What's your Flight 370 conspiracy theory?

[briggsy's girl]

watching the news tonight, there was mention that the tickets related to those passports had been linked to individuals from (a country with a name that is escaping me at this point) - but that the men were trying to get to germany to seek refuge. i have no idea how they came to that conclusion (i had DD talking at me) - i am guessing something to do with identifying them through security footage or something, perhaps someone has come forward... i honestly don't know - but it does seem to fit with the search for the cheapest flight that was mentioned in a previous comment

i am trying to stay distanced from it all of it - it's heartbreaking for the families not knowing what is going on - i can't imagine that feeling

Wormhole. It's the only plausible option. We're about to enter the next phase of civilisation.

A small part of my conscious mind thinks it possible. It kicks off a world of imagination though.

BG - I think at least one guy from Iran travelling on a stolen passport has been cleared of terrorist links, most likely an asylum seeker.

I've been interested, but trying not to be emotional about it also. My girls are supposed to fly with a cheap airline here in June, & that's the last thing I want to think about.

I know people are thinking a mid air explosion, but surely they'd have found some debris by now. Some are thinking a ditch landing (went down into the water), but that doesn't explain the ringing phones... if there is truth to that story... I'm thinking if there are phones ringing, that its on land somewhere. In that case there will possibly be survivors if they can find it... But if they're on land why was communication lost. The only way I think it could've just disappeared off radar was the explosion theory.

Its frustrating me that there is nothing at all at this stage, it most be so hard for the families...

With the phones ringing, I read today that a technical person said it is normal when calling internationally for a phone to do a "fake" ring while the service provider searches for the phone.

Personally I think they're at the bottom of the ocean somewhere. They may have done a smooth landing on the water, well as smooth as it gets, and went down as a whole. Although a lot of plane piece are light and probably would have broken off anyway.

I would like to believe if they are on land at least one of 239 (or however many there was) would have got a call out by now if they were all alive.

Yes with the Methane bubbles a contributing factor - is no one interested in Methane Bubbles as the culprit? :-)

I find it interesting that 'we' have become totally fine with the risks involved in car transportation, but yet still are pretty wary of airplanes especially around events like this. After events like this people always worry about airplane travel, but after lots of car accidents (e.g. many fatalities over long weekend) we don't all start worrying about car travel. The statistics for air travel are much better.

"Some interesting statistics about air travel:

Fatality rate (commerical flight): 4.3 deaths per 1,000,000 flight hours
Odds of being killed in a single flight: 1 in 13.57 millon
Survival rate of crashes involving fatalities: 24%
Likelihood of dying in a car accident vs plane: 62 times more likely
Likelihood of dying in motorbike accident vs plane: 2178 times more likely"

I think that has something to do with a misplaced belief/hope/desperation/rationale that we are more in control in the car. We are already on the ground.
In a plane, 20,000 feet in the air, once that catastrophe happens, you are either in the middle of an ocean, or a fireball in the side of mountain... We are so totally without means of effecting our fate that it becomes much more scary a situation.

Of course, as you said, the reality of the probability is much different, but the mind is more powerful.

It is very sad and very fascinating all at the same time. I actually know someone who was close friends with 2 of the Aussies on the flight....I am doubtful of a hijack scenario as surely a number of people would have gotten a text off to someone at the very least. Whatever happened had to have been very unexpected and very quick.
I am very doubtful of them still being alive somewhere also, (though I want them to be), it just doesn't make any sense that a rather large plane could land somewhere and not be noticed - it's just so unlikely.
I think like that French flight years ago, they will find the plane eventually somewhere deep in the ocean.
I don't subscribe to the various theories of various countries shooting the plane down....but then I don't think politically.....
