Now they're saying the plane was carrying a load of lithium batteries.

Until Fox news regurgitates this into something stupid.
 
They were also carrying some jet fuel. So what. I've seen diet soda and mentos launch a rocket. Why not write an article about that possible connection. This article is the dumbest thing I've seen yet about this missing plane.
 
Pulhleeez... Maybe the batteries took control of the plane and set all those course corrections on the autopilot. Give me a break.
While lithium batteries have brought down planes before, I doubt it had anything to do with MH370. This does make me think of a recent (FAA?) article saying the 787 lithium batteries had cleared some other regulatory safety hurdle recently (Sorry I know 787 is a different thread). But, I recall watching the whole stupid Boeing press conference and not once did I see that they actually monitored individual cell voltages. Has anyone heard anything on that matter? My impression was they stuck a dozen bandages on it but never fixed the actual problem...
 
The way the US press is using this is worse than any so-called reality show. The five corporations that own our media must think we're complete idiots.

The story certainly has captured the imagination of the public across a spectrum of psychologies. IMO the "media" is just holding up a mirror.

Either way, the theory de jour is all about the batteries. Tomorrow it will be something else, and so on until the news cycle tires of it and moves on... at least until either some definitive wreckage is found, or the plane resurfaces, likely in the form of a weapon.

Not so much as mirror as their continued work to use FUD to keep eyes on their broadcasts to keep their advertisers happy. Any society fed a constant stream of fear-inducing garbage will react the same way.

The only way to beat them is to stop watching. I go outside the US for news, and since disconnecting from the insanity that is the US media, my definition of 'news' has changed a fair amount. ;)

Maybe the idiots can explain how a box of e-cigs with lithium cells crawled forward and disabled the satellite maintenance link before setting off fire alarms inside the cargo hold. Talk about new smart battery tech...
 
Perhaps a shipping container fell from the sky and hit the plane and thats why there is the satellite footage of a large object in the ocean. The best one I heard on the news was a black hole theory, apparently they are getting closer to earth.

Another news source speculated that the batteries caught fire and produced toxic fumes that killed the crew and probably everyone else on board.

That does not seem entirely implausible.

At least it explains almost all aspects of the case without introducing some external force/event.

Satellite "footage"? :lol: Is there a charge if you don't rewind?

I thought a black hole was a star that collapsed. That would really suck if we had one of those on earth.

As my 7th grade science teacher said, you can't prove it and you can't disprove it, so it's a possibility.
