track aircraft in flight...”

I’d guess we have this - the ability to track every flight.

The article actually indicates it, mentioning satellite data.

[I’m going with CNN’s Don Lemon who said a black hole did it.]

And yet there are still Democrats who take him seriously.

Because they’re smarter than we are, mind you.
