Wasn't that the warning that came out around the Olympics? Something about toothpaste.

Tragic event?

Maybe the plane landed in Shangri-La.

Maybe some sort of Asian Galt's Gulch.

Default Missing Malaysia Airlines plane pilots under police investigion

Quote:
The two pilots at the helm of the missing Malaysia Airlines passenger jet which vanished a week ago with 239 people on board are being investigated amid fears the plane was hijacked.

Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, and Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27, are the subject of a police investigation, airline executives have admitted, and could have their homes searched.

Police in Malaysia have said they are looking at the psychological background of the pilots, their family life and connections as one line of inquiry into flight MH370's disappearance.

Here's my theory:

The Bermuda Triangle drifted over to the Indian Ocean.

The Passengers are now having lunch with some World War 2 US airmen.

Extra-Terrestrials will deliver them to us at the Devil's Tower in Wyoming.

It sounds like state sponsored terrorism. Somebody wants a plane and is going to use it for something.

And of course, Benghazi was not a terrorist attack either; it was because of an "offensive video."

Only problem, as I see it, is that terrorists usually want everyone to know who did it and why. No one has claimed responsibility, so far. What would be the point if we never learn who and why?

The plane simply "vanished" while cruising at 35,000 feet. It's a Boeing 777, which has been in service for close to 20 years and has only been involved in one fatal accident ever and only three people out of close to 300 onboard died in that accident.

There were multiple passengers on the flight who were flying with stolen passports. The flight was going from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Stolen passports raise possibility of terrorism in missing flight - CNN.com
There were TWO stolen passports.
