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

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.

1. Shouldn't this be in creative speculation?

[Jesus Malverde]

2. Since you are host.

You can chat with others and lock it if you come to a consensus it's off topic.



It's being widely covered in the mainstream media overseas

[arely staircase]

3. why cover it up?

Especially with so many witnesses

[Jesus Malverde]

7. shades to TWA flight 800.

Maybe this narrows the search area.

[Jesus Malverde]

5. Regarding the lock

It's being covered by many reputable sources.

Zapdude is alright.

[Ykcutnek]

6. I'm not even a conspiracy theorist most of the time,

but there's a possibility it was shot down and more than one nation is aiding in the coverup.

China and the U.S. For sure. There's no way China doesn't know if we did something to it and vice versa.

[GGJohn]

10. Please don't get a post hidden for this shit.

Ain't worth it.

[GGJohn]

9. Yeah, I'm sure Pres. Obama ordered it shot down.

Give us a break.

[pinboy3niner]

11. Did you say Diego Garcia?

Diego Garcia is a small island in the Indian Ocean

12. Apparently with excellent radar capabilities.

[TwilightGardener]

13. Illogical. It posed no threat to the US or its territories in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Unless there was an aircraft carrier nearby or some other big US asset, why would we shoot it down--it would have been running out of fuel at that distance from Malaysia anyway. And then we spent a lot of money and naval resources searching for it afterward--why would we have done that? Biggest con job by a nation ever?

14. I heard that the Brooklyn murders were ochestrated

I read right here on DU

[GGJohn]

15. And those 2 NYPD officers were shot by a marksman,

I heard that here on DU also.

[Jesus Malverde]

17. "marksman"

Per wikipedia a marksman uses a rifle, there is nothing to indicate that is the case.

Wow malaise left some marks, man.

[Skittles]

18. no, theories like these leave their mark

they suck

[GGJohn]

22. Marksman can also refer to a pistol,

Navy and Coast Guard have ribbons for pistol marksman.

[Jesus Malverde]

16. They were "ochestrated"

As far as I know by one man who travelled up from baltimore and shot them.

[Skittles]

20. that was always true

but doesn't stop conspiracy theorists, does it?

[Jesus Malverde]

21. Often times the official narrative is itself describes a conspiracy.

Like bin laden from a cave in afganistan conspired with 18 hijackers who pulled off one of the greatest attacks on US soil ever.

[Skittles]

24. uh huh

over an out

[Jesus Malverde]

25. 10-4

[sarisataka]

19. A few questions

how could people on the Maldives see a plane near Diego Garcia- over 1000 km separates the islands.

What target on Diego Garcia would be worth the effort? It is a refueling base without any real permanent combat unit stationed there. They have MPS ships but one plane could only take out one ship; hardly worth the effort. Also the isolation would diminish the psychological impact, instead of a 9-11 attack it would be less effective than a car bomb in Ottumwa.

If the plane was hijacked and if US forces shot it down, what is the need for a coverup? The plane so far off its flight path could only indicate it was taken over by hijackers. We have stated that we would shoot down our own planes as a last resort. There would have been time to inform Malaysia of what was happening with the plane and our intent to stop it. Yes, there would be repercussions but much less than doing so secretly and covering it up once the act is discovered.

The easiest course would be to allow the attack to proceed. Personnel could evacuate to safe areas, damage would be minimal and repaired in thirty days or less. U.S. aircraft would be able to capture the whole event on camera proving that it was a terrorist act.

[Jesus Malverde]

23. Good questions.
