Agreed. The media hysteria over the Sandy Hook shootings and the Dorner manhunt were prime examples of bad info running rampant. Never mind the conspiracy nuts. Left a permanent bad taste in my mouth.

Originally posted by firstfloor View PostActually, they saw some bright dots on a satellite image. The rumour mill is in overdrive at the moment. It is very difficult to tell what is going on until either actual wreckage is found or the crash investigators report on the available data. I do not get the impression yet that the investigation team (whoever is involved (NTSB and AAIB will be trying to help)) is on top of the situation. There are too many people running around like blue-arsed flies.
*Did I just call CNN a "credible news agency"?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by firstfloor View PostInteresting yes, just not wreckage from the aircraft until it is on the deck. The recent report in the Wall Street Journal about engine data being transmitted for four hours after the plane went missing turns out to be false. Many such rumours are going the rounds.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

BTW, I see that the well known nutter Uri Geller is trying to get in on the act by advocating the use of remote viewing to find the missing plane.
In other news, I have purchased for my kindle “Doubt – a history – The Great Doubters and Their Legacy of Innovation from Socrates and Jesus to Thomas Jefferson and Emily Dickinson” by Jennifer Michael Hecht. When I have read it in the next week or so I will write a review for the forum.Last edited by firstfloor; 03-14-2014, 05:50 AM.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

There was a live broadcast from Malaysia in which a prime minister confirmed their belief the jet was hijacked. I haven't found any link to provide his remarks but they were pretty sobering. The belief is the jet was turned to the direction of the Strait of Malacca (I hope I got that right)Watch your links! http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/fa...corumetiquette
