Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

I've been semi-following the story of MA-370. I found it interesting that flights could still just disappear as this one has. Various news sites began to report on the store just hours after the scheduled arrival time for the flight.

I first read about it about 2 hours after the scheduled arrival time on CNN. There was very little information, basically read as if a flight had got lost and they were trying to reestablish contact. When I first read it I figured that the flight had made an unscheduled landing somewhere and the airline forgot to inform the media. At this point its seeming unlikely this was the case.

Since then they have discovered a couple passengers were flying on stolen passports (which CNN was very quick to link to terrorism) but little else. Vietnam is cutting back on search efforts, and since hearing that Malasia Airlines is claiming that the flight may have gone west (closer to Vietnam) then what was originally thought.

What prompted this blog post though was a report on CNN, "Could meteor have hit Flight 370?" I love space, I love space games, I love sci-fi, I love images of space. I have been meaning to buy a telescope since I was 12. However looking for an extra terrestrial reason for what happened to this plane is completely insane.

Yes a meteor could have burned through the earth's atmosphere and struck the plane causing a sudden and violent decompression that tore the plane apart, but the chances of that are so astronomical that its almost just as likely that they were abducted by aliens. Actually statistically speaking it's far more likely that they WERE abducted by aliens than were killed by a meteorite. In-fact there has never been a human fatality that was caused by a meteorite.

I want to give my condolences to the families and friends of those who were on flight 370. I also want to remind people to keep it REAL. Thats a statement I never thought I'd make, but it seems like people have to be told every once in awhile. I mean come on CNN... A FUCKING METEORITE!? Thats something I expect on the tabloids.

UPDATE 3/23/2014: I thought CNN had reached rock bottom with this story and a potential meteorite. I was wrong. CNN has now suggested it got swallowed up by a small black hole "as occurs in the Bermuda triangle". Shoot me now, even Hitler's propaganda had more truth in it than the shit that is coming out of CNN these days.

Let me enlighten you CNN. There is no black hole in the Bermuda triangle. The reason ships get lost in the Bermuda triangle more than other places is because of a magnetic anomaly that screws with navigation systems. Back when ships were actually sailed by people who navigated by the stars, this area was not known as anything special. Infact it was a major trade lane between europe and the 'west indies'.

No Black hole can occur as you suggest. Not only would a black hole tear apart earth, it would tear apart our entire solar system and most likely the entire solar neighborhood. It is suggested that there are 'rogue' black holes that are not at the galactic center, but we honestly aren't entirely sure about that.
