And some were bashing that General last night who appeared on Hannity’s show who said that in 24-48 hours we would be finding out that this plane is in Pakistan
This reminds me of the incident where a cobra got lose from some guy’s house. They had all these people searching for this snake with traps etc. I drove over to the area and saw all the acres of woods and said “they ain’t ever gonna find that snake”. And they didn’t.
Same with this plane I’m afraid. After almost two weeks of this drama my opinion is that it is likely “they ain’t ever gonna find this plane”.
Or more obviously (can’t believe someone else hasn’t said this yet) perhaps the island was a refueling stop.
Hmmm, so that means it went .... north??
(Anybody save those tweets??)
Anybody save those missing tweets mentioned in post #12
The Malaysians must have studied that old business school classic:
Mushroom Management: Keep them in the Dark and FEed Them Manure.
“Flying With Fish @flyingwithfish 2h
Yes @scovers123, I’m looking at a Twitter search for “#MH370” and “Diego Garcia” & 10 hours of tweets regarding that are missing as a block “

Well, omoslem spent part of his youth in Pakistan, maybe this will be the “Lame Duck One” aircraft for when he flees the US to avoid treason hearings.
Mr.Chelle, his lovely beard has developed a liking to flying around it those big jets.
Just another old radar sighting of Santa.
“Malaysia confirms?” Then rest assured, there is no new radar data.
I remember reading about the assasination of the Afghan opposition leader Massoud on Sept 10th 2001 by the suicide bombers with their TV camera bomb and wondered what such clever terrorists would do next. I think this incident fits into that category.
You've never been fooled by a toupee?
Sumpin's up!
He would probably need 8,000 feet of runway minimum for take off with fuel and passengers and luggage/freight. And that would be cutting it kinda close. Throw out the passengers and luggage/freight and it would not be that bad.
I don’t think he stopped anywhere. Flew straight to Paki or Iran.
Nope Misinformation to keep folks from looking where the plane is hidden
Has anyone considered what would happen if plane flies into Diego Garcia and asks for political asylum? 250 new in witness protection? Must sort out who goes where take 24-48 hours to get paper work done. Last one off plane. Those who are heading back to China Well it would make a good book ! Or not!
posted tues.
CNN reporting tonight that the FBI has ZERO forensic evidence of any pre-planned action by the pilots, other than the events leading up to to westward turn of the aircraft.
