What are you doing this weekend 3 Olives? I'm in the Dallas area for a bit and bored. Maybe we can get some beer? *not gay though*

Ginger Man or Ft. Worth Flying Saucer are great beer places in/near Dallas.

So we are approaching day two and they still know absolutely nothing according the the news conference going on right now. They are saying they have yet to find a single piece of debris and the oil slicks are still unconfirmed to be from the plane.

What the gently caress is going on there? Can't they at least easily check to see if it was jet fuel, wouldn't that at least be a little progress?

unscrupulous ships dump heavy waste oil sometimes, maybe they already did. maybe that's what it is, i meant


you gonna grab a beer w/ no.6?

They just wrapped up the latest press conference, first there were two stolen passports, now there are at least 4 and they are reviewing the entire manifest.

All indications point to some sort of catastrophic failure at cruising altitude since there were not even automated messages from the plane so there isn't looking good terrorism wise.

if it was terrorists

terrorist1: success, terrorist2, soon we will crash into the ocean and die; but we four, and our cause, will live forever due to the messages you have planted

terrorist2: gently caress I thought you were planting those

yeah you could do that but then what? turn off the transponder, fly below radar and... plunge into the ocean? land on a secret runway in the side of a volcano? the fact that there hasn't been a 777 reported slamming into the side of a skyscraper in Beijing sort of suggests the plane hasn't been hijacked and they would have run out of fuel by now if they were just buzzing around in it.

people travelling on stolen passports are more likely to be illegal migrants than terrorists and the fact that there happened to be people on this flight using false documents just shows how common the practice is. add on top of that it is extremely unusual, statistically speaking, for a plane to be brought down by terrorists, as opposed to the myriad of mechanical, structural and human error scenarios to choose from, and its looking remote that this was a terror attack.
