And we thought this one was bad: CNN talking empty head (Feyerick) asks Bill Nye if approaching Meteor was a result of global warming….
OK that set the stage, what could be dumber than that? Now study the picture below, and ask yourself, what’s wrong with this picture? Note the plane, a Boeing 777.
And here is what was said:
CNN’s Don Lemon has been entertaining all sorts of theories about the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, including the chance something “supernatural” happened, but on Wednesday night, he actually asked panelists about the possibility a black hole was involved.
Lemon brought this up along with other “conspiracy theories” people have been floating on Twitter, including people noting the eerie parallels to Lost and The Twilight Zone, and wondered, “is it preposterous” to consider a black hole as a possibility?

I wonder how many B.S. detectors went off globally at that moment.
Now, I’ve seen everything. Remember this the next time one of these idiots discusses the science of global warming.

“is it preposterous” to consider a black hole as a possibility?
Not if we are talking about Don Lemon’s head.
“A small black hole would suck in our entire universe.”
And thus performing the incredible feat of disappearing up its own backside.
Honestly, the CNN guys is playing devil’s advocate here. He is simply trying to represent a segment of the population that thow out wild fantasy ideas, then lets the pundits answer the “concern of the public”
IMO, this post is not a good one as it throws Lemon under the bus and is a more rally the troops junk that I hate when I see it on alarmist sites. I am actually disappointed to see this here.

You don’t play devil’s advocate with a black hole for ammunition. Some things need to be laughed at loud enough and long enough that the people considering them stop doing so.
And yes, I realize that that is exactly the treatment accorded many who make a scientific discovery, but still, some things really are too ridiculous to consider.
I don’t know what’s more preposterous – the idea of a black hole swallowing the 777 or CNN asking the question. Maybe Bill Nye can give hiis trademark answer he uses when he’s totally clueless, which is 99 perent of the time: “It’s a mystery….
CNN has been circling the toilet for years. When they chose to protect Bill Clinton at all cost they chose to become a joke. They chose sides and lost credibility. Credibility is like virginity, once gone its not coming back.
“I wonder how many B.S. detectors went off globally at that moment.”
Judging by CNN’s ratings, a few dozen at most.
Personally, I think the plane was swallowed whole by a mutant seagull.

C’mon now people. Don’t you know anything? Isn’t it patently obvious by now that the missing Malaysian Boeing 777 was abducted by a massive UFO? No doubt the passengers, pilots and crew are having an absolutely wonderful time on the aliens’ home planet right now.
Wake up people. Sheeesh. /sarc.

CNN has decided to be to news reporting what MTV is to music.

CNN is to news reporting as MTV is to…er… well, news reporting.

I encourage people to cite my revolutionary global warming theories but with attribution, please.
If a black hole sucks the “missing heat” out of atoms as I suggested and leaves them freezing and abandoned somewhere near its apparent horizon then we may be able to pinpoint its location and I will claim my talking head spot on CNN. Why should Hawkins get all the press?
I expect Kevin Trenberth would start inviting me to his house parties.
Hawking, of course.
Global Warming has caused the Bermuda Triangle to move!

You wake up lost , in an empty town
Wondering why no one else is around
Look up to see a giant boy
You’ve just become his brand new toy

I agree. We have entered the Twilight Zone!

1) Why would someone steal a new plane; forget the passengers?
2) Where is the most feasible place to land it?
3) The person who stole it is more knowledgeable than the trained pilots.
4) No ship sightings during theft.
Leaves one to simply look for an old airbase and lots of nature canopy and camouflage.
Best bet by me.
1) Why would someone steal a new plane?
Remember 911?
2) Most feasible place to land it?
Don’t forget, 2 passengers were Iranian traveling with suspicious passports.
The plane could certainly have made it to Iran
Quote WIKI”On April 2, 1997, a Malaysia Airlines -200ER named “Super Ranger” broke the great circle “distance without landing” record for an airliner by flying eastward from Boeing Field, Seattle to Kuala Lumpur, a distance of 10,823 nautical miles (20,044 km), in 21 hours and 23 minutes.”
3) Is the person who stole it more knowledgeable?
Doesn’t have to be, if it were the Pilot, Co Pilot and the other two
4) No ship sightings.
Don’t forget, the ocean is a vast place, and so is the world for that matter. A plane flying “Under the Radar” would have a very narrow track of visibility
As far as the passengers go, they were all infidels anyway

My theory is that it landed on a remote island runway. I understand that a satellite company is at this very moment scanning images of ‘unused’ runways. The missing plane is truly baffling to say the least as we now know it was deliberately taken off course. What do you do with all those people? If it was a hijack then why remain silent for so long?
===============
Look at the results:

Surprised this one didn’t make the roster although there was a posting about fire in the cockpit.
http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2014-03/19/mh370-electrical-fire seasoned pilot indicates the actions and activity would be consistent with fighting a fire but they ran out of time and the plane flew until it ran out of altitude or fuel. An interesting read – not nearly as awe inspiring as the stupidity of the panel but checks a lot of boxes.
If it WAS a Hijack, the reason for remaining silent is that the purpose for the Jet has yet to be fulfilled
Load it with Nukes and take it to your least favorite country
“asked panelists about the possibility a black hole was involved”
Prompting a new psychological study of AGW disbelievers…
As expected, those who stated they disagreed with global climate consensus of AGW – were found to believe it extremely unlikely Flight 370 was pulled into a black hole. Upon further questioning, study found vast majority of this group did not believe in settled science of Transwarp conduits, Stargates, or FTL drives.
Reasonable Guy says: “He is simply trying to represent a segment of the population that thow out wild fantasy ideas, then lets the pundits answer the “concern of the public”
Going by AGW crowd’s beliefs; he should have asked the pundits – If the plane had enough fuel after making the slow programmed turn to have gone on and flown off the edge of earth.

I did wonder why the UFO mother ship capture scenario, which is a bit more believable than a “black hole”, was not brought up instead.

It was pretty clear to me that she was being facetious.
