Just because a group benefits from something doesn't mean they planned it.

They knew there were four planes because those four planes went off course and stopped responding. Surely you know that. If you don't know that, they you don't really want to know what happened. Right? The air traffic control system monitors all commercial airliners continuously. They go from one zone to the next, report to each zone as the enter it, are tracked on radar and by radio, and fly along set patterns unless instructed by controllers not to. They can't tell why they lose contact with a plane, but they can tell something is wrong. They had ordered all planes down, and they could tell where the planes that weren't responding were.
