Suspicion Over Air France Crash Domain Name
June 4, 2 Comments - Author: Simon JohnsonA mystery is unraveling concerning the fate of Air Flight 447 and the domain name that was registered two years prior —flight447.com.
The domain owner is apparently Kari Bian, an Iranian film producer and executive producer of a film who claims the connection is coincidental. “It’s just an accident” he said. “I have nothing to do with anything. I feel really bad for that flight.” “I just put ‘flight’ in front of 1 through 1,000 and I register them,” he explained.

Shouldn’t this be easy to verify? Does he own other similar domains like flight449.com, etc.
The real suspicious activity is the recent registration of airfrancecrash.com as well as other relevant domain names by a PR firm. Their claim is that they are being altruistic by denying these registrations to “dirty domainers” (my quotes). Their claims of altruism are highly skeptical given the parked landing pages.
