Malaysia Airlines again, the only transcontinental carrier today to fly over Syria, according to this German source here, referring to Flightradar24?!?

The ICAO is currently trying to get permission to fly over Iranian airspace. When that is approved probably all the Far East airllines will go that way.

Ugh I flew over it literally days before it happened SIN-AMS (SQ324). I will look on the flight-tracker TV thing which way they fly around on the way back. I believe the UKDV FIR is now completely closed. (Indefinitely?)

 

This is a really horrible incident. Very tragic to lose so many fellow citizens.

Carriers are already flying over Iranian airspace, including MA.  I fly over Iran & Iraq with QR when traveling to and from Europe/Middle East. During the Gulf war we would have to route over Saudi.

I've read similar ridiculous 'proposals' (I won't devalue the term 'theory') over the years, but this one truly takes the prize. So, "someone nefarious" loaded an aircraft with corpses in full view of everyone at the airport, and no one noticed?

 

Just as the literally millions of people around the world watched in real time as the second aircraft crashed into the second tower were somehow all victims of mind control?

 

I remember that morning quite well. After tuning in the morning news, I immediately called my best friend and said "Jim! Turn on your TV!" He asked "What channel?" and I replied "Any channel Jim!"

 

Perhaps it was all the work of space hamsters from Andromeda after all... :Hypnotized:

No they didn't load the corpses. They were allready on there when it landed in amsterdam (AS MH17, but obviously being MH370) 

So, MH370 wasn't lost according to russians. but standing somewhere ready to be flown to amsterdam as MH17, and than over the ukrain, to be shot to make russia look bad?

Reall, How Insanely mental must you be, to come up with that...

 

On the other hand, your space hamster theory is quite plausible if you ask me..
What's next? 
All your base are belong to us? :P

Vodka is not enough for this kind of "trip".

I have news of some herbs that the Indians of the Amazon use it, open star gates, contact with fairies, elves, and allows the imagination to any theory.

Maybe someone was here and ...

The hamsters have it. They are far less susceptible to conspiracy theories aren't they? :unsure:

I wonder also how "they" explain the 298 new people disappearing then? Maybe they think someone asked Captain Picard to have them beamed aboard the Enterprise? :huh:

We watched it at the office in the UK. Obviously it mustn't have happened!

When you live in Australia/New Zealand and you are flying to Europe you have a choice.....the craziness of KLAX of fly over the east being Iran, Syria, or Ukraine airspace.

 

I think I will take flying through KLAX over the east any day. Wolfgang Puck Pizza's seem not so bad now.

Hang on there...Russia hardly have the last say in crackpot conspiracy theories or theorists, i don't think this chap is Russian:

http://www.infowars.com/

Or this chap:

http://www.glennbeck.com/

 

All nations have these people.

 

The media is stirring up hostility towards Russia, it's hardly a pleasant regime but i think it's pretty clear that the Russian government didn't shoot the plane down, blaming Russia for the actions of the Rebels would be akin to blaming the US for the formation of al qaeda (see CIA financing of the mujahideen in Afghanistan).  

Ian R Tyldesley

that the Russian government didn't shoot the plane down

Correct, but if they supplied heavy weaponry and/or advisors to the rebels they are culpable specially in view of the fact (per US intelligence) the BUK missile battery that fired was moved back across the Russian border. I don't think anybody suggests that Putin (or his entourage) ordered the shooting but the fact that such transfer occurred through the border and was neither "encouraged" nor "discouraged" by Kremlin speaks volumes. Unless of course Russia is so decentralized (we know it isn't true) and disorganized that government people in Moscow have no control over their borders and missile batteries simply run unimpeded.
