I found this article on Flight 370 quite interesting.

From Slate:
A “Startlingly Simple Theory” About the Missing Airliner is Sweeping the Internet. It’s Wrong.
Goodfellow’s account is emotionally compelling, and it is based on some of the most important facts that have been established so far. And it is simple—to a fault. Take other major findings of the investigation into account, and Goodfellow’s theory falls apart. For one thing, while it’s true that MH370 did turn toward Langkawi and wound up overflying it, whoever was at the controls continued to maneuver after that point as well, turning sharply right at VAMPI waypoint, then left again at GIVAL. Such vigorous navigating would have been impossible for unconscious men.
Goodfellow’s theory fails further when one remembers the electronic ping detected by the Inmarsat satellite at 8:11 on the morning of March 8. According to analysis provided by the Malaysian and United States governments, the pings narrowed the location of MH370 at that moment to one of two arcs, one in Central Asia and the other in the southern Indian Ocean. As MH370 flew from its original course toward Langkawi, it was headed toward neither. Without human intervention—which would go against Goodfellow’s theory—it simply could not have reached the position we know it attained at 8:11 a.m. |

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

I'll have to repeat what I've been saying on facebook all along: As long as there isn't any positive evidence of where the plane went, I say it was abducted by an alien spacecraft!
You can't prove me wrong (just yet)!

Most local conspiracies are less interesting. And involve distrust of the government. |
