The Mystery of Missing Malaysia Airlines 370

[Caliga]

Caliga's pal that found amelia earhart's plane needs to get on this case.

If the plane had exploded in the air would there more likely to be debris floating as opposed to a plane landing in the ocean intact?

The two stolen passports are connected to tickets purchased by two Iranian men.

The two stolen passports are connected to tickets purchased by two Iranian men.

From what I've read, the tickets were purchased by an Iranian intermediary from a Thai ticket agent - with whom he did regular business over the years, the whole process being fairly standard for that place - and the holders of the tickets (from CCTV footage, as related by a Malaysian investigator) were Black and likely from Africa.

If that is true, I'm guessing they were illegal immigrants rather than terrorists.

If it was terrorism, arent they doing it wrong by keeping their acts a secret?

It was breaking news when I saw it so the details were not known to me.  I still doubt terrorism though.  I'm still thinking it was simply a terrible accident.

If they were cheaters, God picked a shitty time and place to smite them.

I would imagine it will ultimately turn out that the plane was shot down by the Chinese.

They aren't boastful.

[Valmy]

They are quiet humble sorts of terrorists.  They just want to be left alone to terrorize in peace and I get that.

I suppose it's possible that a terrorist group has claimed responsibility, and it hasn't been reported for some reason.  Perhaps they only informed the Chinese government and the Chinese haven't spread the word, or they have made some public announcement but nobody picked it up or took it seriously.

[Jacob]

I read that a hitherto unknown Muslim Uighur group claimed responsibility with a PDF statement some time after the fact, but that the Chinese government dismissed the claim as being non-credible.

You know, even of they did do it I think there's a certain beauty to dismissing and then completely ignoring the claim.

Maybe the terrorists aren't saying anything because none of them survived the crash?

You know what's even more beautiful?  Publicly ignore the claim; secretly arrest the entire group
