Know what's even worse?
jackwads who claim to be right about something even though there is nothing substantial to support their claim, and no one has any idea what really happened including them.

I guess this incident has petered out.

Although, just the other day during casual conversation of this tragedy. Try asking anyone in China or Asia about it. Their general consensus is the US deliberately caused the disappearance. Reason? There were technology engineers on board with secrets of spying / hack knowledge.

Coming from a person that hates the military...
It is no surprise to me at all that you do not have any understanding how this will work out.
Why are there 11 airlines stolen at this moment>?
Eleven sound familiar?
You have no military savvy like your Olooser pres..
It will be too late for you to figure this out.
I can not dwn load it for you.

^^^ just demonstrates how much the Chinese both hate and love us. They seriously believe we are part of a conspiracy.

You really and truly do not understand the number 11?
Really ?
I just can not even bare the slightest conversation with you.
Anyone that HATES the military is no friend of mind, deserves no respect.
Anyone so simple they can not fit a round peg into a round hole and try slam and hammer a square one in is not worth the dendrite time.

Nine • 9

Neuf - Nueve - Dokuz - Devet - Εννιά


The second perfect number in the first decade. The nine muses. The triple triad, completion, fulfillment, beginning and end, the whole thing, the earthly paradise. From a numerological point of view the nine is a particularly interesting number: as the sum of a multi-digit number, that contains a nine, is always the sum of the remaining figures (Example: 199 = 19 = 10 = 1), i.e. when calculating the sum, one can strip all nines.
Also, 9 is the only number whose multiplication results have always 9 as their sum of digits. This number always remains itself. Zeus' Deucalion's flood lasted nine days and nine nights and erased the first mankind – only Deukalion and Phyrra survived. According to the current state of science our solar system has nine planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The human pregnancy lasts 9 months.

Ancient greece

Spirit, God Ares. The Nine Muses: Clio, Calliope, Melpomene, Thalia, Urania, Erato, Euterpe, Terpsichore, Polyhymna.
Bible

In the christian symbolism the number of nine is rarely mentioned. There are three triads of angelic choirs. Nine spheres and rings surround hell.
Babylon

Emphasized in certain calendar systems, cut into 3 times 3.
Buddhist

The highest spiritual power, a heavenly figure, heavenly power, because the 3 times 3 is the most talismanic number.
Yoruba religion

Stands for Oya the Orisha of the winds, lightning and the market.

The enneagram. The fetus grows in nine month. Luna

Not to put too fine a point on it - Pluto is no longer considered a planet....

meanwhile, the most obvious answer, electrical problems leading to fire and eventual loss of aircraft possibly due to negligence of the operators, the most obvious, and basic answer to what happen, remains the obvious and basic answer.

so every once in a while, when someone says something insane that turns out to not be true, its worth it to remind them, that they are dead wrong most of the time.
I agree with you- the most obvious and likely answer is calamitous failure on the aircraft. However, I had dinner and too many reds with my friend the 777 driver about 10 days ago as he blew through town. His view, and apparently a widely held one in the business, is that this (a calamitous failure) is highly unlikey, and that given the sequence of events known to have taken place on the aircraft, it was a human intervention.

To my surprise, he did not discount some of the wilder theories- including that if the pilot (whoever that was) had pointed the aircraft at Diego Garcia and not deviated, the thing would have been blown from the sky.

That A/C probably did not fall out of the sky (with out help)
Therefor one has to conclude being it was not found it is somewhere.
Elementary ? Yes, but this could come with some tragic consequences .
That all said , there is 11 A/C missing. - ( 9/11 mean anything to you? )
transparently it did to them

Actually, they changed their mind again last week...Pluto is a planet again (maybe).

For the clueless, the inept , the want to be wise ones. To those with out any training.
A/C means air craft.
Pretty simple, but not for simpletons .
Too bad you guys are better at video games then real life situations.
