Is it not possible for someone with nefarious intent claim their passport stolen when indeed it was not stolen? Also isn't there a database of stolen passports to prevent them being used by others to board craft and used to access secure places? I'm not on board with the idea they'd just take someone's call as proof of anything, in a case like this.

How did the manifest get changed so quickly? There would need to be verification that the person was indeed not on board. Some proffer of claim of identity. Not a phone call from someone saying they're alive.

Sorry. Which question?
You answered your own question. Verification of the people being alive, by definition, means the person that boarded the plane with that passport - previously reported stolen - is not them.
Hence, an update to manifest.

How can too much attention be given to passengers boarding with fake credentials? Then said boarded plane disappears from radar at 30,000+!!!
To not investigate who actually boarded the plane, since that is one thing you can at this point, is nonsensical.

Sure it could. Playing devils advocate here...
The wing repair finally fails, snapping a portion of the wing off. This immediately throws the plane into a roll. Being on autopilot, with no warning, the crew takes a second or two to realize they are in trouble, during which time the aircraft is under a lot of stress it's not designed for, leading to an inflight breakup. All so fast they couldn't get a warning out.
Or, the wing breaks, there's an explosion in the fuel tank leading to the plane blowing up.

Its hard not to "get the feeling" its all going to kick off big time, soon.
You do know that planes have crashed since day 1 right?
The will continue to crash at a much smaller rate then just about any other form of mass transportation.
I hope for the sake of anyone on the plane that it has not crashed but if it did, based on the info presented , a much more likely scenario is it suffered some mechanical or human failure vs IllumiNSAMasons blowing it up to start the NWO.edit on 2014pAmerica/Chicago3107ppm by opethPA because: fixing errors

I dont think people know how many passports go missing. In 2011, there were almost 300,000 missing passports in America alone. Over 50,000 definitely stolen. That is one country for one year. Period. Extrapolate that over the entire world. That doesnt even cover counterfeit passports....
Stolen passports are shockingly common in HUGE numbers.

Could you please provide an official link for that because what I'm getting is a HUGE statistics discrepancy on my end.Thanks.
Again, I didn't question passports were stolen. I question how and why the manifest was changed so quickly. But thanks for your quick and calculated responses. Now if I could only get one to the question on the manifest.

This is straying off topic so this is my last thoughts on that, but feel free to pursue any avenue you feel likely.
The overwhelming huge number of stolen passports out there prove that your assertion they are all on every database out there precluding their use is false.
I dont know how many people who took bombs on planes used their own passport or someone else's passport, so the status of those passports does not mean that the users of them did so to explode the plane.
Stolen passport does not equal terrorist.
Foreign ministry officials in Italy and Austria said the names of two nationals from those countries listed on the flight's manifest matched passports reported stolen in Thailand.
It seems that the Italian and Australian ministers offered verification of the stolen passports. Then there's this from this link.

If you look up above I did answer that question specifically in a reply to you, directly.
I know the this thread is moving fast, so that can happen.
China Southern, who jointly shared the route with Malaysian Airlines in what is termed in the industry a 'code share', said in a statement it had sold tickets to one Austrian and one Italian
