Note: Increasing amounts of flammable methane and hydrogen sulfide are entering the atmosphere every minute of every hour of every day. Sometimes enough gas will accumulate to ignite and/or explode, thus the rise of mysterious city-shaking explosions in recent years across the world, sometimes accompanied by a 'flash of light' and sometimes accompanied by a 'sulfur smell'. Fly a plane through a cloud of flammable gas and it may be destroyed by fire and/or explosion. Could be that's what happened here. We'll never know for sure because they're just gonna say it was a terrorist attack or something like that, regardless of the truth, in order to keep people calm and oblivious as they die. A small plane just burst into flame during flight then crashed and burned and killed all 4 people aboard in Tupelo (Mississippi), mentioned in the 2016-05-16 update...

Quote: "The aircraft disappeared from radar at 2.29am. 'There was a fire on board,' aviation expert Tim van Beveren told the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle. 'The system sent very clear messages. There was a lavatory smoke detected. A minute later, avionics compartment smoke detected...Two minutes later, the flight control units are failing.'"
Note: This is the 50th aircraft to smoke/burn/explode in 2016. That's probably a huge undercount though. A lot of small planes have crashed and burned and then they find the burning plane and some corpses. Some of those planes were probably on fire BEFORE they crashed, and that's why they crashed in the first place, but when you show up and all that's there is the smoldering wreckage of a plane on the ground, it's impossible to tell whether it was on fire before impact, especially when there are no survivors to discuss what happened...
