Where is the bloody +1 or 'I Like' Button when you Need it!
There are People here proclaiming rumours as 'Knowledge'.
Guys, some of you are too easy to fool.
Even the 'official' Statements are often contradictory, revised or modified the other day.
Then some purported comments from sources left and right field from the US and China again sometimes contradicting each other.
I would consider none of this as 'Knowledge' at all. In my daily life I would take this quality of Information with more than a Grain of Salt. So do I in this case.
Looks like mixture of politics, bits of Information with unclear source and history and conclusions based on these data.
Let's simply hope someone happens to stumble across wreckage soon before it will become impossible to backtrack it - assuming it's in the Sea (which I tend to consider more likely than not finding a 300t Airliner over land in more than a week).
