dread is really the best way to describe it. waves of dread.

Tell 239 people on that flight they were better off flying than sitting in traffic in a Chevy Celebrity. Tell them!

The passport issue could be a distraction. For it to come up so soon after the plane went missing is suspect.


If passports were not detected at the time before the plane took off what made them detectable after it went missing ?

The people pronounced on the flight had press conferences they had their identity stolen.

Stolen passports are not uncommon, esp in SE Asia.

obama shot the plane down as a distraction from his inability to contend with Ubermensch Putin. the two of them have been having battles of the will through their White House/Kremlin Palantirs every night, and it has been wearing on Obama's mind

How do stolen passports get by security and onto the plane if they were checked? How else could the ID's of those stolen passports be known if they weren't checked?

Stolen passports on the Malaysian airline -- How is that not known before they get on the plane and then known after the plane went missing?


I take it its just a visual check of the Passports on entry. Interpol checks them when the plane is listed as missing and there they are, stolen passports. Too bad the airlines are not allowed to use the system Interpol has to track stolen id's.

INTERPOL has report millions of passports weren't run against their database from airlines. You're fishing up the wrong creek.

Do you realize stolen passports in Thailand are insanely common and the first thing you're told to watch for when there?

Right this can't be a real question. It could have been a visual check only, or even the real systems-integrated check because a stolen passport can easily be used without any problems until it is reported. Obviously.

In this case, the government probably attempted to reach out to family members only to find out the person wasn't on the plane. I mean, I go through airport without a single soul talking to me until I am already seated since you can do everything on the machines. Schengen area but still. I took a bus out of Schegen once and it was just the driver of the bus writing down passport numbers.

Also, for the US and the European Union this pre-check for travelers already exists and is generated as soon as a person buys an international ticket. When the person goes through customs or immigration there is a risk analysis report for that particular person. Of course, again, if a passport is not reported stolen they would not have the real information.

Look on the bright side. First of all, nobody on the ground was killed. An incident like this, over a populated urban center? That right there, that’s some sort of minor miracle. Plus, neither plane was full. What, the 737 was something like, I believe, two-thirds full? Yeah? Maybe three-quarters? At any rate, what you’re left with casualty-wise is the fiftieth-worst air disaster. Tied for fiftieth, actually. There were actually fifty-three crashes through history that are just as bad or worse. Tenerife. Anybody ever hear of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands? In 1977, two fully loaded 747s crashed into each other on Tenerife. You know how big a 747 is? Way bigger than a 737 -- and we’re talking two of them! Mind-boggling, really. Almost six hundred people died. Any of you ever even heard of that? I doubt it! Because you know why? People move on. They move on. And we will, too. We’ll move on. We will get past this. Because that’s what human beings do! We survive, and-and we survive and we overcome. So. Yeah

They are on an island and will be rescued and huge world wide celebrities in a few years before leaving to go back to the island where all plot lines will cease to be coherent and will only be explained by it being magic.

As I understand it, law enforcement can check the Interpol database for stolen passports, not the airlines.


Missing plane though is mysterious. All sorts of scenarios could be had. China just dealt with a terrorist attack the other day, this could tie in.

this.


or along those lines, the intellectual capital of the 20 techies on board are too good to be left to a CIA front company like Freescale. So, they've been rounded up from this flight and are revealing secrets post haste.

Pentagon Data Suggests Jet Didn't Explode: New York Times


"Preliminary surveillance data" examined by the Pentagon suggests the missing Malaysia Airlines jet did not explode over the South China Sea, according to The New York Times.

The newspaper cited a U.S. government official who spoke on the condition of anonymity as suggesting "a system that looks for flashes around the world" had not identified any sign of a blast.





http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/mis...k-times-n48186




That report seems to conflict with this one, unless a plane can disintegrate without making a flash:


Missing Malaysian jet may have disintegrated in mid-air: source



Officials investigating the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines jetliner with 239 people on board suspect it may have disintegrated in mid-flight, a senior source said on Sunday, as Vietnam reported a possible sighting of wreckage from the plane.
