Well, I don’t know, they are saying that same airline had a plane crash during a highjacking some years ago.
I suppose if the pilots resist they can lose control and the plane can crash, although clearly that is not the intent of a highjacking.
How's this for a wild, wacky theory /sarcasm off/ ...
Maybe the aircraft was shot down by a naval vessel conducting military exercises in the area? Where have we heard that before?
the fragments found floating 50 miles southwest of Tho Chu Island are believed to be part of the inner door and part of the aircrafts tail
