Boeing 777 missing! Your guess is as good as mine...

On March 8^th the entire world watched in disbelief as news came pouring through the wires that Malaysian Airlines had lost contact with flight MH370, a Boeing 777 that night carrying 239 passengers. Now almost two weeks later  the only thing the public knows for sure is how creative human beings can be when they feel a need to fill in the blank! At this point there are hundreds of reporters working on different aspects of the story, but due to lack of verifiable information concerning the planes whereabouts it is a nearly impossible mystery to solve at the moment. Though never fear, American media networks have found a way to seize this opportunity by delivering one ridiculous story after another to the public.

From the FOX camp we have received a highly sensationalize and paranoid terrorist plot schematic from so called ‘military experts,’ following Rupert Murdoch’s tweet predicting the plane was being loaded with explosives in Pakistan.

From camp CNN American’s have gotten a heavy dose of possible Bermuda triangle scenarios that insinuate the plane was sent through a portal to a different dimension, or maybe that it was divine intervention! (This is truly sad and deprived)

Last but not least, investigations being conducted on passengers that were aboard the plane has given conspiracy theorist some food for thought.
It was found that 20 Freescale Semiconductor employees were in the flight, who were instrumental in design and recent promotion of a new high-tech radar microchip that can be used in defense systems, for the US based company.

What does it all mean...

Well there are some pretty bland news stories on that can be found on the BBC website that address 'down to earth' issues, like looking at maps and what aeronomic experts have been working on...but that’s too boring. My bottom line is that humans lives were lost, and the storyline has gone well past what I consider morally ethical in the medias ridiculous attempts to increase ratings.
