    Only half-joking, I suppose. I'm obsessed with space aliens :D

    Well, I saw on some documentary that the Bermuda triangle has a twin, which is on the exact opposite side of the world from it, and I think it's somewhere in Asia. Maybe they got caught in that. And yes, I'm joking, lol. :D

    I am not afraid at all of flying on planes.

    Not driving on the large highways-beltways etc.-like around D.C.---- I need about 10 Xanax to do that. Scares the shit outta me. I'm almost afraid to go on ANY highway.

    Of the two passports that were stolen, one was stolen two years ago, the other one year ago

    How do you even get on a plane with a two year old stolen passport?

    Yeah, I saw something about that on CNN. They're saying one of the pilots might have been inexperienced.

    I cant say for sure, but once a place is up on the air, its flying by itself.. something had to go wrong with systems where the pilots experiences would be called to play. some mechanical failure can not be recovered from..

    Yeah, they use autopilot. If it goes haywire there should be an override of some sort that returns control back to the pilots. But it's possible we'll never know exactly what happened in that cockpit. They need to pinpoint the location and send divers down to get the black box, if that's even possible. It depends on how deep it is.

    There was one a couple years back where the autopilot went nuts and they climbed, but the pilots didnt believe the instruments, so crashed because they thought they were at a different altitude and didnt give a mayday or set off a beacon, cant remember which one, late 2000s sometime, something had frozen setting of the autopilot

    Apparently it was seen on radar that they were trying to come back. There could have been an explosion, and the plane was still flyable for a short time, then suddenly broke up. However, if 4 people were involved, that suggests a 9/11 type situation with the pilots being killed or incapacitated and the terrorists taking the controls and maybe deliberately crashing the plane into the water. If they ever get the black box that will provide some answers.

    Aeah,... what we do without those practical scientists? We'd have to write tales to rule in the crypt.

    The south China sea has some kind of analogy to the Bermuda Triangle. Does it not?

    Well, no passengers sent a text or made a phone call, im sure a few would have had global roaming, cant remember if cell phones get blocked nowadays on flights, but if it is possible and no one made a call, suggests something sudden, or cabin depressurized
