Vietnam’s Maritime Search and Rescue Services was scrambling ships to
a debris field after a commercial Cathay Pacific airliner Monday en
route to Hong Kong reported a “large amount of metal debris”.
It is possible that MH370 was a 9/11-type plot, in which the target
was the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur? Until recently, they were the
tallest buildings in the world. And even now, they remain a spectacular
centerpiece to Kuala Lumpur’s skyline. You can see why terrorists would
find them a tantalizing target.
Malaysia is a Muslim country, so it would be low on the target list
for many terrorist groups. But then, so are Iraq and Syria, yet both
nations regularly witness mass-casualty attacks against civilians. It’s
also worth noting that Southeast Asia has played host to a number of
terrorist entities for decades.
A vessel in the area confirmed material was floating in the ocean
about 92 kilometres off the southeastern coast of Vietnam in the South
China Sea. The debris is located about 520 kilometres northeast of a
missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370′s last known radar position.
Imagine, if you will, a small device placed under a fuel tank somewhere within the main fuselage. This small device is wired into the aircraft's systems, taking instructions when given, but for the most part inert/inactive.
ReplyDeleteImagine that this device was installed post 9/11 with the sole purpose of preventing ANY aircraft it was installed in from turning into a multi-hundred ton missile.
It's function, should it be awakened by the owners of the aircraft or the .gov's around the world, is to turn the airborne into the not so airborne.
Just imagine.
[sarcasm] I'm sure that no one in the insurance or aircraft industry or any of the world's governments would go so far as to place any such device in ANY aircraft under their control.
No one would do that. Ever. [/sarcasm]
