  1. Maybe it ran into a russian military aircraft that was flying without it’s transponder activated. The ruskies have been doing a lot of that lately.

    Or stockpiling for 9/11/2015? Nah. The muzzies wouldn’t attack the contintental US again with the muzzie-in-chief still in power.

  3. @mid island mike…..small possibility, but highly unlikely. Even if there was a russkie MILITARY aircraft in the area running blacked-out, you can bet your bottom rain forest tree he had his radar on, and would of known of any aircraft within 200NM at any altitude of his position. Unless Asia Air is running stealth pax flights now?

  4. Even less people than usual will be watching CNN speculate about speculative things for days on end.

  5. Just because aircraft are sufficiently reliable to resemble railways, and no longer have to rely on big concrete arrows, doesn’t mean that mechanical failures and gravity no longer exist.
    That’s why when there is snow on the ground, and I am venturing forth for more than a miles or so, that I leave my winter boots and coat/hat behind.
    $**t happens.

  6. And the public is left wondering, in this day of GPS and satellite, why the precise position of every commercial flight is not known every single second.

    There is a (Canadian) company called Star Navigation that has been selling this technology for several years. Costs a few grand per plane I heard. Some airlines already have it on all their planes.

  8. Mass human sacrifices by the satanists in the Illuminaty,FR and United Nations as well as the Triladeral Commision?

  9. Third one,make you wonder if maybe someone who wanted to enter Paradise was on each of the planes.
    At least this time there is none of the pathetic media rumors that the plane could have been hijacked and landed on a hidden airstrip on some mysterious island,somewhere. Or maybe wafted off into another dimension… cue the twilight Zone intro.
    Nowadays when a modern aircraft disappears the answer is painfully simple: it crashed or was blown up by a dedicated bomber on board.

  10. Don, it isn’t as far fetched as you think regarding landing at hidden airstrips. Like the 777, someone isn’t talking for a reason.

  11. …but, it was shot down before landing in Pakistan. US forces in Garcia thought it was being targeted like 911.

  12. The story has already started to disappear down the memory hole…funny how large, modern aircraft can just disappear these days with just a shrug.

  13. Have taken that flight several times.
    If people understood the volume of flights and “how things work” in SEA it’s a bloody miracle that allot more don’t go down.
    Regardless, as far as the conspiracy theories go – There is such a thing as Conspiracies; they have existed within governments and between governments long before Ancient Egypt and ever since.
    Seriously has any revolution, civil war or Imperialistic Empire EVER not been born from conspiracy?
    I find it weird even laughable that so many people don’t seem to think conspiracies happen today or certainly not with “their” governments.

  14. Not a conspiracy theory, but WTHeck? They can not find yet another plane…in an age where everyone and their dog own a phone that has GPS? Are you telling me that there is no technology that exists where they can not trace or pin point the last place any single one of those phones last transmitted?
    something else going on here.
