The beginning of a conspiracy theory? Flight 370 landed on Diego Garcia.

I can’t tell if this nutty page is sincere or a joke. Either way, there may be people who will take it seriously.

This image, which appears black was posted as taken in a dark cell by an IBM engineer. The picture is black because the cell was too dark, but a critical piece of information was embedded in the Exif data, the coordinates to Diego Garcia, where the picture was taken. And it’s real, this is NOT a hoax. The coordinates in the picture indicate that the photo was taken within 3 miles of what Google officially gives for Diego Garcia. It is NOT EXACTLY what comes up on Google. It is off a couple miles, so NO ONE GOOGLED THIS, thus helping to confirm it’s authenticity. I don’t know how big the island is, but if it has a runway, that certainly fits.

The picture posted with the following text: “I have been held hostage by unknown military personal after my flight was hijacked (blindfolded). I work for IBM and I have managed to hide my cellphone in my ass during the hijack. I have been separated from the rest of the passengers and I am in a cell. My name is Philip Wood. I think I have been drugged as well and cannot think clearly.”

My name is Philip Wood. I think I have been drugged as well and cannot think clearly.

Drugs are bad, mmkay?

sad but so funny…

The truth is: Bangkok has them now.

Funny I saw the exact same story a week ago except the picture was a pilot’s eye view on a runway on an island.
I pointed that unless “Mr. Wood” was flying the plane he would not have that view.
Now the picture is black.
One question. How did he upload it to the net?

Pretty sure that if the military took the plane to Diego Garcia for some unknown reason, they would have strip searched everybody and confiscated any cell or satellite phones (even those secreted in certain body cavities).

Sorry, but if you get taken to DG, you aren’t going be able to tell anybody about it. Ask al-Qaeda and Taliban members about that. They’d know.

I work for IBM and I have managed to hide my cellphone in my ass during the hijack.

You’d think someone would have noticed a thing like that happening in a crowded airplane cabin.

I thought this was going to be a joke thread about the plane landing on that fat character from “Lost”. Was the character, or the actor’s, name something like Diego Garcia?

Due to an active aversion to actually accomplishing anything today, I made the mistake of scrolling through some of the comments on that page. I think this is my all-time favorite crazy person comment:

instead of people trying to discredit this story, perhaps time spent looking into the authenticity of it would be better served

Umm…I don’t even…

MUST GO VIRAL!!!

Brain-eating virus viral, apparently.

A few more classics:

NO evidence does not necessarily mean it did not happen

Criswell, is that you?

I understand there are a few (at least!) Common Law Citizen Courts now being – made? constructed? Put together? Whatever! – and they are open for cases. No Corporate Law/Admiralty LAW court would dare TOUCH this, but I think this illegal, immoral kidnapping by the GOVERNMENT (so-called, though it ISN’T!) is one of the types of cases they would take!

Dale Gribble, is that you?

The picture is black because the cell was too dark

That, and the phone was stored where the sun don’t shine.

Any website that uses multiple exclamation marks, excessive capital letters, and bold font is an automatic red flag for fear mongering to me. :rolleyes:

If I were a mean person, I would link to a picture of Goatse, without warning.

But I won’t.

I once found a website that had nothing but gifs and photos along that line. videos and photos of people doing weird, disgusting things with their bodies. I can’t remember the link, maybe that is better that way. I saw a guy sucking his own dick, that was interesting. I’m glad I could help keep this conversation on topic.

Also I looked into it a bit and this story about Diego Garcia supposedly started at 4Chan, so there is that.

I’ve been to DG a couple of times. And I just told you about it.

Ask al-Qaeda and Taliban members about that. They’d know.

Ok, give me a couple of their phone numbers and I’ll ring them up and ask them.

There once was a man from Nantucket…

There is no topic per se. Just a report of a report of a story about a supposed guy who supposedly sent a photo of nothing from his supposed prison on DG. If I saw that in a news story, I would have quit reading before I finished the first sentence.

Talking about butt stuffing is a more interesting subject (or so I hear…).
