Stolen passports on missing Malaysian passenger jet

[cosmicone]

37. Very few planes have suddenly disappeared at cruising altitude

Air India 182 from Montreal to Delhi via London was lost in the sky near the coast of Ireland. Cause? Bomb planted by Sikh terrorists. (June 23, 1985)

Pan Am 103 - a 747 from London to JFK was lost over Lockerbie, Scotland. Cause? Bomb planted by Libyan/Syrian agents. (December 21, 1988)

EgyptAir 990 from Los Angeles to NY to Cairo was lost over the Atlantic on October 31, 1999. Cause? Apparently a severely distressed and psychotic first officer purposely ditched the plane when the pilot left to use the restroom.

Air France 447 - An Airbus A340 was lost over the Atlantic on a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. Cause? Pilot error in the face of catastrophic weather. Distress signals were received.

On both AI182 and PA103 cockpit voice recorders, there was normal chatter followed by a sudden silence. The planes were blown up to bits in mid-air and no one could even react.

Since in this particular case, no distress signals were received at all, probability of it being a terrorist act is very high. Actually, I'd venture a guess that it is a terrorist act unless proven otherwise. The Sikh terrorists in the Air India case were trained by a certain intelligence agency of a terrorist country that tries to pretend it is civilized. The same agency's hand has been slapped by the Chinese a few times for providing help to the Uighurs (pronounced "weeger"s).

The days of stolen passports will be over now. Each passport will contain biometric data that will be mandatorily matched wherever the passport is presented to officials of any country.
