I really can not disagree with that statement. There is not one shred of evidence that the lost airliner crashed into the ocean or land.

I've flown across the big pond at least 50 times. Every seat cushion on that plane is an easily detachable flotation device......

And not one of them found anywhere floating in the water.....

It does make a person wonder if they wanted to kill everyone or if they wanted the plane.

[fabian]

still..how is it that the debris did not float? I think they landed someplace and have these poor people hostage.

[ALPAPilot]

and planes just don't hit the water and easily descend below the waves without stuff coming out.

Yes they do; nothing came off the U.S. Airways plane that landed in the Hudson.

Judging by your handle, you would know — what’s the likelihood of spotting debris? Didn’t it go down in open sea? The ocean is an awful big place.

[ZULU]

Its probably in Iran or Pakistan being retrofitted as a flying bomb.

[Vermont Lt]

It is right where our navy put it.

I think I need more tinfoil.

I seem to remember reading a few years ago that our Navy had “wired” a microphone grid spanning all the Oceans so we could track Soviet subs. This network should nave heard the plane impact the Ocean where ever it came down and any pings from it as well.

I know it sounds crazy, but so did the Glomar Explorer . . .

You don't know that...actually both the (low hanging) engines came off of a plane a third of the size of a 777 and it took a hero pilot to do it.

[Salamander]

Agree.

This network should have heard something and triangulated the sound to a specific location.

[DJlaysitup]

Sculley...an actual hero pilot...landed his plane in a virtual Mill-pond with rescue vessels all around.

Note: the Hudson is a river...slow moving at that...it’s not an ocean.

[Kirkwood]

I'm unsure about stuff coming off, but stuff certainly came out of the plane. Here we see some stuff floating, but even more so when it sank and rolled with the doors open.

[DJlaysitup]

Truth is...you do the same that Sculley did and you do it 100 miles away from the coast of Belize...and all those “wing walkers” go into the water. Between the drownings and the sharks you probably lose 40-50% of your passengers.

[DJlaysitup]

Yep...much more important than my previous post...and lets remember - a 777 is a MUCH larger airplane.

[Uncle Chip]

You do understand that everyone onboard except the pilot were asphyxiated within the first 20 minutes of the hijacking, don’t you???

After hitting the water there would have been no departure from the plane.

[Vermont Lt]

Top men are on it. Top men.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Pings from another man-made source...like the CIA? Talk about engineered misdirection...I’m betting that plane is thousands of miles from where they are looking.
