Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's not much of a conspiracy when you
realize that the same person also registered every other not already
taken "flightN.com" domain where 0 < N < 1000 (I Think it's that range
-- didn't look too hard at the 4-digit number range), though not quite
all at the same time.

Domain squatting with an eye to making a quick buck on the back of on
airline disaster?

That must be some kind of new low...
