That CNN article reports that there was one Italian passenger onboard... however the Italian who was supposedly onboard says his passport was stolen 6 months ago.

A Daily Telegraph article is currently claiming (08 Mar 18:27 UTC) that two stolen passports have apparently been used to board the missing aircraft; the first belonging to the Italian mentioned in the CNN report, and the second to an Austrian. The Austrian passport was reported stolen 2 years ago in Thailand. The Austrian Foreign Ministry reported that their citizen is safe and not on board the aircraft.

    > NTSB chief disagrees with you.

    Uggh. What is wrong with you? Are you drunk?

    "John Goglia, a former board member of the National Transportation Safety Board"

    Not the NTSB chief.
    Not even a former NTSB chief.
    Furthermore, he goes on to make the same bullshit speculations that assume the passport story is 100% accurate.
    So no, he's not disagreeing with me. He's just participating in the hype that the news sites are pushing because they have nothing else to talk about.
