After Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 went missing over the Indian
Ocean four months ago, there were a slew of conspiracy theories about
its disappearance. Now, with Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crashing in
Ukraine, there’s even more about the beleaguered airliner.
The most predominant theory is that Russia wanted to start “World War
III” by directing rebels in Ukraine to allegedly shoot the plane down.
Others have again posited that UFOs were involved in the plane crash.
After Flight 370 went missing, that was a common theory being spread
around.
There’s no proof of any of the theories. Officials have yet to carry out an investigation of the plane crash.
Ukrainian officials are now claiming that Russian-backed rebels were
involved in the downing of the plane. Ukrainian President Petro
Poroshenko described the plane going down as an act of terrorism,
according to The Associated Press.
On Twitter, users have already started tweeting their ideas.
“I’m trying to research why Malaysia airlines is always in a world
mystery .. What is the conspiracy or reason behind these events !!!!
???” one person wrote.
Added another, “Cmon, they expect us to believe this is a coincidence? Cmon. Malaysia flight crashes in Ukraine.”
Said another, “Smh this is another conspiracy though. Malaysia plane
shot by Ukraine? USA intervening? We’re being kidded again.”
“Russia just started World War III,” wrote another.
“Another plane of the same malaysian airlines ‘shot down’ by ‘terrorist’ I’m feelin a world war 3 comin on,” said another.Just minutes after the plane went down, a popular conspiracy-related website uploaded one
which claims that IMF director Christine Lagarde had something to do
with it. The site also says the plane was shot down on 7/17/14 or
17/7/14 after it was built “17 years ago.”
AP update – Obama, Putin discuss Malaysia plane incident
MOSCOW (AP) — The Kremlin says Russian President Vladimir Putin and
President Barack Obama have discussed the Malaysia Airlines plane
incident over eastern Ukraine.
The Kremlin website published a statement late Thursday that says
“the Russian leader informed the U.S. president of the report from air
traffic controllers that the Malaysian plane had crashed on Ukrainian
territory, which had arrived immediately before the phone call.”
The statement gave no further details about what the leaders
discussed with regard to the plane crash. The rest of the phone call was
dedicated to the general situation in eastern Ukraine, and recent U.S.
sanctions against Russian individuals and companies.
