It appears a giant airliner disappeared. There's conflicting reports, opinions, conspiracy theories and a whole bunch of time spent just talking about nothing.
Personally, I think it was pulled into the mother ship, with a tractor beam, and the occupants are on their third round of anal probing.
Great.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're next.
They don't have to waste the time. They can call my doctor for the photos of my colonoscopy. I'll sign a release.
DeleteWe should all pack a container of Vaseline, just in case.
ReplyDeleteI doubt the TSA likes allows anything that removes their enjoyment of cruel body searches.
DeleteAhkmed's Razor is my theory that in these cases of tragedy, the most obvious answer on islamo terrorism is usually the cause.
ReplyDelete...not to be confused with Occam's razor.
ReplyDeleteIt very well could be, but terrorists are like politicians and love attention when they think it will do some good. It's been too long for the attention seekers to not have raised their ugly heads.
DeleteIf I had to guess what really happened, a few things cross my mind, but number one is a hijacking for someone, or something on board.
With Vietnam in close proximity, their alliance with China and the number of former military facilities still in country, I wouldn't put it past either to steal the plane, ice the passengers and go on with their business.
In 50 years the plane will fly out of a cloud and land in a time never dreamed of. True. I saw something like it on TV.
ReplyDelete...and Richard Dreyfus will be waiting; or not.
DeleteAnybody remember the Stephen King story The Langoliers? Makes me wonder...
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I'm at a loss for any theory of how a modern airliner could disappear without a trace, without any warning, short of another Bermuda Triangle in the South China Sea. Terrorism is a possibility, but like Jess says none of the usual suspects are claiming any responsibility, so that one is up in the air. Most disturbing is that they can't pinpoint any wreckage anywhere.
As time passed, more information is available, and it looks as though much was missed and it's not so mysterious.
DeleteWould it be out of line to wish that airliner had been chock full of Washington's "finest?"
ReplyDeleteNot at all. In fact, it's acceptable to imagine there were a few hundred full of Obama voters disappearing forever.
