can you handle 12 hours a day of holding a piece of metal up in front of you with one hand, then another in the other hand, and going "hmm...hmmmmmmm...."

A routine flight ends in tragedy. Now investigators must put together the pieces to find out what caused a modern jet liner to fall from the sky.

gravity had something to do with it, of this i am certain.

Not always. Sometimes the sensors on the plane get hosed up and the pilots get confused and fly full-throttle into the sea lol

Obviously the muslim separatists from western China are stepping up their terror campaign. First, slice up a train station. Second, steal a bunch of passports and do a 9/11 on China.

Yes? Kind of loses effectiveness if you don't immediately claim it as if you weren't expecting it. Nobody's going to take you seriously if you wait a few weeks before going "Yeah, we did it.".

While I agree in part..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsibility_for_the_September_11_attacks

quote:

For several months after the 9/11 attacks, no one, nor any group, claimed responsibility for the attacks.

I was merely making the point that just because no one has claimed it, doesn't mean that this definitely was not an act of terrorism/that no one ever will claim responsibility.

Well poo poo. CNN and others are reporting that there were people using stolen passports from Austria and Italy on the plane. Italian foreign ministry confirms there were no actual Italian citizens on the flight.

E: Austrian ministry says Austrian citizen who was supposedly on the plane is actually safe, in Australia right now, and had their passport stolen.

So we are approaching day two and they still know absolutely nothing according the the news conference going on right now. They are saying they have yet to find a single piece of debris and the oil slicks are still unconfirmed to be from the plane.

What the gently caress is going on there? Can't they at least easily check to see if it was jet fuel, wouldn't that at least be a little progress?

When that Air France plane crashed into the ocean it took a day or two to find debris. And it took two years to find the the actual wreckage.

It's incredibly hard to locate down aircraft when you have no idea where it is. It's hard to find them when you have an idea of where it went down, especially when there is water involved. A few years ago a plane from the airfield I work at went down with two experienced pilots, no comms, just gone. Even though they knew within a thirteen square mile area of where they were doing maneuvers it took them almost two months to find the bird in the water.
