In reply to the discussion: Malaysian Officials have concluded missing flight #MH370 was hijacked and steered off course [View all]mainer
(12,558 posts)80. It's on Diego Garcia! sensitive cargo
or so says the latest conspiracy theory. With the way this mystery is unfolding, anything seems to be possible. I got this link off the PPrune bulletin board. Oddly enough, it was there on their board for just a short time, then the post vanished.
For your fun reading:
A new report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces (GRU) states that Aerospace Defence Forces (VKO) experts remain puzzled as to why the United States Navy captured and then diverted a Malaysia Airlines civilian aircraft from its intended flight-path to their vast and highly-secretive Indian Ocean base located on the Diego Garcia atoll.
According to this report, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (also marketed as China Southern Airlines flight 748 through a codeshare) was a scheduled passenger flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, China, when on 8 March this Boeing 777-200ER aircraft disappeared in flight with 227 passengers on board from 15 countries, most of whom were Chinese, and 12 crew members.
Interesting to note, this report says, was that Flight 370 was already under GRU surveillance after it received a highly suspicious cargo load that had been traced to the Indian Ocean nation Republic of Seychelles, and where it had previously been aboard the US-flagged container ship MV Maersk Alabama.
What first aroused GRU suspicions regarding the MV Maersk Alabama, this report continues, was that within 24-hours of off-loading this highly suspicious cargo load bound for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the two highly-trained US Navy Seals assigned to protect it, Mark Daniel Kennedy, 43, and Jeffrey Keith Reynolds, 44, were found dead under suspicious circumstances.

If the plane was hijacked I suspect many of the passengers are still alive

What's scary is it's NOT a conspiracy, if all it takes is one person to hijack a plane!

So I guess those of us who thought the plane was stolen were not "conspiracy theorists" after all

Well the other theory would be if the plane were hijacked and the passengers were alive

Plus unlikely that a fire would've started so suddenly that the pilot couldn't get off an SOS
