How quickly we forget! Or is it that what we can’t explain we don’t want to think about.
Ten weeks now.
Still nothing.
The headlines have gone. The relatives still know nothing and are struggling to find closure. The Malaysian government wants to draw a line now and move on. Death certificates have been / are being issued. Malaysian Airlines losses have increased sharply. The discussion is shifting to how to ensure live tracking and preventing this happening again.
But preventing WHAT from happening again?
When there is no plausible explanation, the implausible is no longer implausible. In fact, some implausible explanation now becomes certain.
The latest implausible suggestion now is that the plane was accidentally shot down in the South China Sea by US/Thai jets and everything subsequently was disinformation to cover that up:
Daily Mail: Cawthorne makes the incredible assertion that the plane was shot down accidentally over the South China Sea by a joint US-Thai joint strike fighter team, and the searchers sent in the wrong direction as part of a cover up.
He describes how a man, while working on an oil rig in the ocean at about the same time the plane’s transponder went off, saw a burning plane and how this was right near the military exercise being conducted with personel from various other countries.
He claims that these countries may have then sent searchers in the wrong direction in order to cover their tracks.
‘After all, no wreckage has been found in the South Indian Ocean, which in itself is suspicious.’
But I am sticking with the most plausible implausibility that the plane was deliberately destroyed and “disappeared” to prevent certain cargo and certain passengers from reaching Beijing. That control over the flight was exercised remotely, that the crew and passengers were incapacitated by the excursion to 45,000 feet and the plane then sent on a flight to nowhere to disappear in as intact a manner as possible.
Maybe we will never know.
But somebody does.
