Air France Flight 447 - a coverup?

Post by Vortex »

THEY want you to believe that the loss of Air France Flight 447 was an accident.

However it's TOTALLY clear that a coverup is in progress.

Sources say that a F117 stealth fighter returned to Nellis AFB later that day MINUS ITS MISSILES!

So who - or what - worth shooting down was on that flight?

You read it here FIRST!

It MUST be a conspiracy, and here is the proof. Observe the arrivals board at Charles de Gaulle airport:

See how they try to COVER UP the TRUTH by declaring "AF447 - Delayed", instead of correctly informing the public with the standard: "AF447 - Crashed, no survivors".

Dunno what it's all about but this conspiracy obviously goes all the way to the top, and probably to the bottom too.

And who exactly has proof of an F117 coming home minus a missile?

Or is this a LATOC mocking exercise?

I came home without my lighter on Sunday morning. Does that mean I started that fire on the outskirts of town?

I suspect that it was an accident, probably caused by extreme weather.
Air travel is a relativly safe transport mode, but fatal accidents cant be entriely avoided, and the loss of two or three hundred lives all at once is far more newsworthy than the same number killed a few at a time by cars, or by falling down the stairs.

Initialy I considered that terrorists might be responsible, but that now seems less likely, I would expect them to be boasting of theire succes by now, if responsible.

But the F-117 doesn't have an air to air capability. It doesn't have any air intercept radar, nor is it wired for carrying heatseeking missiles on its extending trapeze pylons. Its only role is precision bombing of ground targets. And what's more, it may even be out of service by now.

As for 'returning without missiles', the F-117 and F-22 carry their weapons internally to maintain their stealth profile, so no spotter could ever identify an armed aircraft.

So maybe it was a USAF F-22 (with tanker support) wot did it. Or a trigger happy Brazilian in his Mirage 2000. :roll:

I think it was shot down by a Eurofighter that the Brazilian airforce was testing, being flown by two of their crack test pilots, 'Princess' Diana Spencer and Richard Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan.

Just out of interest, has anyone got any stats for lives lost due to falling down stairs? No particular reason other than curiosity. (OK, OK, I need to get a life)

No but my sister knocked her front teeth out walking down stairs after we'd just spent a day doing much more dangerous things without incident!

I blame the Martians. (For the loss of AF447, not your sister's accident Keela.) Them or the Chinese. No, American consumerism. Or God. Oh, I don't know.

My brother-in-law, as an archaeologist, got knocked off his bike one day on his way to the dig, which goes to show just how dangerous such a profession can be.

As a result, his career was in ruins.
