This got me thinking, how did people know that a ship sank back in the 1400's? Was Chinatown's ancestors sitting on the dock a week after a ship was supposed to return saying "it's gone guys. Columbus isn't coming back"?

I was informed by a co-worker that the plane is intact! A passenger sent a message saying they are at an air force base! She told me this with a happy gleam in her eye.

for it to become a ghost plane it has to crash first.

for all we know if could still be out there, there is just a slightly delayed arrival.

The plane is inside me. I hear the whispers of lost souls gone mad, begging me to release them into the void, crying desperately as I deny them the joys of eternal nothingness. The sounds have become nothing more than pleasant white noise that comforts me when I sleep. I am the arbiter, and the keeper.

Gamera would never eat a plane. I mean, there were children on it, right?






He might have thought it was a monster and body slammed it though.

The plane will not be found for a very long time. It will eventually be found, decades from now, when some group is looking for something totally unrelated to this crash, and comes across the wreck, simply by chance. It will be a big news story for a day or two, some artifacts will be recovered to prove it is the flight, but by that time the bodies will be gone, and there will be nothing left that could prove what really happened. Event the Black boxes will be useless after so long in the brine. It will become a minor source of curiosity for a short time, then will be swept away by the latest scandal, terrorist attack or pandemic.





Or they will find it, and everybody will be zombies, still thrashing, but strapped in their seats amidst the wreckage.
