There are over 50,000 satellites covering the earth, and some of them are bound to be used specifically for the tracking of planes. If it is missing, they are claiming ignorance. If it is shot down, they are claiming ignorance.
More missing planes, more stupid conspiracy theories will pop up. For me it’s just… abangan!
There is a so-called: “Devil’s Triangle” in that Pacific area. Like the “Bermuda Triangle” in the Caribbean. Ships, planes, and other transports disappeared there without a trace, in that Bermuda Triangle.
Most has not been found; others survived. Telling tales; there are weird happenings in that Bermuda Triangle. Airplanes instruments, like : gyroscopes, compass, etc…do not work. Also, electronic communications do not work also. And there is a :”vortex of cloud” that makes you lost your sense of time and space…
Are we really alone on this Planet Earth? Or some advanced Beings looking for our development…
Well, if there are aliens… They made the right choice in abducting people in Southeast Asia.
Considering its overpopulated.
Wow, how considerate of you.
Another deliberate (improvised) terrorist attack on a plane, just like Malaysian Airlines planes?
Or just another case of deliberate business incompetence and cost-cutting?
@ D for, who knows, maybe both? with the West’s big boys getting bad raps and the Fail-ippines air-lines famously cutting corners and not caring about whether or not one of their planes goes down, it provides a perfect cover for an intelligence agency to send another country or intelligence agency a message while the rest of the world feels rightuos,but remains clueless,when it blames the airlines.
after being on more than a few Cebu-Pacific flights and getting off the plane and hearing the clanking of the engines as they idle down.it was apparent to me that the engines main bearing that turns the turbine blades days were numbered and had seen much better days.”YIKES!I was on that plane, OMG!”.
