(40,416 posts)The only thing we know is what was first reported. That, and that they are now apparently searching just about everywhere. I expect them to drive down my road any moment now (here in west rural Michigan).
Whoever's handling this is screwing up big time. They are releasing no information so the press is reporting all sorts of conflicting reports based on unconfirmed anonymous sources, which the Malayan government then disputes. As I wrote above and in other threads, this is a clusterfuck, especially for those who had friends and family on that plane.
Meanwhile, there are people in the Blogosphere coming up with ever increasing inanities about what really happened. It boggles the mind.
My opinion, based on what is known and confirmed, plus the elapsed time since we knew it, is that the plane has crashed. Where? Who knows?
High jacking? Sabotage? Mechanical failure? Suicidal pilots (probably not that)? Who knows?
Anybody who says they do is making shit up at this point.
Yup? A clusterfuck.
