Sure, but this airline was dinky, and not likely to have the latest communications technology. The message was sent 'a few minutes' before the plane crashed, when it was likely at a fairly high altitude. I agree that its strange to call out a hoax when its this early in the investigation of what happened and how. I'm really curious about why they lost radio contact with the plane. They claim that passengers tried to take control of the plane, but then why couldn't these passengers, and supposedly a flight attendant, re-establish radio contact? The only thing that would make all of this fit together is if the cockpit had a critical loss of pressure that made it impossible to occupy. Then, even the passengers couldn't get in there for too long. But they may have been able to use the radio if even for just a minute. I'm waiting for them to find the voice recorder. That should tell the tale.
