Swissair crash may not have been an accident: ex-RCMP

Post by Dex »

"If Canada can't follow through on 229 potential homicides, then you know, what happens when there's only one?" he said.

I think the implications are big on this one.

And the motive would be?

And the reason for the cover up would be?

I hope the New World Order isn't behind this.

Not the first time -- there were also lots of unanswered and smell of cover up in the DC-8 crash in Gander as well -- we will never know --

To be truthful, I really have a hard time believing that three pilots on AF447 didn't recognize a stall. Aren't stalls covered in the sim?

You figure The 5th Estate will ask those same two questions? :)

Depends - if the facts get in the way of the story?

I wonder if there will be any mention of the kerosene derivatives on the aircraft. The wings were supposedly full of it.

It's my understanding there were igniters in the engines at the time.

MayDay did the Gander crash. Saw it a few weeks agao.

Using standard weights for a plane full of solders put them overwieght. Frost on the wings degraded lift. overweight + less than expected lift = crash into the trees.

The show then compared the crash to the Dryden F28 crash and implied that if there was less worrying about bombs and other crazy ideas that the ideas on ice that came out after Dryden would have come about after Gander.

It is not always the bad guys. Sometimes shit just happens. Learn from it and do better.

I'm 99 percent sure that all plane crashes throughout history have been caused by terrorists.

That is why I fully support CATSA stealing my jar of blueberry jam that I bought for my grandmother.

And they can grab my testicles and treat me like a criminal too. You can't be too safe.

Personally, I'm also in favour of mandatory cavity searches for passengers and crew for every flight. :butthead:

To suggest otherwise proves you are a terrorist.
