I wonder why they "ruled out" a bomb so quickly.  Given what we know so far, it still seems like a strong possibility, especially given the fact that there are two debris fields 60 kilometers apart.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

IIRC at one point in that movie the shark eats a helicopter.  :lol:

I could've sworn the guy escaping on the Sea-Doo was Berlusconi.



You know, actors making movies like that would be better off just making porn.

Dude, what the fuck's wrong with you?
Timmy's a homophobe?  :huh:
Siege is not actually gay though, just mentally imbalanced. You don't see me reacting that way to Marty do you?

I'm going to make a collect call to Timmay on my homophone.

Those sound like a grate deal.

I find it dubious there was no Cockpit to ATC distress call.

To me this signals an immediate and catastrophic event.  The electronic signals to Paris (four minutes) is odd on this account.  One would expect a quick fall from the sky in this scenerio.

The other possibility is a catastrophic depressurization of the cabin, which may have killed or knocked out everyone.  The plane then flew slowly into the Atlantic (hence the four minute signal without a cockpit mayday.)

I don't know, ideas formed from different pieces of info I've read.
