Well poo poo. CNN and others are reporting that there were people using stolen passports from Austria and Italy on the plane. Italian foreign ministry confirms there were no actual Italian citizens on the flight.

E: Austrian ministry says Austrian citizen who was supposedly on the plane is actually safe, in Australia right now, and had their passport stolen.

So what you're saying is justice was served in an ironic twist.

Yep if it was cops though. You'd be a hero.

Oh well there are no fire trucks in the ocean this time. Maybe some speedboats will chop people up? We can go after the speed boat people then!

Because blowing up a plane of irrelevant people in the middle of nowhere sends a STRONG message. Especially when you don't step forward and claim responsibility for the attack.

Jesus Christ, I don't know if people are this stupid or if terrorists are that stupid. There are so many better targets people could blow up / attack to cause fear that I never got the idea of bombing a plane. The 9/11 hijack though, that was a brilliant use.

Someone mentioned earlier the pilot only had like 18 hours under his belt too. If that's true, maybe not a good idea to have him take such a long flight.

Are there seatbelts on the toilet in case the plane starts crashing but you're still pooping

No. From what I remember some guy flew up when a plane hit a pack of turbulence once and broke his neck and landed covered in his own poo poo. Maybe I imagined this, but I remember hearing / reading this somewhere.

I have never see a plane toilet with a seatbelt.

I'm not so good at reading so if it was 18k yeah. No idea, probably plane bullshit or aliens :tinfoil:. I'm not surprised China has no idea where the plane is though. I'd guess they have a sub par radar system for travel that has highly underpaid people working it and is built with parts made in China.

Meaning cheap lovely materials.

Everyone's favorite mystery crash TWA 800 - fuel vapors ignite in the center tank from low level electrical arcing / Ufo encounter / meteorite strike / Navy laser / CIA bomb / terrorist missile / swamp gas / Foo Fighter.

Definitely the Foo Fighters. Their music was too much for that plane to handle.

Skipjack posted:

it was the other plane that had the damaged tail, the missing plane lost part of its wing tip. If the repairs weren't carried out correctly, which isn't unheard of, i guess that increases the odds of this being a catastrophic failure of the airframe in flight.

Again underpaid labor. What do you expect?

E: As for the passports, I'm more willing to believe it was drug traffickers than anything else.

Yes. They spun around and around and around for like an hour before running out of fuel and everyone passing out from the Gs and dying.

I hope they find the blackbox, because I'm waiting to see what hilariously stupid thing a pilot did today to screw up the 20 redundant systems that modern planes have to prevent them from crashing. The Russian pilot that let his kids try to fly was pretty good, but the French pilots who managed to stall out their (fully functional) plane is really the winner right now.

I'm still wagering money on blowjobs from some skeezys they brought up to impress in the cockpit.

For FOUR hours? Must have been a hell of a blowjob. The arrangement for the skeezys must have been to give blowjobs to everyone on the plane, starting with first class and then moving down.

More like 20 minutes of working them over with booze, then 15 of beezys, then about 3 hours of "poo poo where are we?"

In my mind this is the most likely possibility, but then why take all those people with you? Why not just wait til you land and put a gun in your mouth? Of course, people who commit suicide don't always think rationally so I probably just answered my own question.

eh who knows? Maybe it was terrorism prevented by a guy who was going to commit suicide anyways so he figured he might as well be a suicidal hero.
