Flight 447 Where Are You?

Remember yesterday when the news was filled with updates about wreckage of Air France 447 being found?

Not so much.  These ‘investigators’ and I use the term loosely, are a bunch of clueless idiots. Here’s a sample:

Among the debris was a wooden pallet that they believed had been used to load luggage on to the plane, which disappeared over the Atlantic early Monday morning with 228 people on board. 

Brigadier Ramon Cardoso, director of Brazilian air traffic control, said: 'We confirm that the pallet found is not part of the debris of the plane. It's a pallet that was in the area, but considered more to be trash,' he said.

He added the Airbus that vanished on Monday did not have any wooden pallets on board.

'That's how we can confirm that the pallet isn't part of the remains of the aircraft,' Cardoso said.

Holy shit.  I bow in awe of the Holmesian logic. I’m also curious as to why ‘officials’ are chomping at the bit to hammer home the point that the flight data recorders likely won’t be found.

I mean, it’s not like

Air France received a false bomb threat for a flight from Argentina to Paris days before a plane went missing over the Atlantic.

No way that could be connected right?

France's defense minister earlier said there was " no sign " of terrorism regarding the crash on the Airbus 330 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.

I’m going to play devil’s advocate here and say maybe that’s because they haven’t found the fucking plane!

I’m not trying to say it WAS terrorism, it could just as easily have been an accident, but I think it’s reprehensible and irresponsible to rule it out.
