Latest on the mystery Malaysia flight

Poor souls!  I bet the two young Iranians travelling on stolen passports must have been gay men escaping the mad hell in Iran. Sad!  They probably knew they would be apprehended  in EU and then would be able to claim asylum.

I have been reading that there's a very lucrative business in stolen passports which is on the rise in almost all the favorite tourist spots of the world, especially those young travellers are known to favor. Thailand is definitely one of the favorites with Europeans and Australians.  A stolen passport can sell from anywhere between US$800 to even $2000, according to some reports. Also, it is believed that passport owners themselves sell their passports and then report them as lost. What a racket! Airport personnel must be also involved in the racket.

Where IS the plane?  Was there a bomb blast and the plane disintegrated?  Even if that happened there would be some pieces of the plane to be found floating somewhere.  Was there a malfunction and the plane went down like a stone, intact and whole ....  hundreds of miles beneath the sea? Did one or both of the pilots do a "jihad"?  I hate to put myself in the shoes of the people who had their loved ones on board this unlucky flight. Can't imagine what they are going through.
