No. For being an asshole.

it seems a pure mystery that nobody on board that plane got the chance to contact home in the time leading up to its disappearance,

we seen with 9/11 that people on board planes were able to ring and let family know they were in trouble,

Why is he an asshole? The guy is only proposing his own theory and he did say - "My guess is as good as anyone else's." Which it is, because the powers that be seem to be pretty clueless right now?

You mustn't be familiar with his full body of work. Google him, read up a bit about him, then come back and say he isn't an asshole.

The 9/11 planes were over land in range of GSM masts, this flight was over the sea well out side the range of any GSM masts so no one would have any coverage.

You also have to wonder if the folk on board had any inclination anything was untoward at all. Sure they may have thought everything was hunky dory !
How would they have known ?

Limbaugh is a total asshole. I am not a 'liberal' in the idiotic US sense that seems to be gaining ground outside their own political ghetto.

Another civilian plane shot down was the Iran Air flight 655 in 1988 by the US navy.

Is it now fairly unlikely that Malaysia Airlines was shot down when whatever happened was controlled from the plane with transponder/tracker being switched off etc.

Lockerbie was the result of the clowns actions on board that ship.

There is no guarantee of that.

How Israel Spoofed Syria’s Air Defense System

• By Sharon Weinberger

Earlier this month, Israeli fighters bombed a suspected nuclear materials site in Syria. Here’s the million dollar question: How did they do it without tipping off Syria’s Russian-bought air defense radar? Radar expert Dave Fulghum over at Aviation Week’s Ares blog may have the answer: Israel hacked the network.

U.S. aerospace industry and retired military officials indicated today that a technology like the U.S.-developed “Suter” airborne network attack system developed by BAE Systems and integrated into U.S. unmanned aircraft by L-3 Communications was used by the Israelis. The system has been used or at least tested operationally in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last year.
The technology allows users to invade communications networks, see what enemy sensors see and even take over as systems administrator so sensors can be manipulated into positions so that approaching aircraft can’t be seen, they say. The process involves locating enemy emitters with great precision and then directing data streams into them that can include false targets and misleading messages algorithms that allow a number of activities including control.

Whether this is the final explanation is unclear, but as Fulghum notes, there’s a bunch of Russian radar engineers studying the strike right now.
