nothing else than coincidences of course:

1) some days after the sr 111 crash the swiss ambassodor to canada went on a duty trip to switzerland where he died. according to official statements he fell down from a rail way platform and a coming train killed him.
2) somewhat later unknown people broke into the headoffice of swissair company (highly secured office department) and have stolen the secret files of swissair of the accident with sr 111.
3.) half a year later the chief investigator of the swiss federal office of air plane accidents, the most experienced helicopter pilot of sitzerland, hurni, crashed on a routine flight on the famous mountain eiger. all his documents concerning the sr 111 crash disappeared from his office.
4.) before the official report of the cause of the crash will be published swissair and the iunsurance companies came to an agreement.

of course all coincidences, all published, but never seen as part of a puzzle.

NB: today the directors of the board of directors of swissair, called for an extraordinary meeting, could decide to sell a strategic stake of siwssair to american airline, as swissair faces some problems due to the heavy and costly european expansion strategy. insider bet for sure that swissair will also anounce in december a strategic alliance with alitalia, the national air carrier of italy, acutally in majority hold by the state holding company iri.

: MILITARY PULSES CAUSE AIR CRASHES

: Air crashes blamed on military pulses

: Electromagnetic pulses from military craft may have been
: responsible
: for several civilian airline disasters in the past four years.
: If the
: theory is proved correct, it suggests navy ships and air force
: planes
: pose a lethal threat to passenger flights.
: Crash investigators have been startled by similarities between
: several tragedies. In particular, they have uncovered common
: features
: in two crashes: Swissair 111, on 2 September 1998, and TWA
: 800, on 17
: July 1996. Both planes took off from the same airport, New
: York's
: JFK, on the same day, a Wednesday, at the same minute, 8.19pm.
: Both
: followed the same route over Long Island. Both reported
: trouble in
: the same region of airspace, and both suffered catastrophic
: electrical malfunctions. And on both occasions the planes were
: flying
: at a time when extensive military exercises - involving
: submarines
: and US Navy P3 fighter planes - were being conducted.

: These factors - outlined by Elaine Scarry in the forthcoming
: issue of
: the New York Review of Books - suggest to many investigators
: that a
: routine weekly event, probably involving the generation of
: strong
: electromagnetic pulses by military personnel, may have
: triggered
: short-circuits in the two planes.

: In the case of the TWA 800 flight, this could have caused a
: spark to
: set off a fire in its fuel tanks. Alternatively, a pulse could
: have
: knocked out instruments, causing the Boeing 747 to spin out of
: control, making metal parts tear and produce sparks.

: In the case of the Swissair 111, a fire was reported in the
: cabin and
: the plane plunged into the sea off the coast of Nova Scotia.
