The UK Express has the story Malaysian plane: 20 passengers worked for ELECTRONIC WARFARE and MILITARY RADAR firm.

Freescale Semiconductor, which makes powerful microchips for industries including defence, released the powerful new products to the American market on March 3.

Five days later, Flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing with 239 people on board including 20 working for Freescale.

Twelve were from Malaysia, while eight were Chinese nationals.

This is not the most incendiary rendition of this story I could find, but it may be close.  Of course, if you go directly to the conspiracy theory websites, you’ll find even more breathless prose.

You can compare this telling of the story to the Austin, Texas Statesman story Freescale mum on new Malaysia Airlines reports.

Now, I wouldn’t even present this if Roger and João hadn’t goaded me  into it 🙂
