CNN Anchor suggest Malaysian Flight Swallowed by Black Hole

I'm convinced this Anchor is an ATS member. He has to be, right?

An excerpt...

Near the end of CNN's special primetime report on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 on Wednesday, anchor Don Lemon read a pair of tweets he received from viewers suggesting the plane's disappearance could be the result of a "black hole," Bermuda Triangle or an occurence akin to the television series "Lost."

Lemon then turned to Mary Schiavo, former inspector general of the U.S. Department of Transportation, and said, "I know it's preposterous, but is it preposterous, do you think, Mary?"

"It is," Schiavo replied. "A small black hole would suck in our entire universe. So we know it's not that. The Bermuda Triangle is often weather, and 'Lost' is a TV show."

"Right," Lemon said.

It's not the first time Lemon has invoked the supernatural to explain why the plane is missing.

On Sunday, Lemon said this: "Especially today, on a day when we deal with the supernatural, we go to church, the supernatural power of God. You deal with all of that. People are saying to me, why aren't you talking about the possibility — and I'm just putting it out there — that something odd happened to this plane, something beyond our understanding?"

In terms of speculating about the plane's disappearance, Lemon is certainly not alone. Everyone from Courtney Love to News Corp. Executive Chairman Rupert Murdoch seems eager to offer a theory about Malaysia Flight 370.

I wonder who he consulted before this theory?

Getting news material from twitter heads? Black hole? I trashed my cable 6 months ago and went to digital rabbit ears for my local programming. Just regular news on CBC reporting things that are 'normal' This CNN trash is nothing but a glorified tabloid channel.

This is why news anchors should never bend over

A small black hole would suck in our entire universe.

"Small Black Holes?" I didn't know there was such a thing. The implication I guess, that it would eat the plane and stop there instead of devouring the earth… the moon… the Sun.

I guess they are running out of ideas (thank you very much).

Crock O crap.......................

I think the key is the last portion of your quoted:

Ratings boost... while unfortunate, the missing jet, much more pressing newsworthy events are happening everyday, across the globe...

YET... we (in the US) are bombarded 24/7 with speculation on what may have occurred, isn't that what we do here? which is perfectly fine, folks trying to ponder what occurred , when did our so called NEWS outlets decide they can do the same and present it as NEWS?


I am an older dude.. so I still remember the boring as crap news at 6 PM everyday when I was a kid...

Sadly, my kids never were exposed to the same...

Our next generation needs to DEMAND truth... and thank goodness, they have access to a heckuva lot of info, opinions of folks across the globe here on ATS... They certainly won't get it from the MSM...

Report the news, let the folk's make up their own mind... pretty simple eh?

If you watch the video he says conspiracy theorists question the "black hole" idea not necessarily the anchor man your title is rather misleading. Maybe he asked those questions to get more hits on his video kinda like the title of your post.

The only thing a black hole swallowed was CNN ratings.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't tiny blackholes appear during CERN LHC tests? I think wormhole anyway is what the anchor meant.

Lemon's questions in this video came directly from Twitter and emails from viewers. But I do suspect CNN has some plants here on ATS.

What should really sicken people though is that they did for 4 or 5 nights straight a "Lightning Round" like it was a fun guessing game. And it appears it has caught on because Megan Kelley and Hannity at Fox started playing there own versions as well the past few evenings.

I'm waiting for a black hole to swallow CNN...

That would solve a lot of problems.

I guess since I remember those days as well, I can be considered old.

I have to think the 24hr news cycle began with the Waco/Gulf War/OJ trial time span. And it's never been the same since.

I'm hoping this is sarcasm.

If not..[edited my Moderator for being too bluntly honest using curse words]

While I do not think a black hole swallowed this plane, until I see some wreckage, I am in the camp that something "different" has happened. I would not be surprised if a mock plane is being made up right now with precise damage and the readying of a statement saying that no bodies were found, followed by a search for bodies in the spot of the "crash" that will also be fruitless. Hope I am wrong.

There are thousands of black holes that pass through the earth every day. They are microscopic and are often called primordial black holes. They are believed to be created when the Big Bang happened and are nowhere near the size of an astrophysical black hole.

An astrophysical black hole has a minimum mass of 10^30kgs, but the mass of mini black holes range from the tiny Planck mass to trillions of kilograms or more.

Even if a black hole did appear, I think it would be moving too fast to consume the whole plane. I say this because a black whole of 1kg in weight would take longer than the age of the universe to consume the earth.

He doesn't say it was a black hole, he is just quoting tweets. Is it possible, yes, but what did the first lady say.... if it was a black hole that was very small it would have ate up our universe. I think they are trying to lay these crazy conspiracies to rest. It was either a) crashed or b) hijacked. either of which could be combined in a number of theories. Lets just say it crashed, so all these theories are crazy! Whether its laying at bottom of ocean or in a hanger somewhere, people need to stop making up crazy theories in which never anything like such has happened, or will happen. Think logically here.

Interesting, and once again a black hole is possible but did not cause this without consuming our planet.

" anchor Don Lemon read a pair of tweets he received from viewers suggesting the plane's disappearance could be the result of a "black hole," Bermuda Triangle or an occurence akin to the television series "Lost."

That quote is from the article. I fail to see were the news anchor stated any of that himself? Misleading thread title.
If the news anchor did state it, That would be interesting.
