There was a woman on a yacht too that reported seeing a burning plane...I can't imagine they could cover up all these people being silenced...or could they!?
Its too strange but its not like there hasnt been precidents, the marie celeste and other disappearences like it, I dont believe that its been cover ups throughout human history and most of the modern conspiracy theories about weapons platforms in the space and gangsta like elites, national or international, performing their own version of neighbourhood drive bys with space age lazers or jamming and redirection equipment couldnt have existed back then.
I'm still undecided as to what the hell is going on, I do think that when major events are happening internationally its mad that coincidentially some huge mystery story would emerge to grab the headlines away from the tension and potential for major, major wars breaking out.
I also believe that its very possible, still, that this has been some incredibly ballsy action by organised crime, I think the criminals are among the few who realise that the world is nothing like as organised and orderly a place as anyone assumes (and a hell of a lot less organised and ordered as the average conspiracy theorist proposes). This could be in the order of the kidnapping of the 200 kids from that christian school by the muslims, although whoever was responsible for this airline kidnapping was not as much of a publicity seeking douchebag as the guys responsible to the 200 kids being kidnapped (another story which disappeared of the radar too).
The coverage of the recent ISIS offensive in Iraq has been interesting because some of the has focused, I think rightly, upon the money and resources and planning involved in this effort, going from 43 million to billions in the last couple of days, whatever way the offensive plays out in terms of the terrorists ability to hold the terrority they have seized they have the funds to wage campaigns like any state for as long as any state pretty much. Its all been massive criminal business moves. Die Hard was more on the money than anyone could have guessed.
