Breaking News: North Korea Shot Down Malaysian Flight 370

Maybe they did it to get even for the US piracy in Libya?

"This month a North Korean artillery launch happened minutes before a Chinese commercial plane reportedly carrying 202 people flew in the same area. 

There are all sorts of theories out there and I suggest you give them a scroll first.

North Korea claims its rocket launches are part of routine drills and self-defensive in nature, but there have been an unusual number this year — March has seen five launches so far — coinciding with annual war drills by the United States and South Korea that North Korea claims are in preparation for an invasion, in what is believed to be the North’s way of protesting US-South Korean military drills." 

Gee, I can't imagine why the North Koreans would be worried about a U.S. invasion, can you? It's not like there is a track recor.... never mind. 

Interesting that Korea is also another peninsula, isn't it?

"Satellite spots more debris in search for Flight 370" by Thomas Fuller and Michael Forsythe | New York Times   March 24, 2014

PEARCE AIR FORCE BASE, Australia — The search for a missing Malaysia Airlines jet entered its third week Sunday, as data from a French satellite buttressed the theory that the plane might have fallen into the southern Indian Ocean, far off the west coast of Australia, where a multinational search for clues has expanded.

No wreckage had yet been found, even though the US Navy Seventh fleet said weather in the southern Indian Ocean allowed for full use of electronic and visual search tools.

Conditions could deteriorate later Monday as a cyclone bears down on the northwest coast of Australia.

The French satellite spied objects in the southern Indian Ocean that might be related to the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the Malaysian Ministry of Transport said Sunday....

That puts me in mind of something I spotted the other day, and it is definitely related in an editorial sense.

The announcement appeared likely to reinforce the theory that the plane fell into the ocean far off of western Australia after veering sharply from its planned route....

Never to be found, the new cover story!?!

--more--" 

The debris they found was "wooden pallets"?!!? 

C'mon, guys, you can do better than that (ha-ha-ha)!

"Plane carrying 5 crashes in Colo." | Associated Press   March 24, 2014

MONTROSE, Colo. — Ouray County spokeswoman Marti Whitmore said no one is believed to have survived, but no victims have been recovered from the aircraft, which was about 90 feet from shore in 60 to 90 feet of water.

‘‘It’s in deep water and it’s in cold water, and we don’t have the right resources in the county’’ to recover the plane, she said Sunday. Dive teams were expected at the reservoir Sunday.

The identities of the occupants were being withheld until relatives could be notified.

The crash occurred several weeks after three people died when a plane crashed after taking off from Telluride airport.

I'd say they should have taken a bus, but.... 

"The bus was headed south on the heavily traveled East Coast artery when witnesses reported seeing a speeding four-door passenger vehicle swerve into the travel lane of the bus. The bus then swerved to the right to avoid the sedan, ran off the road, struck the guardrail, and overturned, Virginia State Police said."
