Ok - interesting - but to use a term beloved of statisticians 'correlation does not imply causality'

However there are more questions than answers why would the aircraft end up going in a direction 180 degs to where it was scheduled to go, why were comms and tracking devices switched off, if it was hijacked why no claim of responsibility or list of demands, if it was a suicide mission why no target destroyed or publicity sought by some group or other...? etc etc

The longer questions go unanswered the more people turn to conspiracy theories as providing some sort of answer. Quite what the US would want with a plane full of civilian passengers on a remote island just isn't clear (Diego Garcia is leased to the US). One thing is certain the current state of information seems designed to confuse....... I think people are wise to be suspicious and demand answers to awkward questions.
