BREAKING on CNN: Oceanic Flight 815 disappears over Pacific

[charlie and algernon]

Just tuned to CNN to hear them talking about a flight from Australia to LA disappearing somewhere over the Pacific. Wolf is saying that it veered 1623 miles off course before disappearing off the radar. The US and Australian Navies are dispatching 42 ships to look for it.

6. LOST????

[Fleshdancer]

7. Sad news. The wreckage has been found

Purported wreckage of Flight 815 was discovered by remote operated vehicles deployed by a salvage ship, the Christiane I, in the Sunda Trench of the Indian Ocean near the Indonesian island of Bali, about 2800 miles north-west of Sydney 90 degrees out from the flight's presumed route north-east to Los Angeles.

Footage of the bodies of crew members and passengers were released to the media for television broadcast, and an information hotline for their family members was established by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board.



:cry:

[ghostsofgiants]

8. I've got a funny feeling that there is more to this than meets the eye.

[charlie and algernon]

9. yeah, my uncle's wife's sister's friend knows a guy on the flight

and she didn't see him in those pictures. Surprising that they found the wreckage so soon after it disappeared....

[ghostsofgiants]

11. I'm definitely going to follow this story.

I just can't help shake the feeling that something weird is going on.

[SoxFan]

25. I agree, but I'm an 815 Truther

[alsame]

14. Doesn't look real. I think that wreckage was faked. n/t

[Xipe Totec]

33. Was it the Olympic Carrier?

[charlie and algernon]

10. LINK: Oceanic has a message on their website

http://www.oceanic-air.com/

[ghostsofgiants]

12. See what I mean? That's fucking weird.

[charlie and algernon]

13. yeah, i don't know what's going on

I think we should look into this more and I we need a special 815 forum here on DU to share our findings.

[XemaSab]

17. Dammit

15. Is Sawyer on it?

[SoxFan]

26. Nobody named "Sawyer" on the manifest

[graywarrior]

29. James?

LaFleur?

[SoxFan]

32. There's a James Ford here...

But seems like a rough character. A scoundrel, even.

[graywarrior]

38. Good. I must rescue him.

[SoxFan]

39. If you see a cute blonde with an Aussie accent...

well, you know.

[graywarrior]

42. Will do.

[DarkTirade]

16. Wait a minute... a friend of mine just won the lottery and went on a trip to Australia.

I gotta check my email and see what his flight number was...

[Initech]

19. 4 8 15 16 23 42

[DarkTirade]

22. Hey, you know Hurley too?

Have you heard from him?

[Initech]

23. No but I saw that dude on TV.

[Z_I_Peevey]

18. No time for the news right now.

I'm about to leave for California. Job interview at a box company. Something tells me they have an opening.

Namaste!

[Initech]

20. Great, another plane crash.

At least this time let's hope there are some survivors. :evilgrin:

[slay]

21. Got a callback from someone named Naomi about helping in the search

Very weird interview questions like do I have any metal fillings, how do I feel about strange guys wearing eyeliner.. oh well, no worries.. this cool dude named Daniel convinced me to go. Hope everything goes ok... :evilgrin:

[charlie and algernon]

27. you didn't have to look at dead bodies as part of the interview? did you?

[slay]

28. There was a body bag there now that you mention it.. very strange

Some guy who's name started with M was going in there but I highly doubt it's related. :evilgrin:

[CreekDog]

24. ass

:hide:

[MadBadger]

30. I was on an Ajira Airways flight to Guam a few months back, really bumpy ride.

[Fleshdancer]

31. I was on standby for that flight recently, but some rich tool bought all the remaining seats

What kind of ass does such a thing? I couldn't get to Guam until the next day because of that rich selfish jerk. :grr:

[Haole Girl]

34. What a sick joke

:-(

[Shell Beau]

35. My boyfriend, aka Sawyer, was on that flight.

I am really concerned. He is kinda sketchy and has a thing for freckles, but I love him, nonetheless.

[LanternWaste]

36. James Sawyer?

James Sawyer? Better not be the same guy-- that dude romanced my wife and next thing I know, she and all my money was gone. Poof! If you ever see that rat-bastard again, tell him Hibbs is looking for him...

[Shell Beau]

37. On no! Sounds like my man.

If he is alive and still living in 2009, his ass will be grass!

[Rabrrrrrr]

40. I blame the Irish.

Not that I think the Irish are smart enough to have had anything to do with it; but that I think the pilots got to the point of (correct) hopelessnes of knowing that the world is not going to exterminate the Irish, and so, one must ask, "What's the point of living if the Irish are going to be allowed to drag down the world's collective conscious by continuing to live".

[Withywindle]

41. Oh, well, THAT might explain it.

I got stood up for a date. Really hot Iraqi guy who told me he'd "take me out" when he got back. I know he wouldn't tell me what he does for a living, but he still didn't seem like the kind of guy who'd just not show up and not call, y'know? :shrug:
