Malaysia recruiting witch doctors to find missing jet

[OldSchool2]

Those witch doctors make malaysia look no sillier than the us does when we have psychics who make claims about a disaster or where survivors are.

I'm not so sure we can top this:

"Using bamboo as 'binoculars' and smacking the ground, Zin and others performed rituals that included a flying carpet and a magic boat ..."

The above almost makes a Western séance look sane by comparison.

 

Oh I think we can come close to that. When air florida flight 90 crashed in the potomac many years ago, it came out that hopi indian elders, upset at a kachina mask (a sacred object to them) in some way connected to that flight or to washington, made a big deal about how the kachinas brought down the plane ...

But can kachinas dance and sing like a masked Jim Carrey?

This was in 1982 and my memory is a bit fuzzy. Knowing the hopi and having been up on their rez, I remember when this happened. Trying to find news from that long ago is hard tho lol. It made national news at the time.

 

Air Florida Flight 90, hit the 14th Street Bridge, Jan. 13, 1982.

 

I don't know if that helps you any with searching.

 

Living about 1/2 hour drive from DC, it probably sticks in my memory more than others on the Board.

I still cant find anything online about it. It was published in time magazine or some such at the time but it is too old to be found on the internet, or at least not easily found by me. It came at a time when I was into spiritual things, but not a Christian. I had spent time on the hopi rez, seen kachina dances and was into anthropology then. So it really stood out when the hopi elders made that claim.

Am I getting warm?

"An ancient Hopi Indian prophecy states, 'When the Blue Star Kachina makes its appearance in the heavens, the Fifth World will emerge'. This will be the Day of Purification. The Hopi name for the star Sirius is Blue Star Kachina. It will come when the Saquasohuh (Blue Star) Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask."

No thats not it. 

 

 

I remembered more about it last night. A group of hopi elders went to the smithsonian to look at artifacts from their tribe. They are big into recovering old artifacts. A kachina mask used in a specific ceremony was uncovered. The elders fled claiming that it was a terrible thing to reveal this particular kachina mask. That bad things would happen. Later that day or a day later, the plane went down. This was also written up in a science magazine but I cant recall which magazine offhand.

Its not the first time that I have been unable to find information on something that occurred prior to 1990. That was before stuff was put online. Many archived articles are not yet online.
