Maybe cuz things didn’t go as planned? If the plane ended up at the bottom of an ocean instead of on land and with live hostages to negotiate over, maybe a terrorist group doesn’t want to take responsibility for it?
Just thinking aloud here, like so many others seem to be doing about this bizarre story. I think the most bizarre bit is how much sustained attention this story is getting. I know, “ratings ratings ratings!”, but still, it’s been the top story on CNN’s site for what, 8 or 9 days now? That’s craaaaaaaaaaaazy.
