A former airline boss and writer claims the U.S. downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 because the military feared it had been taken over by hackers and was about to be used in a 9/11-style attack. Marc Dugain, the former chief executive of now-defunct Proteus Airlines, said the jumbo jet was shot down near a U.S. military base on the remote island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean after it was hacked. He told Paris Match that islanders in the Maldives near Diego Garcia told him they saw the missing aircraft flying low. Dugain spoke of a fisherman on a small island who spoke of a 'huge plane' in Malaysie Airline's colours on March 8. |

If it was hijacked and turned to a suicide mission, how can they not shoot it down? Still farfetched though.
|
|
Sounds as plausible as every other bullshit excuse for the plane's disappearance and lack of the entire world's ability to be able to find it.
|
|
Aaaaand I say they shot it down using a mail-order Carcano. Three shots, all good hits.
|
|
fbho wouldn't dare shoot it down. He'd be outside cheering it on. That stupid son of a bitch

Not like we never shot down a civilian airliner before.
No, we didn't shot down this one. |
|
Holy shit I forgot all about that plane. It probably fell down the BP oil well.
|
|
I was just thinking about the lack of anything on this one lately.
Anybody think we'll never find the wreckage? Or will debris start showing up years later? |
|
|
The base at Diego Garcia doesn't have missile systems.
It also has about 3000 people including military and civilians on it that would have to be kept quiet. |
|
I can't believe that damn thing is still missing.
That's why I never travel with out my EPIRB. srs. |

Malaysian police previously said the data logs from the simulator Zaharie built himself were deleted on February 3. The simulator was later sent along with drives from the two pilots’ computers to the FBI’s forensics lab in Quantico, Virginia. View Quote if the US shot it down, why did the pilot wipe his own hard drive? |

Haven't there been a few other over water crashes that took years to find?

How is the term 'hacked' used here? Are they saying the onboard computer system was used to control the plane remotely? Utter bullshit if that's what it means.

View Quote You can take control of the plane from outside the cockpit. Has been known for a while. Really this story is as plausible as any other and I don't have a problem with it if we did. The Aussies should know exactly where the damn thing went and they have been silent on the radar data. CNN video on the remote access. http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/bestoftv/2014/10/08/mh370-miles-obrien-update-newday.cnn |

It took almost 80 years. A low flying jet, with no transponder, is approaching a remote, strategically-important military base at high speed. They are headed directly towards your base and are not responding to radio requests to identify themselves. WHAT WOULD YOU DO? I'd shoot the fucker down. Hacked or hijacked, it makes no difference. Those who turned off the transponder and refused to respond to radio requests for ID/IFF doomed the civilians on board the plane. |

"They" would happen to be the former CEO of a failed French airline. Let's not get too excited just yet.

Meh. Another conspiracy theory. If It were blown out of the sky one would think there would have been a huge debris field.
|
|
I heard something along the lines of the US Mil shot down the plane b/c it was being used to smuggle some sort of secret weapon/weapons system into China that was lost when US special forces came under attack in Afghanistan.
I guess you can add that to the list of conspiracy theories. |

It's not a true anti-American conspiracy until they tie W/Cheney to it. Somehow.

Aren't the seat cusions supposed to act as a flotation device in case of a water ditching?
How many seats on this plane? 200? 300? And not one single seat cushion was ever spotted floating on the ocean? Or a part of a seat cushion? |

"The Senegal-born Frenchman, who is now a successful novelist, also told a radio station he was warned not to investigate MH370 by an intelligence source, who spoke of 'risks' and counselled him to 'let time do its work'. Wow that would make a great book/ screenplay. He's floating a book idea. |

I was just under the impression that some floating trash or debris gets carried away by the currents and: A. Would wash up on some shore/beach Or B. Find its way to these like dead zones where the trash just spins and spins in this giant circle out in the ocean |

View Quote This, shit would have been washing up somewhere already and as fancy as our infallible thousands of co-conspirators and military are....they would have missed bits. The crazy is strong with this one. Maybe it was shot down for a real reason, but remote control, etc.... Unless you call a rogue pilot jihadist a "remote control"', is fanciful at best. ETA, that is a strong maybe, as the issue of debris is still there. |

Yep they shot it down with a new wormhole bomb that doesn't leave any wreckage or evidence.
