I have a theory on Military Crashes that I'll share with you!

I reckon that when these aircraft go down, they always pad the numbers with one or two names, names of CIA or Military operatives, or just regular personnel they want to be "dead" in order for the families to believe they're dead. Then these dead people can become the next Jason Bournes of the CIA since in the eyes of the entire world they're already dead.

That's my theory anyway.

No disrespect intended to the victims of this current mishap mind you, I hope everyone on-board is OK.

You pulled the words right out of my mouth. I feel the same MAY very well COULD be said also for people who are reported to be incarcerated. But that's a different story.

My two cents anyways.

The term "casualties" includes both dead and wounded.
