The games they play in heaven.
Rugby Union for winter, cricket for summer. Both games may seem incomprehensible to many, which is fair enough; Gridiron and Baseball create as much confusion to others. However, no matter the finer points being lost on the visitor, when a dynamic ‘play’ is made, it is recognizable. In rugby, there is a thing called a ‘speculator’ pass, which, as the name implies, is a calculated gamble. The move may or may not work out; but when the options are limited and no forward progress is being made, a well placed ‘speculator’ may turn the tide. The Annexe 13 search was such a ‘speculator’; everyone watching the ball, holding their breath as the two teams scramble to cover the opportunity presented.
Some would say the MY speculator failed and now the game must be restarted from centre field. There are others who would say that the gamble paid off and now the game can be reset in centerfield and restart. Either way its back to taws for the search; only this time the focus will be on the almost inescapable conclusion that the loss of this aircraft was, indeed, a criminal act.
With the encumbrance of the Annexe 13 obligations side-lined, the real work can begin. The French nailed it early in the piece by treating the whole thing as ‘criminal’, from the beginning, which IMO is the only road worth travelling. If the fruitless search of the SIO proved nothing else, it has demonstrated that all legitimate ‘innocent’ reasons for the disappearance have been ruled out; technical failure, crew incapacitation, fire, etc. and the logic associated with ‘normal’ causes has failed to find either the aircraft or the reason for its loss.
I notice the media is now slowly picking up the threads and reporting that Malaysia is finally ramping up the ‘criminal’ investigation. Let’s all hope they turn the dogs loose and treat this whole thing as a serious criminal act and stop messing about, wishing and hoping that some ‘innocent’ explanation will be delivered by the gods. Whether 370 was an act of terrorism or hi-jack or even theft, then intelligence or security has let the Malaysia government down.
9/11 was a serious wake up call; the world more than ever now dependent on the intelligence and security services. If (big IF) there is an exploitable gap in that network, then no matter the political embarrassment, that gap must be plugged.
Someone, somewhere knows exactly what happened to MH 370. The answers (IMO) are on the ground. Time to stop buggering about. The failed Annexe 13 search has defused the situation and the spotlight is dimming, time, space and opportunity to bring in the criminal investigators and quietly but firmly get to the real solution – then find the aircraft and bring this saga to an end.
There, my two bob; spent as pleased me best.
Toot toot.
