Quote:The corporate media is full of stories about how Flight 370 "could have" flown to China, or India, or Kyrgyzstan, or Australia. Notably, Diego Garcia is never mentioned. But a moment's thought shows why those alternative suggestions will not work. Every nation on Earth maintains air defense radars that detect incoming aircraft via skin-paint, and do not rely on transponders. We have a bunch here in Hawaii. Then there are radars used by coast guard, drug interdiction, and other law enforcement. They would all have picked up a target as large as a 777, which being a civilian airliner is not designed to be stealthy. Hence, the only direction flight 370 could have gone to not show up on any of those radars was to continue the course suggested by a line drawn from the location where the transponder shut off to the last radar contact near Silver Island, which points right at Diego Garcia.
