- they were too far out. between the brazilian air space and senegal.fiver
- I didn't realize there was such thing as "too far" for global positioning satellites.monospaced

According to their calculations, there's a 1-in-20 chance that a meteor would hit one flight over the past 20 years. Which isn't too crazy. But still, the odds of something so small falling from the sky and striking something else that's so small and moving so fast are close to nil, so while this is an interesting theory, the chances are good that it was just a malfunction of the airspeed indicators.

If you read about ANY jumbo jet crash in the ocean, where it crashed at high speeds, you would know these things just shatter. Millions of pieces floating around for weeks until its all collected. If they have literally scoured everywhere, then it must have landed safely and then sunk.

I just heard that the plane ran into a ufo mothership. Its invisible.

Now I'm half expecting the plane to land safely in Paris sometime this afternoon.

I wonder how many other planes were flying around that path at the same time ... there had to be several other planes around that area

This article really spells out just how unavoidable and terrifying the situation was.
- This article is outdated. The plane has not been found yet. They are not sure i broke up mid air.invo
- Yeah I think if it broke up in the air, there might be some parts floating around.CygnusZero4

I have to wonder why they don't use GPS or similar to at least try to check groundspeed against the airspeed indicators which seem to keep letting them down when the computers (and pilots) get confused by faulty airspeed readings...
- distance cloud density and electric fields at flying altitudes pretty much render consumer grade tracking uselessversion3
- but with industrial quality GPS? Wonder if they are even trying this... A Turkish charter jet crashed due to low airspeed..ribit
- .. due to pilots trusting faulty indicators and manually flying slow.ribit

If a mars rover can send high resolution photos back from Mars (several MILLION miles away), why can't a black box be made with a simple transmitter that can transmit the data stored on it?
- It's probably less than a few mb too...moth
- And they fucking managed to land that thing on mars - why are we still crashing on earth.invo
- mars mission loss rate is like 50% lately...ribit
- Because space is a mostly empty vacuum, whereas the ocean is superdeep and highly pressurized.duckofrubber
- i think we're talking real-time transmission, so while boxes are still in air...ribit

I totally agree with the Charles Wittmore Theory. My guess is that they are in another time on a moving island.

Alien Abduction?! Pfft - we all know what really happened here...

so you guys are insinuating that this is the BEST VIRAL EVER?

I shudder whenever I think about how deep the ocean is.
- why?digdre
- it pales in comparison to the depth of my love for you.dropdown
- HAHA!somatica
- dropdown's name reminds me of the ocean too, but he's cuter.juhls
