IF its a cover up, why would they choose this particular option as something for us to believe? Flew for 6 hours (off grid) and ran out of fuel, yeah, great fake story. It's totally bizarre.

I was at Popham on Sunday! Saved us with a very late breakfast when Thruxton was closed.
I'm a big fan of Compton Abbas, too.

I can't help but agreeing entirely.
If a government had shot it down accidentally (according to @bondjames and for whatever reason there was a global conspiracy between numerous governments to cover this up (that's a monumentally big if by the way) why not just say 'It was a terrorist bomb' and pick a mugshot of some poor passenger who looks a bit Muslim and blame it on him? Why convoy such a ludicrous story that leaves people asking more questions?
If goverments can't organise Brexit coherently, something which it's far more in their interests to get right, why would you think they could pull this caper off with such slickness?
Governments prove themselves daily to be a bunch of utterly clueless imbeciles. Every day of the week they can't do anything right but for a coverup that takes, at least, the governments of Malaysia, China, Australia, UK, US to be all involved they are bang on? Seriously? How did they coordinate all this? Did they have summit meetings where the ministers in charge of coverups all met in Reykjavik to thrash out the details of the story they would peddle?
I believe they found confirmed debris from this aircraft in 2017 after the official investigation was called off (why an investigation into something of this magnitude which has repurcussions and implications for air travel would ever be called off shocks me, but that's a different question). I am not sure if the debris, which has been handed over piecemeal to the Australians and French, helps to clarify what happened to the plane or not. Again, keep in mind we only know what we read about piecemeal, because the official search is over.
Re the official narrative, its based on data from the UK. So , if you are not convinced by it, then, by default, you are speculating at an international cover up involving many many people (from high up to number crunching admin people).
I think we are at a stage now that anything or anyone that goes missing is automatically connected/speculated to be a cover up (with zero evidence). Still happening with the McCann case with just mad speculation about a high profile "pedo" ring. There is no law that says we have to know everything.
What others choose to believe is outside my control however, and so I wouldn't want to be lumped in with those who come up with preposterous theories. I really don't have one.

This was a reminder of what happened almost 51 years ago (yes! I remember it!), on 31st May 1967, when the founder, chief executive and chief pilot of another Spanish airline, Spantax, as the final act of a flight from Palma de Mallorca that was designed to show journalists and would-be tourists how safe and reliable the carrier was after two of their DC-3 (!!!) had crashed, erroneously landed a Convair 990 Coronado with 128 pax on the predecessor of that Airbus runway, the airstrip of what was then Hamburger Flugzeugbau GmbH. Only that today's runway is long enough for even an A 380 freighter, while the airstrip then measured only 1,360 meters, and the Coronado normally required at least 1,650 for a safe landing. Still the pilot made it, and after having the passengers disembark, their baggage unloaded and maybe some superfluous fuel pumped out, actually managed to lift the 990 off the same runway and fly the remaining five minutes or so to Fuhlsbüttel.
The pilot, a former Iberia veteran, was lauded for his flying skills but also chastised for his lack of navigational expertise. Spantax was henceforth nicknamed Finkenwerder Airlines in Germany (as the only carrier ever to service that airport on a commercial flight), and the hop from Finkenwerder to Fuhlsbüttel is probably still the shortest flight ever to come into Hamburg Airport.
Spantax itself was not so lucky later on. In fact, the record was pretty disastrous.
Check the Wikipedia page on the carrier for a full list. Standout incidents: Another CV-990 on its way to Munich crashed in 1972 at Los Rodeos Airport, on Tenerife, killing 155, the worst air disaster in Spain until that collision of the KLM and Pan Am 747s in March 1977, also at Los Rodeos. In 1978, another Coronado skidded along the runway at Cologne-Bonn on its underbelly upon landing because the pilot had forgotten (!!!) to lower the landing gear - miraculously, no one was killed because the airport firefighters were there in time. Landing without landing gear was quickly designated a "Spantax landing" afterwards. The last major incident was the crash of a DC-10, destined for New York City, at Málaga, killing 50.
Spantax went bankrupt in 1988, with the "Finkenwerder" pilot, Rodolfo Bay Wright (an aviator's name if there ever was one) having helmed it until 1986.
These stunts put Bond to shame.
