If they made planes bigger they'd be easier to find. I'm reading here that the Airbus A380 can fit 853 economy sized people or like 200 Kevin Smith's.

Now if they designed one that could haul a few thousand people maybe they wouldn't lose track of it.

if you really think about it we're all flying on one big space plane known as the earth

They left The Land of the Free, so I doubt they were real americans.

But they were business people out figuring ways of exploiting brown people and their resources, so they were real Americans.

Then what happens is you neglect to strap something down/the passengers get up and wander about and this happens:

Why does it take so long to get ships to a new area?

We have dozens of ships around, but will take them 4 days to get to this new slightly different area. Also ther are slightly rough seas and we don't want our boats to get splashed because they aren't waterproof.

Waterproofing installed on Tuesday.


And again, live streaming flight data. What century is this.

looking down at the world
I hope Chinatown is a pilot or like, industry insider at Boeing or whatever who can really espouse on the situation, maybe even works at CNN writing thousands of words on it per day, like really is aware of his poo poo and knows all the theories and stuff, like has this honed narrative in his head of the entire plane, like, thing: the entire chronicle, or whatever.

And this is how he lets off steam, like he jerks it in the shower and comes out and posts on SA every new page "guys, it's gone" and like, sighs. Ahh. And gazes wistfully out his window, wishing he wasn't infertile and his children were truly his.
