    I saw someone claim once that the plane was brought down by the United States because several high level computer engineers were on board and they were in the beginning process of taking on work with Chines computer firms.

    Is that true? Dunno, never followed up on it. But it seems more plausible than the claims in this letter.

      The Twitter OP does bring that up as a potential motivation for the US using wormholes to vanish the plane btw

        I love that in this mythology, the US gov' can warp space-time for practical use but is also worried about China having slightly better computer chips.

      (cw: self-harm) most plausible explanation is pilot suicide

        Not incompatible with the US whacking the engineers theory. They've "encouraged" such things before.

          They had the most prominent Indian nuclear scientist (Homi Jehangir Bhabha) murdered by crashing a passenger plane he was in. It was ways back though.
