:biggrin: I think that CNN must be reading our posts!  :biggrin:

That came straight off the front page, headline article. . .

Things we've already concluded and well ahead of them!  :biggrin:

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Just heard something about a bomb threat having been called into the airline 4 days prior to the accident happening but missed the story.  Has anyone else heard about it?

They've found a large section of the aircraft and a second, "huge" oil slick, 50 or so miles south of the initial debris discovery according to CNN.

I speculate they are now a lot closer to where the main aircraft is and the initial point of impact. . .

Hey, that bomb thing could turn out to be no joke. . . Certainly is not outside the realm of possibility given the circumstances surrounding how this aircraft went down. . .

I think the Bomb thing is VERY likely..........considering the circumstances.

At a minimum, in my mind it is as least as likely as a catastrophic electrical failure that takes out all redundant systems on board the aircraft!

I keep reading speculation surrounding the storm and/or lightening taking down this aircraft, and I am having a hard time accepting that as the cause. It may very well end up being the case, but right now I'm not ready to buy it.

They fly those things in all kinds of weather and train to do so. Ice is their worst enemy along with wind shear. But at 35,000 feet I believe most competent commercial pilots would be able to recover from a wind shear incident.

Lightening is also accounted for within the aircraft and its systems, with flights taking direct hits, and sometimes multiple hits, on a daily basis world wide. They are built to do so. . .

Something strikes me as hinkey with this whole scenario. I've been wrong many times before though. . .

. . .And another thing. . .

They found seats and parts in 4 different areas, and two oil slicks 56 miles apart. Wouldn't that be indicative, at least on some level, of the aircraft breaking apart in flight? I realize that wind and current will separate debris sometimes, and the area this plane went down in is a juncture for the trade winds and currents. . . so maybe that's it. . .

And those messages automatically sent by the system indicated massive electrical failures of multiple systems, along with loss of cabin pressure @ 35,000 feet. . .
