Well it looks like nothing confirmed yet except for the fact they cant find this big plane though Reuters is saying that Spy Satellites found no evidence of any explosion in the air during that time frame. Of course who knows who or what their source is.Quote:

As I said, it's not the phones ringing, it is the cellular system generating a ring tone while it tries to connect to the phone. Try this experiment - I just did - turn off your phone, and remove the SIM card. Then dial your number from another phone and see what happens. When I did, it "rang" four times before going to voice mail. After re-installing the SIM card, and turning the phone on - so the system could find it again - and back off, when I dialed from my home phone, it went right to voice mail. The reports of passengers' cell phones ringing are no indication of their fate, only that the cellular system can't find the phone on the network.Quote:

Yes, but for people that don't know that - it's A Story...Quote:

Nick, there are no black boxes and wreckage. ;) Tin foil hat on.
Seriously, either its some really well put together hijacking or its in the water. its simply amazing that with all our tech, we still can lose such large objects.
Yep Dick Cheny has in his garage right next to AA77. Yes the fact we haven't found one single piece is amazing.Quote:

IIRC the transponder only gives altitude? This plane could have been tracked with radar even if the military had to be called. They have no idea where it traveled or where it is. Shame..
USN P-3C Orion from Okinawa enroute to the search area!!
As well as the destroyer USS Kidd.Quote:
