Somebody Official Finally Said It

It’s a three ring circus.
I just came across an article with Courtney Love announcing that she had found the missing plane in a satellite photo.
I will throw in one opinion though. The jet isn’t in hiding, to be used as a missile later. I don’t care how remote the valley you land it in, some goat herder will hear something, tell his cousin and 24 hours later, the world will be in that valley. Even in the most remote regions, where Afghanistan meets Pakistan, people talk and news travels. No matter how tight the admonishment from the Mullahs, something would get out.
So what if there are 634 known airstrips where the plane could land? They all have neighbors and neighbors talk.
I suppose there are some areas of the Australian Outback that might be remote enough, or maybe Antarctica, but once you land there, now what? I’m not even sure a small group could take off from Antarctica without some system for unfreezing the wheels. Australian Outback? Remaining fuel? Where are you going to go and what are you going to carry?
You just can’t hide something that big from everything from spy satellites to wandering goat herders. Just consider the logistics of refueling the thing. You can’t top it up with a few five gallon jerrycans.
Big, complex actions are almost impossible to hide. That the deceptions of the Manhattan Project and the Normandy Invasion worked as well as they did, is nearly miraculous. Those took the resources of the United States Government to pull off. Complex assaults with multiple coordinated elements are very tricky to execute and often go wrong.
What’s Occam’s Razor about? The simplest answer that covers the known facts?
Notice that everyone is STILL using that radar arc and the assumed range of the plane given a partial fuel load. And NOBODY is looking at the vast empty FLAT sands of Somalia, where all it would take was 2 miles or so of well made highway. Probably paid for by the West with one of their “bootstrap” programs for Africa. Make a hanger camoflaged as desert, or carve a 70 foot tall door in an ancient 5 story factory that’s been there forever and is little more than walls and roof. It really isn’t that hard to hide a jet.
But because “east Africa is out of range”, nobody is looking there. Sure it is. IF you believe that the guy with the gas pump wasn’t an AQ agent who lied about how much he pumped. Or that other agents didn’t plant some cargo containers in the hold, filled with a couple tons of extra fuel and some hoses. Or that some fuel bowser “accidentally” pumped the wing tanks full. They really only needed just a tiny bit more range to get to Somalia.
So, while in general I agree with you, I just outlined a big empty place where the plane could be landed where nobody is looking. And you could shoot everyone who happened by and get away with it too, if you wanted. Not that the folks there aren’t already AQ sympathizers.
Got some support for your idea this AM. Eyewitness accounts of the aircraft going past the Maldives about 6:15AM.
Witnesses in the Maldives reported seeing what they described as a ‘low-flying jumbo jet’ around 6.15am.
Maldivian news website Haveeru said the residents on the remote Maldives island of Kuda Huvadhoo in Dhaal Atoll said they saw a white aircraft, with red stripes across it like the planes operated by Malaysia Airlines.
There’s not much out there except Diego Garcia (another Obama giveaway) and other tiny dots of islands, some of which are sovereign countries. If he had enough fuel, he could have made land anywhere between Madagascar and Somalia will little chance of observation. The actual fuel supply he had is a big question.
I’ll still hold that an operation that big would have a lot of indicators to make people look. A missing fuel bowser, a low level guy suddenly excited by what happened at work, it would be a lot like trying to drive an Indy race car into your garage, servicing it and driving it out again without the neighbors noticing. The Maldives report is one example of people noticing something unusual
The again, if people in an area are suddenly talking more than usual it tells you something is up, even if you don’t have the conversation. We haven’t heard much from the various national security services about the case, but I’m willing to bet the NSA is all ears right now.
Ummmm...47,000 kilograms is about 47 tons, not 47 kilotons.
But, still.... That thing - loaded - will definitely leave a mark somewhere.
