Plane Mysteriously Disappears Inflight - Never Found

Los Angeles On Fire

Writer’s Corner – Survey: to kiss or not to kiss?

I worked as a flight attendant for an international airline before I was married, so airline-related news always interests me. What follows is controversial, with lots of people on the internet trying to debunk it. You decide . . .

PLANE MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARS INFLIGHT - NEVER FOUND

On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 took off from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing, China. On board the Boeing 777 were 239 people. Twenty of them were software engineers, employed by Freescale Semiconductor, headquartered in Austin, Texas.

The crew communicated with air traffic control for about 38 minutes after takeoff. Then ATC lost track of the flight.

No distress call was sent, passengers with cell phones did not report a problem, and massive amounts of wreckage were never found.

Numerous theories have been suggested:

1) Flight 370 was hijacked by unknown terrorists and the transponder turned off.

2) Flight 370 ran out of fuel and crashed in the ocean.

3) The captain, with18,365 hours of flight experience, committed suicide with all onboard.

4) The 221kg (487lb) load of lithium-ion batteries in the plane’s hold caught fire and the captain made an emergency landing. Lithium batteries are a known fire hazard. But, China exports lithium, so why return it to them?

5) Ashton Forbes has come up with a different, mind-boggling theory after viewing some unusual videos. Does the U.S. have the ability to snatch jets out of the sky, and teleport planes, and people, elsewhere?

Ashton Forbes posted this warning from Trump* a month before the war between Israel and Iran broke out:

“We have the best weapons in the world, but we don’t want to use them…” “We have things that you don’t even know about, you don’t hear about, and if you did you’d say wow!” https://x.com/JustXAshton/status/1935054248279957795

*I don’t do politics on this website, so hold off with your views on Trump.

Take a look at the videos below and watch the plane disappear--inflight. Then you decide.

Forbes states, in the longer video, that 19 families called their relatives’ cell phones after the plane disappeared. The phones rang—although no one picked up. Cell phone signals don’t travel well through water, and a caller will not hear a ring tone if the receiver’s cell phone battery is dead.

The video is from a U.S. military drone that shows flight 370 disappearing over the Nicobar Islands near Myanmar, formerly Burma, located in Southeast Asia.

Forbes said he had to learn quantum mechanics and electrical engineering to explain the science behind the plane’s disappearance. He said the key turned out to be zero-point energy (ZPE). I’m not going to begin to try to explain ZPE, so I’ll just move on.

Some have debunked the video above as fake. Forbes discusses that possibility: Long scientific and technical explanation of the disappearance of flight 370

What happened to the plane?

Was a wormhole created? Was anti-gravity employed? Were extra dimensions beyond the three familiar space ones (length, height, width) used to move the plane from one location to another? Was this technology developed by Lockheed-Martin? Finally, what happened to the passengers if this technology was used? Did they survive being snatched?

Let’s say we grabbed a plane cruising at 560 mph and landed it in Diego Garcia, a military base on an island, off the coast to eastern Africa. You can’t ignore physics. That plane is going 560 mph wherever you send it.

Forbes says the process used to grab the plane is endothermic. I'll get to that in a minute. First, exothermic processes release energy. Think a bomb. Lots of energy is released very fast.

Endothermic processes absorb energy. Eggs absorb energy when you fry them. Was the plane’s energy absorbed and used in the process of moving it? If so, what happened to the people? Did they survive the absorption of energy? Where are they?

Currently, the people and the plane's whereabouts are not public knowledge, and the mystery continues.

LOS ANGELES ON FIRE

I’m writing this as LA is experiencing another round of civil unrest.

Lately, I’ve witnessed some brutal Facebook and X wars. They started with COVID and have now moved on to other topics, the protests being the latest. These are wars of words between fellow believers, lovely people I’ve known for decades.

When I flew for the airlines, I often traveled to the People’s Republic of China. I was told by friends there that the PRC’s leadership feared Christians. Why? Because our unity transcended all boundaries—national, racial, political, etc.

That scared the daylights out of the PRC’s leadership. Our unity meant Christians couldn’t be controlled. Yes, Christians can be denied jobs, education, freedom, and even killed. But our belief in Jesus Christ should trump everything. We're supposed to be light.

Maybe, we should rethink what’s important.

WRITER’S CORNER – SURVEY: TO KISS OR NOT TO KISS?

My wonderful editor, Jill Wilson, objected to my two main characters sharing a kiss at the end of my novel (they’ve just fought a major battle, things are still tense, and the two are kind of sweaty). Jill said it’s a running joke in her family that stories always end with a kiss.

Since I’m not writing a “chick flick,” but an action story with a romance on the side, the main characters, Keely and Arik, don’t get to kiss. The reader now has to imagine it later, “off screen.”

What do you think? Do you like a kiss between the two main characters at the end to wrap up the romantic plot? Or would you rather it was left to your imagination?

I’ll let you know the answer in the next newsletter.

Should the main characters kiss?
