you can stream it on Netflix.
it meticulously shreds the official story using former NTSB investigators, eye witnesses, and various experts.
Is this the same documentary? http://youtu.be/2wxgyUyvpRs

no it isn't although some people appear in both, here is the trailer of the one I am talking about, it was released last year and was professionally and effectively put together. the most powerful part of it at least to me are the first hand accounts of credible eyewitnesses and long time NTSB investigators.

Watch this movie and especially pay attention to the laughably comic, illogical, law of physics defying CIA cartoon animation which was supposed to explain what happened. It screams coverup.

Terrorists usually want the world to know it was actually terrorism. So blowing it up in the middle of nowhere tends to be pretty ineffective.

Thus, I don't think this was terrorism. But that's just my gut talking.
I put it at 50 / 50 that it might have been a dry practice run by Terrorists, the logic may suggest "the real thing". If they were going to practice, would they aim from the water in a place they could easily disperse from without a trace. Knowing that whatever made it to the news might be covered up?
I am hoping for proof of human error or faulty mechanics, but this smells bad.

does North Korea have to ability to send missiles that far? If they do I don't know why China or other nearby nations would allow it for one, it would have had to fly over China wouldn't it? Why would China allow it and not know about it?
normally when there is news about a north Korean missile launch its to do with some missile falling into the Japan sea. Gulf of Thailand is a whole nother situation entirely. I just don't think it is possible for it to have been a North Korean missile.

The world, so to speak, is coming to their aid in the search, but not anything is known yet. At this early point, and even later when all is determined, I can do nothing other than say prayers for those who died aboard this aircraft, and for those who love them. It is heartbreaking.

I do not think such an event would be in North Korea's best interests. To think that there no SAM's available for those willing to pay a big price is another flower story.

Just heard on radio that there might be four more stolen passports on board.

FBI and Interpol supposedly refusing to confirm that.

I'll bet they will be testing the fuselage within 72 hours for exposure to combustible elements and fuels. The passports were probably more deadly to illegals in route to Europe.

Calls for "live black boxes" again.........

A live black box uploads black box info to the cloud so if something happens, and you can't find the plane, the data is available.

Live black box will end up in the car, first.

Isn't is really inexcusable not to have that in place now, I mean it is 2014.
For all the flying I used to do, I will never set foot in an airplane ever again.
No way I will ever fly anywhere for any reason.

The probability of an intruder breaking in your home and killing you is much greater than dying on a jetliner. I don't know what happened here, but with all the new technology and safeguards in place, it's still the safest place to be on the planet. As with anything of course, shit happens.
