LightAttack....I highly doubt that the NTSB and Boeing for the matter have ruled out the battery cargo as not a cause of this aircraft crash. Why has Malaysia Airlines not released the load manifest for their cargo? Why will they not state the number of batteries they were shipping? Why did they lie about the batteries being on board in the first place then change their story to say they were shipping batteries but that it was normal for airlines to do so?

Keep in mind that Malaysian Airlines is partly owned by the Malaysian Govt...they want to shift the blame away from them to say Boeing so that the law suits get shifted away from the Airline. Their lawyers have been working over time since the first day...it's all a legal game.

As for CNN we all know that they feed the masses bs with every story to sell ad space at a premium dollar. So yes CNN's bs can be ruled out.
