We received thousands of hits on an earlier article drawing together speculation that MH370 had been shot down and talking about other well documented cases when commercial jetliners were, or were alleged to have been, destroyed by military action.
If you haven’t read it yet, you really should. It includes a video of a most peculiar radar track that we have not yet seen disputed anywhere, which certainly could be interpreted as a fighter jet shooting the plane out of the sky.
Now a new book has published accusations that the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 may have been accidentally shot out of the sky by US and Thai fighter jets in a training exercise mishap.
Flight MH370: The Mystery alleges that a US-Thai joint strike fighter jet training drill shot down the doomed passenger jet and its 239 on board, claiming the search party was intentionally sent in the wrong direction as part of a sophisticated cover-up.
Author Nigel Cawthorne describes how a man, working on an oil rig at the same time the plane’s transponders went off, saw a burning jet near the military exercise being conducted.
“After all, no wreckage has been found in the South Indian Ocean, which in itself is suspicious.”
He says the hundreds of families of victims will “almost certainly” never know what really happened in the early hours of March 8, 2014.
“Did they die painlessly, unaware of their fate? Or did they die in terror in a flaming wreck, crashing from the sky in the hands of a madman?”
At the Wellthisiswhatithink investigative desk, we make no claim to have any idea about what really happened, but we do agree with one part of the still-feverish speculation.
If the missing plane was shot down, we strongly suspect we will never know the truth. The “secret state” will cover it’s tracks. And that’s not crazy wing-nut conspiracy theorising, it’s just recognising the obvious truth that media management has now become so sophisticated that we poor benighted souls in the outer bleachers of society (ie, barring the inner circles of government and the military, everyone else) no longer have the faintest idea what’s going on in our name.
Well, This Is What I Think
