Not too much to do up north there but drink and come up with conspiracy theories it seems, or both.

I don't see any 'tin foil' in this at all! He's only asking questions based upon documented facts, and supported by 'official' witnesses to the event. ie; Retired RCMP Commander.



Why did NORAD officials direct supposedly hijacked planes to Whitehorse when they could have ordered them to land in any number of Alaskan airfields?

Who sent the hijack text messages and why?

Why were the pilots ordered to squawk 7500?

Why have officials been so reticent to explain their actions related to the Korean Air flights?

The questions aren't answered, but they are certainly worth asking.

A lot of these conspiracy theories make the most sense when you have had a few too many.

$1:

Meanwhile in the U.S., then-vice-president Dick Cheney had authorized his country's war planes to "intercept civilian tracks of interest and shoot them down if they seem to be threatening a U.S. city. Clearance to shoot is authorized to save lives on the ground."

I didn't think the vice-president had that kind of power (considering the president was still alive). I thought the order to use lethal force was an executive order that came from the president.

It's not a theory if there is actual evidence.

When it comes to drinking, better look in your own backyard first moron.

American airspace was shut down completely. That's why they didn't land in Alaska.

I'm not sure if anyone remembers, but tons of flights bound for the USA landed in Canada that day.

It's not a 'conspiracy theory' as there's no commentary about a conspiracy. The fellow is just asking legitimate questions about a well-documented historical event.

Denouncing him as a tin foil conspiracist is an act of both censorship by character assassination and an act of knee-jerk ignorance.

Oh I'm hurt, such a comment coming from a occasional drive by poster who gets his posts edited by the moderators.

BTW my backyard does not have an alcohol consumption rate that is 133% of the national average. There is an actual fact for you.

Note I don't have to resort to unintelligent name calling to make a point.

Sometimes certain facts are missed when focused on a conclusion one wants to end up at.

Why they landed in Whitehorse instead of any Alaskan airfield does make sense, considering the Americans closed their airspace. Same reason why Gander got hundreds of aircraft. The rest, I dunno.

They are interesting questions, and it isn't exactly connected to the whole "Teh BU$H GUBERMINT CAUSED TEH 911!!!1!111!!" sack of flying shit.
