America is the only country where may people believe professional wrestling is real but the moon landings were fake.

It must be true. Two of their reporters saw a video of it on a guys cell phone. As soon as they come up with $200K they'll show the video to all of us.

This type of speculation on air disasters is nothing new. Look at the 2011 issues from that cop on the Swissair crash off coast Nova Scotia, the CBC Fifth Estate ran with it. However the story evaporated quickly as there was absolutely no foundation for the bizarre claims by this retired cop. Although this cop had a background in explosive devices, his expertise wasn’t in aviation and one on the investigators indicated this cop’s job was just taking pictures, he was a photographer. Even survivors of the victims were dismayed about this whole episode…….

Google "Phil Bobet". He's a friend of mine that lives nearby. Long retired from Swiss. Great guy. Level headed. Read about his experience climbing out of NYC one night.
