Chinese Military Computer hackers break into a key defense satellite, a North Korean cargo ship drops a black box into the Indian Ocean, and a home flight simulator has traces of island landings in the Indian Ocean.

Two Malaysian airliners meet disaster within a few months. At the 2014 Sochi Olympics, Vladimir Putin contemplates his next move after the United States fails to deliver $1,000,000,000 that Putin deems belongs to him. A few days later, an airliner mysteriously disappears-believed to be at the bottom of the sea.
