airplane ended up at a point where just about everybody agrees was the end point for them, but not the end game. the end game is a different thing. i want to roll something by you and it s far-fetched, it s crazy, call me whatever names to fit the deal. hey, go ahead, bring it. bring it. yeah, i m going to bring it. i ask myself what is the end game. why would they do this if they in fact are doing it deliberately? why would they take an airplane full of passengers and roar around the skies and hide it or do whatever else they re doing underneath the radar? why would they do this? what do they want this for? now, what would happen if they did in fact find a way to land, refuel, take off again and then threaten the integrity of certain kinds of structures. structures like the white house, the eiffel tower, what s the name of that really tall building in that area. what if they had threatened those in a 9/11-type approach.
have a great understanding of what the motivations are of all those folks and we don t. we simply don t. so we have these flights of fancy. we ve got this conjecture just running out there and a thousand different theories. we need to bound this thing a little bit and get back to what we know and what we don t know and walk ourselves through what the possible outcomes might be. you know how cable news works, don t you, spider? we ve got time to fill here. so yeah. before we bind our conjecture, let me ask greg about another one that blew up today online. this hobbyist aviator looked at other flight paths in this area and found a singapore airline 777 that was flying a certain way. the theory he floated was what if flight 370 sort of, you know, did a little slip streaming, got in the shadow of that where it would pass itself off as one
investigation and this search can be carried out in a way that delivers results for all the interested parties. all right. we appreciate your insight. you are at least trying to frame this with the block of salt we should be taking as we try to figure out what happened to this flight. someone else who has some interesting theories is a gentleman by the name of jim tilmon, one of our cnn aviation contributors, a former pilot with american. jim, thanks for being with us. so does that change your opinion? you, i think, were about to float sort of a more extreme theory about what happened to this plane. are you going to go with that or are you going to pull back? bill, i don t know what to believe. i ve heard just about everything you can imagine. it s like somebody is writing children s stories without any concern for the kids. i ve got to tell you that this whole thing is so perplexing that i ve left a lot of my thinking about the details of what happened before the
board were suspects until you took them out of the picture and everybody that touched that aircraft 24 hours before it originated on the flight should have been investigated and that should have been aggressive and wide open immediately. and my understanding, at least the way it s been covered, is that did not happen. so moving forward, can you get over the hubris, can you get over the initial false start and can you now do that? certainly that needs to be done. since david set me straight on that acars thing, so let s talk about this thing and the fact that it might have flown that northern route and the southern route, we come back and another part of the story raising a lot of questions, was it literally flying under the radar or masking itself in the shadow of another 777. that was e.a new theory burningp the internet today. we ll ask these men when we come back.
