A look into the domain name for Flight447.com

I started to post this on a conspiracy board, but I'm sure it is all just a coincidence.

That being said, I also think it is downright ghoulish and disgusting that someone seeks to profit from death and tragedy.

As investigators seek to unravel the fate of Air France flight 447, there’s been speculation online about an unusual domain name registration made some two years prior to this week’s plane crash, flight447.com.

www.ozelwebtasarim.com... r-2007

If that's true, I wouldn't take Flight 449 either.

This outfit also registered most "flightN.com" domains where 0 < N < 1000, so there's nothing to this. Almost any flight 1-1000 has a domain reserved by these ambulance chasers.

I am not sure it is a coincidence, since the domain name redirects to the other website!

It really is downright horrible that someone uses an event like this to gain publicity! It's just wrong.

It's not a coincidence, but an attempt by this organization to capitalize on any incidents.

I agree. He can say he "feels bad for that flight" but why would someone register so many flight numbers unless you want eventually one of those
names to be in the headlines so that if someone searches for it, you can hawk your movies or whatever. It's beyond bad taste.
