Something about it has seemed fishy from the start. Too many conflicting stories and reports from the government of Malaysia itself. Weird.

That's because they have all these reporters that don't have the faintest clue about what they're talking about but have to fill 2 minutes of air time. For example, when was the last time a piece of wreckage 85' long was recovered? HINT: never. The largest piece recovered in a similar incident in the Atlantic was the vertical stabilizer.

Yeah, I don't get it either. We put a microchip in our dogs just in case they go missing, but we can't find a plane with hundreds of people on it? This is supposed to be a high tech operation, right?

The Indian Ocean covers over 28 million square miles and an intact 777 is about 240 feet long with a wingspan of about 200 feet -- talk about a needle in a haystack.

I know where it is...just sayin

Dagnabbit, Mishele - I thought we agreed we won't say anything. Now I'm beginning to wonder what other thing you'll let slip out. Sigh. Training manual, chapter 12 - section 18 "There will be things that will be known to you that shall not be revealed to those who have not gone through the training, and have not mastered the art."

Really.

well, on another part of this discussion. since they have no idea on this one. Has anyone noticed heightened precautions, increased security, maybe more tech requirements being considered to prevent another potential incident?

did they raise the terrorism threat level or call the cia or anything to go searching and come up with a risk analysis?

You must of missed the part in chapter 15 where it said "Mishele can do whatever she damn well pleases and you will kneel before her". LOL

Funny you mention that. Chapter 15 is the "Exceptions" chapter, and in my copy, it is written in pencil. Hmmm.

Actually, that's in the introduction and chapter one.

You got a later copy. Paul is a prime example on why I changed things! hehe

First, there is an average of approximately 5,000 commercial aircraft in the air just in the US at any given moment, world wide it is quite a lot more. Here is a short video that shows the air traffic for 24 hours.
Factor in the number of military and private aircraft and the number grows even greater.

Second, were dealing with a 3rd world country whose radar and traffic control system is probably from the 60's at best. They have no satellites and no way to put any in orbit. Hell the cost of one satellite would be a big chunk of their entire governments budget. The cost of putting a satellite into obit for them is unthinkable.

Third, contrary to popular belief the world wide tracking of aircraft isn't all that great at this point in time.BBC News - How do you track a plane?

Satellite coverage of this type gets pretty spotty over the ocean. It's easy to loose coverage of aircraft over the oceans of the world.

Why isn't it better? Because people would have to pay for it. It isn't going to be cheap and besides, that would mean more and bigger government and lord knows for some people that is a bigger mortal sin than killing someone.

What is truly funny about that situation, they are the same ones that holler the loudest about something ought to be done and start all the crazy conspiracy theory talk.

bribrius · Mar 30, 2014

i think it is a total conspiracy and i want a much smaller, near non-existent government. But i'm willing to sacrifice not knowing what happened to the plane for that. In fact i would sacrifice a thousand planes for that. I would just stop using air travel as much as the survivability rate diminished.
