This could get worked into a conspiracy theory or something, but there have been CTs about the plane disappearance since a couple of hours after it was reported.
I’m imagining the jokester who made up this ridiculous story, sitting at his computer and laughing his ass off. He didn’t even bother to fake a picture but just used one that’s solid black.
“On 30 December 1966, the United States and the UK executed an agreement through an Exchange of Notes which permits the United States to use the BIOT for defense purposes for 50 years (through December 2016), followed by a 20-year optional extension (to 2036) to which both parties must agree by December 2014.”
So the lease extension has to be agreed upon by the end of this year, otherwise it expires in two years.
The question of course, is how, when armed men suddenly take over the airplane you’re in, one manages to surreptitiously drop trou in the middle of the cabin and conduct said insertion.
