Malaysian police have expanded an investigation into the missing plane to include ground crew, caterers and the farmers who picked four tons of mangosteens, a tropical fruit, that were in the hold.

Despite failing to find any suspicious evidence about the passengers or crew, Khalid Abu Bakar, Malaysia’s police chief, said he was confident that the case would be solved. He said police traced the mangosteens, a tangy Asian fruit with leathery skin around juicy white flesh, to an orchard in the city of Muar and examined both the farmers and the Chinese importers.

“Imagine how many people we must interview to rule out sabotage,” he said.

“We tracked down who plucked the fruits, who packed and shipped them out, and who put them on the plane. Then, we had to see who was to receive them in China and who paid for it, and how much.”

This was useless the day it happened. ONE word is the reason...MUSLIMS.

SNAP!!!

It’s always the fruit. I’ve never seen a fruit I can trust.

General McInerney needs to be interviewed again. He made more sense than this rubbish - and no-one of substance ever knocked down his argument/data.

Strange about those lithium batteries in the cargo hold - no-one pursued that angle either. They could have been camouflagefor a remote controlled bomb.

“Mangosteen”...doesn’t he play a mean jazz saxophone?

Oh, I guess not:

Isn't that what was about to happen when Capt. Clarence Oveur, Roger, and Victor ate the fish?

(Slaps forehead) I can see now that Airplane! was prophetic. Maybe they ought to use that as a training film.

Still searching under the street lamp because the light is better there. What a bunch of politically correct maroons.
