U.S. Destroyer Joins Hunt For Vanished Malaysia Airlines Flight [No crash confirmation]
TIME ^ | 03/08/2014 | Sam Frizell

The United States dispatched a destroyer to join the massive international search for the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 that went missing Saturday morning with 239 on board, as it appeared increasingly likely the plane had crashed into the ocean.

Air traffic controllers lost track of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 370 shortly after it left Kuala Lumpur en route to Beijing, carrying 239 passengers and crew, half of which were Chinese nationals. Vietnam’s military said a search team discovered a 12-mile long oil slick in the Gulf of Thailand that may be the downed Boeing 777, but there had been no official confirmation the plane had crashed as of Saturday night.

The LA Times article states "they were not ruling out terrorism — or any other causes —." Nowhere does the article state "terrorism" was the cause of the incident.

Let the pros make the determination.

Did you read my other post about the Malysian flight in 1977 being deliberately crashed by terrorists?

I think it is terrorism. I am not the only one. Prove me wrong.

Don’t these aircraft have emergency radio beacons? No one has picked it up yet?

"MH370’s last known location....Gulf of Thailand....only 250 feet deep at its deepest point.
"...USS Pinckney...The U.S. Navy estimates it will be there within 24 hours."

Dude, you are ON it - thanks.

The above link has statements to the media directly from Malaysia Airlines. I don’t know if your question is addressed.

“Don’t these aircraft have emergency radio beacons?”

They do but there’s no telling if it was released and not tangled in the wreckage if the plane crashed or that it survived. They’re durable devices but not like a black box.

Correct...one of the main reason they gave him a GCM.

Believe Capt McVay committed suicide in the ‘60s....
Bringing in the Japanese Sub Commander was a cheap shot and unprecedented.

Talk about being ‘judged’ by people who had absolutely no clue as to what you had been through....

There was a Tommy Lee Jones/Samuel L. Jackson movie that used the same scenario of the Govt calling in a ‘Foreign’ CO at an American GCM.....

At the end they portrayed the ‘Enemy’ as looking remorseful and saluting his former ‘Enemy’.
I took that as a ‘Sorry about that BUT....’

The crew of a Vietnamese Navy ship said they saw it go into the sea south of Phú Quốc Island.

I would bet that the USA is already heavily involved in the determination of what happened and, if deemed necessary, the fabrication of an official story. Moslems will NOT be implicated.

Also it was a Malaysian plane. Malaysia is a Mohammedan country.

You know the government won’t even call the Texas Army post massacre terrorism?

Actually it wasn't terrorism except in modern politically correct speech. It was Moslem Jihad. Terrorism is a specific phenomenon historically. It is essentially use of random violence by a GOVERNMENT against its own citizens to keep them off balance and unable to form an opposition while also methodically killing off those perceived as actual enemies of the government. Le Terreur was the Revolutionary French attack on the population. The Soviets instituted their own Terror, as did the Chinese Communists and the Cambodian Khmer Rouge, etc. What Mohammedans are doing is not designed to terrorize the population. It is designed to kill infidels and ultimately to conquer non Moslem countries. It is Religious War. Moslems don't care if their target populations are terrorized into a coma or not. The saracens just want to kill infidels.
