Some guest on Coast 2 Coast last night said that there were 20 engineers from Freescale on board. Since the plane was headed toward Diego Garcia, he instantly jumped to the conclusion that the US government hijacked the plane to kidnap these engineers because of something something NSA something something wiretaps something something government contracts.

I'm pretty sold on that conclusion

Perhaps those engineers were all for 9/11 truth

If it was a more aggressive country they may've just shot it down preemptively and nipped this tantalizing mystery in the bud.

They said the oldest data was February 8th. They also declined to say whether the data that was deleted has anything to do with the flight sim game. They are probably just looking for horse porn or any pro-Anwar material.

If this is ruled pilot suicide or terrorism, I don't think the airline or Boeing will have to pay as much in lawsuits, so people will be pushing for those theories.

It appears the horse porn radicalized the pilots.

This deleted data thing seems like such horseshit. Everyone "deletes data," it's called throwing poo poo out when you are done with it to clear up space.

Wolf Blitzer/Sean Hannity: "Is data deletion a sign of a coverup?"

Another old fathead: "It's basically impossible to delete data permanently unless you put glue in the hard drive anyway."

The only explanation I can come up with is that this guy was/is such an insufferable sperglord, that his father made it his dying wish that everyone he came in contact with in a professional capacity should troll his son as hard as they could for as long as they could.

My favorite part: "interestingly, my father was a fan of the TV show, Star Trek, created by Gene Roddenberry because he knew that the technology portrayed on the show had already been developed. He told me he was baffled as to why Roddenberry would be allowed to display the technology in such an open matter."

I saw it on some news story maybe a week ago. He had a pretty sweet 3-monitor setup but aside from that it wasn't anything too mind blowing.

It was actually a 4-monitor setup (lower one for flight instruments) and a yoke/throttle/rudder pedals. Nothing any flight-sim nerd with money doesn't already have. I guess the FBI goes nuts when people get in a car wreck and find out they have an iRacing setup with a hydraulic motion-seat

I'm loving jealous that he had a job that he loved so much that he'd pretend to do it while he was at home. How many people have dreams about being at work and wake up in the morning completely pissed off? Not this guy. Way to go, dude.

Except for the part where he likely killed everyone.

He probably didn't sim boring rear end 8 hour passenger flights. If a cab driver plays a lot of F1 racing games you wouldn't say he's doing what he loves because he's a professional driver. Maybe he really wanted to be a stunt pilot, and one day he just snapped and started trying to do loop de loops with the 777.

If I know sim players, there's like a 90% chance that's exactly what he did. With a dude from Serbia role playing ATC.
