A troll. Check out the song that inspires FlPanther in the other OP. It is a decidedly non-JW song, and FP is playing with us. Best ignored.

Just watched the news. Apparently the pilot can de-pressurize the entire plane outside of the cabin, and the masks only work for an hour or so. After thateveryone dies. (Isn't that a nice bit of information to have moving forward). It is likely the pilot is the one who commandeered the plane, based on all of the data known up to this point. What he did with it? That is the 64 dollar question.

Did you all see the news item stating the ex-cop angry old white man,who shot and killed the young father because he was texting, was also texting right before the shooting? What a piece of work. I know lots of cops and ex-cops. Most of them are great guys drawn to law enforcement to serve and help, but some of them, because of their personality traits, are drawn to law ENFORCEMENT because they get pleasure enforcing their will on others. Seems this old guy suffered from angry old white guy syndrome and the desire to impose his will on others. I suppose his own hyprocrisy is lost on him. Maybe he will find it in prison.

JWs no longer taking the Governing Body seriously.
by kneehighmiah inthe recent letter being us to come to detroit shows that jws are beginning not to take the gb seriously anymore.
the buzz following the meeting was that the letter was unprecedented in its tone.
this coming from long time jws of 30 years plus.

kalk,
Excellent post. I used information from a letter I received from the Borg (assuming the GB) in a meeting with elders and they just about had a heart attack. The WT it seems was the final say on everything. I had written the GB and strongly expressed my disagreement on a WT personal matter point and 'kindly' asked them to mind their own effing business. The GB's letter to me included a confimation that my viewoint, which was not expressed in the WT, was correct but that I should be doing what they say because more was expected of me, being an elder. The local BOE were not amused.

Has anyone found comfort/encouragement from "worldly songs"?
by awakening ini remember reading a thread when my exit was starting, about inspirational songs.
someone posted a link to the "shins" for a fool.
this was a surprising help to me.

Excellent choices. I would say all of these and more. Retro-Don Henley; current-Lots, including Rhianna, Maclemore, Imagine Dragons, etc. In conjuction with this OP I would also strongly suggest losing the JW specific verbiage, such as 'wordly.' Studies suggest the sooner one can lose controlling language the sooner one can put the experience behind them. I quit using Borg specific teminology as soon as I exited the cult.

4 hours @ 550 or so mph = 2200 miles. There has been so much mis-information about this topic that it is fun but useless to speculate. A 777 fully loaded with fuel can fly for a long time. I took a non-stop flight from Chicago to Abu Dhabi of 15 hours on one. A flying gas tank. I don't know what the protocols for re-fueling a 777 on a much shorter flight.

One of the things I have noticed regarding the theories proposed by CNN and others is that they all seem to be missing one important facet. If there was a problem noted by the crew/customers, someone - many someones would have tried repeatedly to communicate those problems. This plane does not appear to have conflagrated in mid-air. All the other scenarios provide sufficient time for the crew, who had many different types of communicationa available to them, and those flying - there had to be 300 plus cell phones in eager hands - to call someone or to keep trying to call someone. That is the compelling bit of data in this scenario. If it didn't conflagrate immediately, and it doesn't appear to have done so, then any scenario provides time for notification/communication.
Even the air presssure issue, similar I suppose to the Payne Stewart incident - is it reasonable to think that of the 400 people onboard none of them would have time to protect themselves and call/notify??? That jet would have been in cell tower range soon and a kagillion calls would have been made. At least one of them, it would seem, would have been received. And the latest on CNN indicates the debris field is close to the flight path, so a Payne Stewart type incident appears to be ruled out, but not difinitively. A plane in those conditions, flying via computer, could go a thousand miles or more.

Kate,
Would you prefer that we sprinkle our comments with kindness? I can do so, albeit dripping in sarcasm. Some on this forum, too many IMHO, are so close to the evolutionary bottom of the food chain in their thinking and analytical ability that it makes it difficult to enjoy. You and others criticize our 'arrogance', but the real arrogance comes from those interjecting feeling/believing/perceiving nonsense into a serious discussion with no other motive than to draw narcisstistic egoistic attention to themselves. Igroring them is certainly an option. Refuting them is a waste of time and has already been done. IMHO, and I am essentially a very nice, calm, kind, generous, sensitive person, such ones need jolted into reality. If it stings it stings. They have had enough time to learn to think rationally and analytically. If they choose to hang onto superstitions and such, fine. There is a place on this and other forums for them. I don't go into their coffee talk chat arounds and contaminate their conversations, nor do I interject narcissistically in an attempt to hijack their theist/JW conversations.
If they can't show the same humility, it is what it is and they get what they deserve. If Cofty intimidated you perhaps that is not necessarily a bad thing. Look inside yourself and find out why. And I will stop referring to such as chimps when they quit acting like chimps. And I apologize once again to any chimpanzees I may have offended.
The last thing I would suggest is that not everyone saying nice things to you is your friend and not everyone saying stern things to you is your enemy.

Fink,
I believe the plane incident occurred at night. Had the plane crashed on land, it is very possible that one of the numerous satellites (U.S., Russia, China) would have spotted a red flash. I'm certain they were tasked with looking for such. Crashing a plane straight into the ocean would unlikely result in a red fire ball. It would leave debris, but remember that each part of it is traveling at the same rate of speed. It would likely submerge before dispersing into a debris field. TWA 800, if I recall, was a mid-air conflagartion that occurred immediately and ripped the plane apart. That scenario, based on what we have been told, isn't close to being applicable to this flight. Of course what we have been told may be subject to accuracy.

Skeeter,
I agree. The most plausible scenario, given what we have been told, appears to be the pilot/co-pilot quietly flying the plane into the sea or someplace else. The other pilot/co-pilot could have been quietly neutralized. Doubtful they were in on it together. Any other scenario provides too much time for some type of communication.
