Airplanes have crashed before and after exhaustive searches nothing
was ever found. People eventually stop looking and it's all over.
What does setting up a fake crash site accomplish?
People will think they have found the real crash and stop looking?
People will stop looking anyway, they always do.
Let's take a quick look at the total impossibility that you could set
up a fake plane crash site and get away with it. First you need all
the material for the fake crash on standby and ready to deploy faster
than the search and rescues crews. Material would include a look alike
airplane and look alike freshly dead bodies to match the general
appearance of all the passengers. You also need to dress up your
corpses with identification papers, personal effects, heirloom
jewelry, and recent dental work. (Not to mention matching DNA, I don't
want to get too scientific here.) That's quite a shopping list. Even
if you did have all that ready to go (which is 99.9% impossible and/or
unbelievable) next there would be thousands of investigators crawling
all over the fake wreck with fine tooth combs. So you can't deploy the
fake wreck in time and the fake wreck could never be good enough to
pass a typical plane wreck scrutiny.
However, I might be willing to suspend disbelief and let all that go
for the sake of a good story if you could just give me one thing - I
need a really frakkin' good reason to do so.
Anybody have one?
