That's nice dear, why don't you go play with the stuffed bear until the man with the jacket with the sleeves comes round.
Quote:Ummm, yyyeaahhh. :blink:
That's exactly what I was thinking and I didn't even read the whole thing. Sounds pretty bogus. I mean a lot bogus. I mean, a flat out lie.
Stuff like this brings out the worst in some. There will be hoaxers out there trying to do stuff like that. Not buying it for a second.

The story is impossible. I confiscated every cell phone...
I've said enough already.
Quote:Crockpot theories don't deserve equal attention with serious journalism.
Wait for the punchline though. Phillip Wood is indeed on the passenger manifest. So were the other 20 or so high ranking employees. They did have a breakthrough piece of technology, in which a US patent was applied for by, I believe, 5 of them, collectively. 4 of them were on that flight. Those are all undisputed facts.
Those things may or may not mean anything, and may be "Crackpot Journalism" too, but the fact of the matter is that nothing disproves it, given the current evidence. There is no proof of a conspiracy surrounding those facts either.
I know some here were pretty quick to brush it off, but I PROMISE YOU that thousands of dollars and hundreds of man hours are being dispatched to verify or disprove that very theory.
That my friend, is fact.

I think you mean 'jambalaya'.

IBM encourages it's employees to apply for patents, and helps them pay the fees associated with them. That way, they can keep their innovations "in-house." So, you could say this about any flight that has a hand full of IBMers on board (which is a common occurrence for half a dozen or more of them to travel together when working on IT projects.)
It's pretty easy to look up the names of people and who they work for (Phillip's information was one of the first shared in US outlets due to his citizenship), then concoct a wild story over a month after the disappearance. I'm leaning more sick joke on this one than breakthrough journalism.

Didn't say the theory was true. I can say what's true is that they're taking the time to look into it though. Until it can be proven or disproven, it's on the table for investigators, no matter how crazy it sounds. Yes, the stories are pretty out there these days, but bottom line is this is the most elusive incident in aviation history. That alone leaves the door open to a lot of theories that wouldn't otherwise be out there.
CNN tonight. Ricardo Monalbon explains everything.
