He registered on September 11th, 2001. This makes him the best authority on planes that we have.

What kind of sound? Also, what was it filmed in?


That was part of the Time Tunnel intro. It was a big deal back then because a lot of shows (and a lot of television sets) were still black-and-white, so the announcer would intone "The Time Tunnel.... IN COLOR!" Man, I loved that show as a kid.

Sure, IN COLOR.

But I meant specifically, like "Panavision".

Maybe he is a plane? I think some planes went missing that day (considering controlled demolition took down the buildings...)

How long do the CVR and FDR have before they die?

Probably a few hundred years.

A few centuries from now some advanced futuristic society will find the plane and have a paragraph or two about how earth circa 2000 was a bunch of idiots living in the dark ages etc.

I sleep comfortably at night knowing in my heart of hearts that this plane experienced a major problem on board, of which the pilots did their best job to solve but were sadly unable to accomplish. Everyone is dead and it's probably the fault of a lazy engineer or mechanic.

Besides the loss of human life, the major issue here is the fact that we won't be able to gather any data from this event to incorporate in future changes to procedure or construction.

Strong, pathetic erections.

Seriously. The plane is either in the hands of Islamists in central Asia or at a secret US military base on an island in the Indian Ocean and you're loving dumb if you think otherwise.

except that it crashed obviously and malaysia dumpster airlines obviously bought the civic DX version of the 777 which is why nobody can tell where it crashed.

also it probably crashed because of some hilarious pilot error like last time a 777 crashed.

If that's really true, it's a whole new arms race. Seems like there's quite a bit of Western technology combined with US and NATO military pride on stake here. If the Chinese really found it, we can only hope that a NATO submarine can tow it away and re-find it.

I am not disappointed I lost the PGA Championship. Nope, I am not.
Man, if they actually did find it, what were the odds of blindingly finding the drat thing from the pinger? Needle in a haystack metaphors galore here.

Let the conspiracy theories about China knowing where to look commence.

Something like this might work both ways if you substitute creep with plane. Just a quick idea.

Unless another plane crashed there and we don't know about it, it's probably MAS370, surely?
