a hundred million dollars worth of journalism

The pilot of the plane which crash landed on the Hudson River in New York last week is the man of the hour.
The whole world wants to pat him on the back.
It is a little odd that he has not yet appeared on television.
It is extraordinary that he has not yet appeared to receive the honours every decent human being wishes to bestow on him.
In fact, it's well nigh inexplicable.
You know I can't help thinking it's almost as if the Captain who by the grace of God was able to land an engineless jet liner safely on the Hudson river right in the middle of New York without the loss of a single life among passengers and crew and people on the ground and people using the river, it's almost as if, I say, it's almost as if, he's being... debriefed.
Why would anyone need to debrief the Captain of a plane in these circumstances?
What on earth could he say that he needs to be warned not to say?
What story needs to be gotten straight?
Are Muslim terrorists once more sabotaging commercial aircraft in an attempt to commit mass murder in the free world?
Is a misguided polity prevailing among certain security services and aviation monitoring agencies, to wit, that the public needs to be prevented from finding out the truth about ongoing Arab Islamist Al Qaeda and/or Iranian sabotage operations?
Why on earth did an early official statement allege that both engines had been detached from the plane?
The plane was moored at dockside.
Finding out whether the engines were on the wings or not, should have been a simple task.
How was this incorrect statement about both engines being detached allowed into the public domain?
Were any of the engines detached?
We know one is genuinely missing now.
Was this one engine removed overnight from the dockside by shadowy agency operatives in order to begin their investigation without any public scrutiny?
Why did it take until this evening to retrieve the flight's data recorders?
Surely a diver simply had to follow the homing beacon and retrieve the recorders from the plane which was sitting at dockside?
Surely this was a priority.
My analysis of the current situation is that a concealment operation is underway.
Either as part a foolish misguided attempt to prevent negative publicity for the airline industry.
Or as part of an insane misguided attempt to prevent the public becoming alarmed at the true nature of Al Qaeda's infiltration of our societies.
Or as both.

I think it smells less of terrorists and more of sloppy airline inspectors and poor maintenance, myself.
