For the past several days I have avoided talking about Malaysia flight #370, as one “breaking news” story after another goes bye-bye.
But the latest one – which is China (a country I assume has sophisticated equipment for this kind of thing) informing the world that it has found a large item (about 45\’ by 75\’) of indeterminate material, floating in the Indian Ocean, is at least worth mentioning.
Why the plane wreckage would be there – i.e. why, if the idea were to crash the plane into the ocean, it would be flown over that ocean for hours beforehand to reach the area where this object is floating, would be a major mystory.
My strongest expectation remains that this plane is on land, intact, to be used for terroristic purposes in the near future – with the passengers on board irrelevant to the operation and quite possibly dead.
But I don\’t claim to know this, it is only a suspicion. My mind, therefore, remains completely open…albeit with more than passing interest in what China is seeing.
To be continued.
