I think it’s most likely a plane in flight. ---

No, that one impacted in Ukraine. All the wreckage has been found; none is still flying. ---

In other words > My nascent company has a new prototypical search tech and we’d like a fat government contract to use it and make us famous if we find MH370, or at least get paid if we don’t. It’s completely unclear from the article what they did differently than all the other search efforts based on derived last known positions. But they did pick a sexy tagline for their theory “evil 3rd party hijacker”. Color me at least unimpressed. ---

Let’s let them do their search, but only on a No Find, No Fee basis. ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > But they did pick a sexy tagline for their theory “evil 3rd party hijacker”. Yeah, that was the part that had me raising my eyebrows, making all the rest at least “suspect.” But then again (and I looked–though maybe I missed it) they didn’t actually say _third party_ hijacker. For wide enough definitions of “hijacker,” I suppose the plane’s own Captain could be a hijacker. Maybe they just didn’t want to come out and say that, because it would lead to backlash? ---

The article cites a freelance investigator (who has morphed into an “aerospace expert”) and a pilot. “experts have revealed” 🤔 😀 😆 Pretty much every cockamamie theory about the flight’s disappearance is mentioned, with the possible exception of a teleportation to another dimension by Freemasons who stowed away in the cargo hold. ---

> [@Jackmannii](#): > > teleportation to another dimension by Freemasons who stowed away in the cargo hold Which is absurd on its face. Freemasons wouldn’t travel as cargo. They can afford at least Business Class. ---

Maybe it was really Shriners and not Freemasons. The little cars go in the hold and the hijacker guys & their silly hats hide in the cars. All criminal conspiracies go better if the bad guys have distinctive silly hats. ---

In streets choked with foot or automobile traffic, those little cars could outrun cop cars. ---

> [@Jackmannii](#): > > teleportation to another dimension by Freemasons who stowed away in the cargo hold. Well, to be fair, if the TTADBFWSAITCH theory is correct, this search won’t turn up much. ---
