    I posted this theory around page 5. Finally glad this idea is gaining some traction.

    I noticed that and hoped that it would be forgotten allowing me to be the first to suggest alien intervention -- you've won this round Mr. Brightside...

    Random question: Is making jokes about this in poor taste? I see quite a few posts on facebook making light of the situation in which 200+ people are more than likely dead. Too soon?

    CNN's ratings have been beating Fox News in the key demos since this story started. Fox almost ignored this story for days, instead focusing on their Anti-Obama stories. When Fox saw the ratings, the started to focus more on the Missing plane.

    At one point this site was dedicated to Mario Ellie. I myself was a Launch Pad transplant. This was in the real early days of the internet.

    It is surprising to me just how many people have been on this site for 20 years or more. There are more than a few.

    From about 1985 to 2000 I was a die hard rockets fan. Or at least I thought I was and I probably was in the early days of my youth. As I grew older and the players I followed left the team or retired, I realize that I wasn't a fan of the organization. Instead, I was a fan of THAT ERA and THAT team, which included, Horry, Ellie, Brooks, Wiggins, Llyod, OT, and Hakeem, and others.

    I started to not become a rockets fan when the organization keep trying to hold on to the glory they once had and it just became a matter of reloading. Hakeem was drafted by the rockets, grew up as a houstonian, brought the city its only championship.

    This is pretty much the same way I feel about the houston oilers. Earl Campbell and Warren Moon.

    Yeah, stupid Fox focusing on Putin occupying Ukrainian territory and things like the United States being stuck between a rock and a hard place as they try to figure out whether to threaten military action and the like to defend the eastern bloc. Anti-Obama omg!!!!

    About time they got with the program and started covering the zero new news breaks in the Malaysian airliner story.

    The plane was obviously hijacked and landed at a remote US airbase in the Indian Ocean to be fitted with equipment for disbursing CHEMTRAILS.

    Found it through a webring. Probably only something familiar to the same set of Internet OGs who used mosaic as their first browser.

    Good piece and I've been thinking for a long time the most likely scenario is some sort of catastrophic failure.

    The plane is flying, but both transponder's with redundant systems stop working, and no radar picks them up. The probability of this happening are incredibly small.

    As opposed to the pilots hijack the plane and fly it like a fighter bomber to avoid radar to land it at a secret base?
