CNN: Flight 370 swallowed by black hole?

[101ABN]

CNN’s Don Lemon has been entertaining all sorts of theories about the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, including the chance something “supernatural” happened, but on Wednesday night, he actually asked panelists about the possibility a black hole was involved.

Lemon brought this up along with other “conspiracy theories” people have been floating on Twitter, including people noting the eerie parallels to Lost and The Twilight Zone, and wondered, “is it preposterous” to consider a black hole as a possibility?

"This is CNN" milking the story for every bit of ratings. I expect that soon they'll feature a clarvoyent who'll claim to be able to "reach" some of the passengers on the flight and to "skree" where they are.

LOL! The same network that questioned if near earth asteroids were the result of global warming.

BTW.... This is not the first large airplane to 'disappear'.

When it comes to vanishing airliners, surely the record belongs to British South American Airways who lost three large 4 engine airliners.

The first one, "Star Dust" disappeared over the Andes in 1947.

Star Dust (registration G-AGWH) was a British South American Airways (BSAA) Avro Lancastrian airliner which crashed into Mount Tupungato in the Argentine Andes on 2 August 1947, during a flight from Buenos Aires to Santiago, Chile. A comprehensive search of a wide area (including what is now known to have been the crash site) was fruitless, and the fate of the aircraft and occupants remained unknown for over 50 years.

In the late 1990s, pieces of wreckage from the missing aircraft began to emerge from the glacial ice. It is now assumed that the crew became confused as to their exact location while flying at high altitudes through the (then poorly understood) jet stream. Mistakenly believing they had already cleared the mountain tops, they started their descent when they were in fact still behind cloud-covered peaks, and Star Dust crashed into Mount Tupungato, killing all aboard and burying itself in snow and ice.

An investigation in 2000 determined the crash was caused by weather-related factors, but until then speculation had included theories of international intrigue, intercorporate sabotage and even abduction by aliens.

Two others, the "Star Tiger", And "Star Ariel" disappeared in what became known as the Bermuda Triangle, and despite extensive searches, no trace was ever found.

Granted, today's technology makes it harder to lose a large aircraft, but it's not impossible...... Obviously.

Obviously. If large ships can vanish without a trace then airplanes, even the biggest, can as well.
