[Kharon]

I’m voting with TOM on this one.  Too much theory, intellectual willy waving and chest beating for a working man.  Quite apart from being tedious, the debate has proven to be unproductive in terms of finding the aircraft.  No one it seems has the first blind clue what happened after the pre IGARI hand off; not for certain sure.  The very few real clues and facts are subject to speculation and even in doubt.  

To make an aircraft disappear, almost without trace is a tall order.  The notion that one person, acting alone could have managed to beat the safety network, disable the aircraft systems and side step radar coverage, in this day and age of paranoia is risible.  The notion of a well oiled ‘team’ carefully planning and executing this disappearance has merit.

We hear little about who and even less about why.  Many strange ‘kinks’ in the tale have not been explained satisfactorily.  Short of ET grabbing the aircraft the most sensible idea is that this was a carefully planned, cleverly executed team operation; the aftermath brilliantly managed by experts.

Someone, somewhere knows exactly what happened and as time slowly ticks away with waning public interest that person has been gifted time, to bury the whole thing in a deep and dark place.  

Criminal act, most certainly but just who are the criminals?  More ground investigation required, much more, before the reset button is pushed at the psychological full stop of ‘search over’.
