Default Flight 370; may have been shot down

'U.S. military shot down MH370 because they thought it had been (compromised) and was about to be used in terror attack', claims former airline boss Marc Dugain.

Says U.S. Navy in Indian Ocean attacked the plane
He claims that islanders saw the plane fly close to a U.S. base
Also alleges that a spy told him to back away from his probe into MH370


A former airline boss and writer claims the U.S. downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 because the military feared it had been taken over by hackers and was about to be used in a 9/11-style attack.
Marc Dugain, the former chief executive of now-defunct Proteus Airlines, said the jumbo jet was shot down near a U.S. military base on the remote island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean after it was hacked.
He told Paris Match that islanders in the Maldives near Diego Garcia told him they saw the missing aircraft flying low.
Dugain spoke of a fisherman on a small island who spoke of a 'huge plane' in Malaysie Airline's colours on March 8.

He also said islanders had found a fire extinguisher from the plane in the water near Baarah island.



The U.S. Navy Support Facility at Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory. Dugain claims the U.S. feared the plane was about to be used in a terror outrage.

The Daily Fail reports it 24 hours ago and it seems not one other mainstream source has picked it up.

Should tell ya something...

Nonsense. The plane would have been on fumes by the time it got toe Diego Garcia. And the US military would not hide the fact it took down a threat.

Besides taking that type of action would have required waking the POTUS and having him give the shoot down order. And that would not have happened either.

Flying on fumes could explain why it was flying so low.

I don't trust our government to tell us the truth about, well, just about anything. How quickly we forget Clapper telling us point blank they were NOT spying on American citizens. Enter Snowden. Oh, I guess I misspoke. BS.

And I do believe that our service members can indeed be goaded into silence, if need be. After all, it took decades before the USS Liberty survivors actually started to tell the story of what happened that day.

The .gov lie to the people. You must be kidding!!! Of course insert maximum sarcasm here!!! Had it been shot down though, there would've been stuff floating everywhere, and by now would've been found. The aircraft and all on it are fish food at the bottom of the ocean. I would pretty much bet my last dime, it ran out of gas, gently glided in, sank, and there you go. It will eventually be found, but that doesn't help the passengers.

We really won't know if the US landed on the Moon until the Chinese Moon landing takes place, and they can actually confirm that they found our flag and other space stuff on the Moon.

Aircraft do NOT vanish, without a trace. There's something not right about this whole scenario.

They do, and sometimes they do it 6 at a time...

What is your point? Planes can only disappear without a trace between Bermuda, Miami and Cape Hatteras?

It happens, it happened again.

Maybe Darth Vader caught it in the Executor's tractor beam and they're long gone.

Mock if you want to. Personally, I don't believe in the Bermuda Triangle. But then, I don't have to believe in that to know 5 Avengers and a search plane disappeared that day, without a trace. That is fact. So, to say "planes do NOT just disappear without a trace" is incorrect. They have, and still do.
