You couldn't be more wrong. Knowledge or lack of knowledge has little to do with paranoia. I know plenty of people paranoid because of knowledge.
Strange, for sure, but it took two years to find and recover bodies and black boxes from the Air France jet that went down in the Atlantic a few years ago.
I didn't read all this thread, so pardon if this is a repost, but it is interesting nonetheless. http://m.theaustralian.com.au/news/...ian-airlines-jet/story-e6frg6so-1226856562011
Do you recall how far off the coast of Brazil that crash occurred? I didn't realize it took that long to recover the boxes and the bodies.
About 450 miles off the coast. They discovered floating wreckage after 5 days but the plane was 15,000 feet down. Recovery took a very long time.
Recovery took so long for AF447 because they looked in the wrong area for a year and a half. As soon as they started looking in the correct area, they found it pretty quick. There were some politics involved that fueled some pig-headedness from my understanding. "Experts" were called back in to take a look at he ocean currents at the time the aircraft went down. They then developed a new search grid further away from where they had previously looked. Also, the wreckage was approximately 2 miles deep. That in itself presented a challenge as you can imagine. This incident we may never know what happened, even if they do find the wreckage and black boxes. Only the last two hours are recorded. That aircraft was missing for 7 hours before it crashed, so there will be at least five hours of things happening that there will be no record of unless there is a survivor.
I suppose you are correct. It can also come from good old fashioned mental illness. However, I am not paranoid, nor fearful, nor mentally ill. I don't trust the government and I often dislike and sometimes hate our government. I still love this country and what I believe it can be. I like to focus on the goodness of others and that doesn't exist much in the political sphere IMO.
Phobia? Lol. Not even close. No anxiety, nothing illogical or unexplained, no avoidance. Simple mistrust. I don't believe what comes out of the US gov't or take it on face value "just because". Way too many Presidents, members of Congress, the FBI and the CIA have been caught cheating, lying, stealing, truth twisting, and now sexting, that there is no rational reason to think as a whole that the government should be trusted.
I should say that sounds less like distrust of government than distrust of politicians and officials. This has existed since the dawn of governments and everybody shares it to a degree. It's the fear and loathing of the government by the kooksters that bother me.
The Independent cites sources saying Malaysian officials are seeking permission to investigate a theory flight MH370 was "deliberately flown under the radar to Taliban-controlled bases on the border of Afghanistan." According to the report, the theory suggests the missing plane may have "flown to one of a number of Taliban strongholds on the Afghan border in North West Pakistan." The report also states a Boeing 777 would need a landing strip of 5,000 feet, narrowing the field of possible sites near the Afghanistan border controlled by the Taliban.
