So is the Mona Lisa...but who is going to buy it? There are a relatively small number of 777's in existence so there would be no way you could just re-paint it and use it.
I do at this point.
Not if it hit the water at high speed.
The debris/oil slick would have dissipated in the open ocean, possibly within hours before anyone started looking.
Because the perp(s) are fishfood.
Thanks for indulging me and responding to my post.
I guess I'm having a hard time understanding how/why this could have happened. It seems so strange that the person at the controls was able to do as much as he did and didn't have an end game. Conversely, if the end game was just to crash it, why would he fly for hours first?
As soon as I heard the transponder had been turned off, I believed it had to be something malicious. But even that doesn't add up with all the other evidence unless he could land it somewhere intact.
The Malaysians have to know much more than they're saying and that's super frustrating.
