AT&T merger with T-Mobile falls through; advising directors die in plane crash.
25 2011-12-20 by flattop100
We've all heard about the AT&T and T-Mobile merger falling through due to government reluctance.
AT&T was being advised on the deal by a small investment bank called "Greenhill & Company," and will be losing a significant amount of money since the deal isn't going through.
Two managing directors are killed when their plane crashes in New Jersey on takeoff.
A witness reports "the right wing fell off"
This doesn't sound suspicious, does it? Wings don't just fall off an airplane.

Reminds me of this:
http://spitfirelist.com/news/while-everyone-was-paying-attention-to-the-latest-lone-nut/
Less than one year ago: A merger between DUKE ENERGY and PROGRESS ENERGY (a merger pushed by Rudy Giuliani's law firm) was set to create the largest U.S. energy utility.
The Congressional lobbyist for Progress Energy (which had a heavy emphasis on solar markets) was Ashley Turton. Her husband was the Obama Administration's chief liason to the House of Representatives.
Turton died in a mysterious "car crash" in her own garage at a speed of zero, in which the car sustained almost zero fire damage, but Turton was burned to death. Photos at link.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist in any way, but I'm curious as to why the media is not mentioning the AT&T connection. As widely reported, the plane was due to land in a suburb of Atlanta, and AT&T is headquartered there.
The omission could be due to this being a fresh news story, or because of a sign of respect for the families of those who were lost.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist in any way EXCEPT I post in r/conspiracy and I have a theory to explain what I think happened.
After a while you have to stop saying "I'm not a (fill in the blank)" otherwise that is the first thing that people will suspect.

I am a conspiracy theorist, and here's my theory as to why the right wing fell off. The plane's hydraulics were bombed.
The eyewitness reports in the BBC article suggest a sequence:
- The plane is near I-287 and visible to motorists.
- An explosion is seen on the plane.
- The plane executes crazy maneuvers, verging on straight down.
- The wing comes off, possibly due to aero stress.
- The plane impacts on I-287, killing two men, a mother, and her two children.
Or, some old, busted component in the plane with pressurized oil ruptured and started a fire. Some tank burst and caused a fireball. Point is, wing falling off was a result of airframe exceeding viability envelope, not the cause of the crash.

"She told the Star-Ledger of Newark newspaper that there was an explosion as the aircraft went down."

No as the anti-trust laws would probably stop the merger anyway. The agreement would be conditional upon approval of FCC and Congress then via courts should another carrier sue for violation of anti-trust laws This would make AT&T the only GSM signal carrier in the US Market.
