Terror Pings

There has been a tragic event that has taken in place in the loss of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 early Saturday morning.  Not since events in the Bermuda Triangle or Amelia Earhart has the world of aviation been so dumbfounded about exactly what has occurred.

Expert after expert, and armchair sleuths, have given plausible, and sensible, explanations about what has likely occurred

Sounds great, but where is the plane?

 
The plane, a Boeing Airlines 777,  has an exemplary record, and furthermore, planes of this size do not simply disappear.  So while most remain bumfuzzled, appropriately chasing down each and every lead, I formed my opinion quickly, as we posted on the blog Facebook page Saturday night.

Terrorism.

Certainly, I am no aviation expand I have no empirical evidence to back my conclusion; hoping to be proven wrong.  Sad to say, but hopefully the plane crashed in the swallowing jaws of the jungles of Vietnam.

However, the information we do have is mysterious, not easily associated with normal evidence on types of air disasters we have witnessed in the past.  A debris field has not been located, issues with radar have come to light, the transponder was either deliberately turned off or had a new level of malfunction and we have individuals on the plane whose backgrounds warrant further and deeper inquiry.  Cell phones of the passengers have been reported to still be working, which is obviously puzzling.

Among the most conspiratorial theories is the place is in tact, diverted for use at a later date.  Most dangerous in this thought process would be the potential for a nuclear device to be placed on the plane to later become an electro-magnetic pulse weapon.

Obviously, we have yet to collect enough evidence to form an educated opinion on the cause of this tragic event.  However, with the bizarre and wide ranging circumstantial evidence we do possess, it seems clear that the assistance of man was present. 

That man would be a terrorist.  Given that, who paid for planning of and training for the event?  Who is responsible and what message was being sent to whom?

Our government does not seem all that worried about it, but certainly they are.  So am I.

Calling Jack Bauer!
