Ignoring for the sake of argument the tragedy of hundreds of people getting murdered / kidnapped, this is the most captivating news event we've had in a while.
- carlosdp 13y agoSeriously though, nearly every unlikely theory has ended up being the truth. That just doesn't happen very often.
- confluence 13y agoWe really don't know much more than comms went down, no problems were reported, plane went up/down in altitude in the extreme (killing passengers?), headed west into the Indian ocean and either headed north or crashed into the ocean.
- mehwoot 13y agoUm... every unlikely theory except for one is going to turn out to be wrong, and we don't know what happened yet.
- courtneypowell 13y agoI'm curious, is the possibility that the passengers are still alive being discussed by any major news outlet? I have read tons of coverage but the authors implicitly state the passengers are lost.
- lucaspiller 13y agoAfter all that has happened, anything seems possible. Don't give up hope.
- fiatmoney 13y agoThe only circumstances in which they would be alive would be if it was a hijacking, the plane landed relatively safely, and they were being held hostage & incommunicado somewhere. It does seem the unlikeliest of possibilities at this point.
- ekianjo 13y agoHowever, nothing, so far, indicates that the plane has crashed. If the plane has actually managed, ON PURPOSE, to avoid radar detection, it could have as well landed in secret somewhere else.
- thrownaway2424 13y agoTrue, but the only theories under which this would be a logical course of action are fucking stupid. Someone did this to steal a 777 to use in a 9/11-style attack? There are lots of ways to get a 777 that would be WAY easier, such as: leasing one.
- alexeisadeski3 13y agoOr you can just walk into a parked one and fly away with it, like that fellow in Africa ten years ago.
- bsamuels 13y agoRussia invading Ukraine wasn't captivating?
- confluence 13y agoWith unmarked soldiers.
- Mikeb85 13y agoAnd not firing a shot, with a welcoming populace...
- jonah 13y agoAccording to Russian media.
- 001sky 13y agoAnd the vote in a public referendum?
- Mikeb85 13y agoAnd videos from the ground.
- makomk 13y agoTaken by Russian media. The military have cut off all communication links between the Crimea and the outside world and have been stopping independent journalists from filming.
- Mikeb85 13y agoReally? I saw a Vice (American organisation) video from not too long ago (a week ago or less)...
