Yep, that's the one. The feds never did acknowledge it was terrorism, did they? It seems that at some point they said the pilot had sanity issues.

For me, that was a turning point. After that, I know longer trusted anything the government said, without it being verified.

You certainly are not a trusting person. You probably wouldn’t believe it if Obama said this was another case of “workplace violence”.

“Apparently, the plane disappeared from radar after a couple of hours in flight, but continued to fly for some time after contact was lost.”

Haven’t read all the reports, but what do you mean “fly for some time” after contact was lost.

While enroute at altitude, radio calls and electronic communication between the airliner and ATC or the company are infrequent, so how would “they” know contact was lost?

“”Back when that TWA flight went down in Long Island Sound””

You’re confusing the TWA 800 crash in 1996 with the Egyptian Air crash in 1999 -

“”Nearly two years before the Sept. 11 terror attacks, Egypt Air Flight 990 took off from Kennedy Airport bound for Cairo and inexplicably crashed into the Atlantic off Nantucket, Mass., killing all 217 aboard.
U.S. investigators determined the relief co-pilot, Gamil el-Batouty, deliberately crashed the plane. Those findings were released just five months before Sept. 11.

Batouty’s last words, according to investigators, were in the form of Muslim prayer in Arabic: “I rely on Allah.” He said it 11 times before the aircraft began its sudden descent from 33,000 feet to 16,000 feet.

Sorry, took me a while to go back and find it:

“The pilot is Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, a Malaysian national aged 53.

He joined Malaysia Airlines in 1981 and has 18,365 flying hours.

The first officer is fellow Malaysian Fariq Ab. Hamid, 27.

He joined the airline in 2007 and has 2,763 flying hours.”

Why has no one considered the obvious. This airliner flew over NORTH KOREA. Things have been real tense there lately, and it may have been some nervous officer at a SAM installation that ID’d the airliner as a bogey and fired away.

Stolen Passport means stolen identity

And who needs a Stolen identity to be on a flight?

Well for one, someone on the no fly list for being a potential terrorist...

Thanks.

The globe is not 100% covered by radar so a loss of radar contact doesn’t necessarily mean anything.

The jet could have flown out of range of coverage or dropped off due to catastrophic failure. Who knows.

So a ‘suggestion’ that the jet flew for two hours (what suggestion? Where did the ‘suggestion’ come from?), doesn’t suggest anything unless you knew the radar coverage in that region.

Yeah, we all know how efficient foreign air carriers are, how professional their immigration authorities operate, and how calm and serene the corporate offices are immediately after an airliner goes down.

I remember that Air Egypt was taking the US NTSB to court to change the report that indicated it was most likely flown into the ocean on purpose.
They wanted everyone to believe that it was a series of mechanical failures that could never have occurred (because of the back-ups and safety measures) all happening at the same time and the pilot screaming “Allahua snackbar” was just a coincidence.
Then we had 9/11.
