    naval base **

  • 3. HammerHead | February 7th, 2010 at 3:28 pm

    yeah we do what do you think?

    PM Harriri offered his plane to transport the black boxes to Paris.

    Let the conspiracy theorists rejoice! Mike will definetly say the boxes were switched by mossad!

    if the black box is unbreakable why they dont make all the plane from the same material?

    If Aoun is so dumb, why are so many Lebanese following him …

    lots of unanswered questions ya Paul :P

  • 7. paul | February 7th, 2010 at 9:04 pm

    the same material N… :-)

    N10450

    I thought you knew the answer: Dumb and dumber!!

  • 9. Reminder | February 7th, 2010 at 11:49 pm

    the answer is ya nwebegh is that this material is a) expensive and more importantly b) as the structure becomes larger it becomes breakable… a key factor in the black box’s invulnerability is its small size… just like submarines, the smaller they are ( if made of the same material) the more they can submerge meaning the more they can resist underwater pressure… i thought LFers were geniuses?

    When an airplane is designed, you need to take into consideration its weight (called the dead load).
    The material of the black box is too heavy, hence the airplane will need a bigger engine to lift off. A bigger engine means more fuel will be consumed.

    why they call it Black Box w lawnou Orange???

  • 12. Reminder | February 8th, 2010 at 10:27 am

    amin, in physics such a device is called a black box..and lawnou orange or yellow or anything that shines hek u can easily spot it under water or in a crash…

  • 13. Tareq | February 8th, 2010 at 10:42 am

    Reminder, what does “physics” have to do with the name black box, the box is orange outside and black inside (like a typical Aouni), anything that people don’t understand how it works inside is called a black box, so Michel Aoun is also a black box.

    Also please tell the nawebigh in the tayyar who are now claiming they discovered the crash site since the first day that the material of the black box has nothing to do with protecting people, people die from the impact with the ground not from the material breaking ya geniuses.

    if ppl survive the crash (which sometimes they do) they better be saved asap and not weeks later… ppl die from several things in a crash watch discovery instead of mtv

  • 15. Amin | February 8th, 2010 at 12:06 pm

    thanks Reminder,

  • 16. paul | February 8th, 2010 at 1:38 pm

    i told you N, the same material…watch me i am here :-)

    Women make up half of the population, more than any other political group; it is no doubt that if we start moving, we will cause a stir! Supporting each others businesses will directly affect the development in the Arab region and their economical standings.

    Beirut has a navy base.. news to me..

  • 19. paul | February 8th, 2010 at 6:43 pm

    aviiiii, where are you man…

    i have read that israel is secretly evacuating its northern region residents…

  • 20. avi | February 8th, 2010 at 8:28 pm

    Maybe yes maybe not….Paul….Iran said we were weak I believe in actions not words.

  • 21. anonymous | February 9th, 2010 at 8:20 am

    u people r argueing about the black box material…..r u serious? dont u think that the plane was ment to crash….and the american ship ment to come and search for the bodies and plane parts and never find the black box only after more than 2 weeks….and mr.hariri offering a plane to hand in the black box to france…..dont u think this is something written and sutdied well as a scienario…….people wake up….there’s something under it….a new plane from a trusted airline doesnt simply crash…..

    DebkaFile tonight report on the crash. No real new information:

    Ethiopian Airline crash off Beirut was an act of Al-Qaeda terror
    DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 10, 2010, 1:51 PM (GMT+02:00)

    Evidence has reached DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources that the Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737-800 which crashed after takeoff from Beirut on January 25, killing all 92 aboard, was blown up in mid-air.
    This was an al-Qaeda operation timed for one month to the day after its failed attempt to destroy an American Northwest airliner bound for Detroit.
    It is becoming clear that either a bomb was planted on the Ethiopian flight with a timer or a passenger acted as suicide bomber.
    Western security agencies in the Middle East involved in combating al Qaeda believe that its planners picked on the Ethiopian flight for more than one reason apart from the date: They had been tipped off that a group of French undercover agents, including Maria Sanchez Pietton, wife of the French ambassador to Beirut, and top Hizballah operatives, including secretary general Hassan Nasrallah, would be aboard.
    Mme Pietton lost her life in the crash, while the Hizballah travelers were saved by switching to another flight at the last minute.
    The first bodies recovered from the Mediterranean off the Lebanese town of Naama showed all the hallmarks of explosion victims: They were found strapped to their seats with their heads, hands and feet blown off and scattered, typical effects of an explosive blast.
    Eye-witnesses at the time heard a loud explosion and saw the plane enveloped in a ball of fire as it gained altitude after takeoff from Beirut international airport.
    Both France and Hizballah have denied they were targets.
    Lebanese officials, led by prime minister Saad Hariri, have spent two weeks trying to hide the fact that the Ethiopian airline disaster was caused by terror. But Lebanese health minister Jawad Khalifeh gave the game away by a slip of the tongue Tuesday, Feb. 9: “The plane exploded during flight and the cabin, as well as the bodies of those on board, were dispersed into the sea, in different locations,” he said, trying to explain why some of the corpses were found dismembered.
    He then tried to correct himself by saying he “didn’t mean a military explosion.”
    More confirmation of a terrorist hand behind the attack is found in the deep involvement of US intelligence, including the FBI, in the investigation of the disaster from the first moment. The US survey ship Ocean Alert was dispatched to the area of the crash and dropped a miniature submarine into the depths to retrieve fragments of the airliner from the seabed.
    A US intelligence and naval headquarters was set up at Beirut harbor to coordinate the salvage of the plane from the sea. Treating the crash as terror-related, Washington ordered the plane to be reconstructed from recovered fragments to establish the site of the explosion and its cause.
    US officials are also shy of discussing the case in public and admitting the crash was caused by an act of terror. It took place on January 25, shortly after President Barack Obama said “Al-Qaeda has been weakened.” In an address to the American people to calm their anxieties after the Nigerian would-be bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had failed to detonate explosives carried in his underwear.
    Al Qaeda’s success in blowing a civilian airliner out of the sky over the Middle East proved the opposite. It therefore became the subject of a comprehensive cover-up, joined by France. Before the black box, recovered Tuesday, had even been examined, French sources announced that human error by the pilot was the cause of the Ethiopian airliner crash.
    DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources recall a previous al Qaeda attack on a civilian airliner in the Middle East.
    Six years ago, on January 8, 2004, an Egyptian charter blew up after takeoff at Sharm al-Sheikh for Cairo, killing all 148 French citizens aboard on their way back to Paris from a Red Sea vacation.
    Neither Cairo nor Paris ever admitted that the disaster was caused by terrorists

    This is an american and zionist run show. The people who caused the plane to crash are the same foreign countries we were allied to in the cedar revolution.
