Anonymous Coward User ID: 14207070 United States 03/14/2014 11:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to en.wikipedia.org] Quoting: First Born "On 25 May 2003 a Boeing 727-223, registered N844AA, was stolen from Quatro de Fevereiro Airport, Luanda, Angola.[1] Its disappearance prompted a worldwide search by the FBI and the CIA." This plane was empty when it was stolen... But this plane was never, found. So, how long until these missing planes re-appear? How awesome a nuke delivery system would a empty passenger plane make? 11 years and counting. how long can a plane just sit there before it becomes a really big paper weight? why would someone wait 11 years to do anything with it? what is the likelihood that it was stripped for parts instead? |

Equatorial Guinea has vast oil and gas reserves.[2] One US official called it "the new Kuwait".[3] Prosecutors alleged Equatorial Guinea's opposition leader, Severo Moto, was to be installed as the new president in return for preferential oil rights to corporations affiliated to those involved with the coup.[4] It received international media attention after the reported involvement of Sir Mark Thatcher in funding the coup." "On 7 March 2004 Zimbabwean police in Harare airport impounded a plane which flew in from South Africa.[4] The alleged plot leader, ex-Special Air Service (SAS) officer Simon Mann,[5] was arrested with two colleagues near the runway while waiting for arms to be loaded on a Boeing 727(N4610), carrying three crew and 64 former soldiers recruited in South Africa.[6] The majority of those alleged to have been the mercenaries planning to carry out the coup are based in South Africa and ex-members of the 32 Buffalo Battalion, a special force unit that fought for the South African apartheid regime.[7]" [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

These planes will appear one day I'm afraid. Keep your eyes on the sky people. I would not fly anywhere right now or in the future. These planes could be used for anything in the wrong hands.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 9935505 Slovenia 03/14/2014 01:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to translate.google.si] The parallels to the crash of an Air France plane in on Monday night are striking: All of a sudden disappeared on 1 January 2007 flight AI-574 of the Indonesian airline Adam Air from air traffic control radar. With 96 passengers and six crew members of the Boeing 737-400 was on a domestic flight between the Indonesian islands of Java and Sulawesi. Just as the now missing Air France plane flew the machine through a bad weather front, than about one hour flight away from the target, the contact with the ground broke off. And as in the case of the now missing Air France jet spread after the accident, a hoax. At that time, the news agency Reuters reported the following day, the wreck of KI-574 was discovered in rugged terrain, twelve people would have survived - which, as once again, quickly proved to be misinformation. Relatives of the missing passengers were stunned, "I am shocked by these false statements," revolted the relatives of a victim, "I now want certainty about the missing aircraft." That aircraft - even in the age of radar and satellite navigation - disappear as if by magic, such messages hunt GPS accustomed contemporaries an infidel fascination shivers down your spine. And nothing beats the public so under the spell like celebrities, which dissolve in the air seemingly into thin air. When the American billionaire and adventurer Steve Fossett disappeared in early 2007 with a single-engine light aircraft over the Sierra Nevada, followed the whole world for months every latest development in the search for the missing. But just 13 months later discovered a wanderer in the Mammoth Mountains random notes and a sweater in the undergrowth - the subsequent search led to the ruins of Fossets flyer. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 9935505 Slovenia 03/14/2014 01:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ever heard of flight 19 ? not ? [link to en.wikipedia.org] Flight 19 was the designation of five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers that disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle on December 5, 1945 during a United States Navy overwater navigation training flight from Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale, Florida. All 14 airmen on the flight were lost, as were all 13 crew members of a PBM Mariner flying boat assumed by professional investigators to have exploded in mid-air while searching for the flight. Navy investigators could not determine the cause of the loss of Flight 19 but said the aircraft may have become disoriented and ditched in rough seas after running out of fuel. |
