I hadn't thought of this.

It would explain quite a bit. Especially the PM wanting to say to people shut up grieve and take your money.

Definitely, to me he seems to be wondering if he will hit a whale when he crashes the plane

Knock it off. The poster has a valid point. There is no evidence from the plane, meaning parts/pieces, but all of a sudden, the Malaysian gov wants to come out and say it crashed in the ocean. Even the families are not buying in to it, fully. Even they are saying they want more proof.

No need to be such jerks about a poster's opinion.

Malaysia was so secreitive, afterall, I can't blame a nation not wanting to air THIS
if it really happened...imagine, negotiating with a pilot over his beloved political leader to be freed.
Hmm.
It could happen...


Sorry, 3 Wolves in Snow...couldn't give u yet another rep for the above post.

Urban Dictionary: tinfoil hat

Quote:
Tin Foil Hat, also tinfoil hat, or tfh, a general term for a piece of headgear made from one or more sheets of tin foil, aluminium foil, or other similar material. Some people wear the hats in the belief that they act to shield the brain from such influences as electromagnetic fields, or against mind control and/or mind reading. The concept has become a popular stereotype and term of derision; in Internet culture, the phrase serves as a byword for paranoia.
Or a byword for conspiracy theorist.

If this happened? The passengers would be home with their families right now.
There is no way a government would let 239 people die just to keep a prisoner in jail for a mere 5 years.

Of course this would explain the words uttered by the captain "All right, good night" before he turned off all communications.
No...no, it doesn't explain why he used a salutation that is common the world over. Like maybe he used it because, like, it's common the world over, maybe.

And the co-pilot said those words, not the pilot.
