5'ed and bookmarked. Eager to see if they find the plane or not.

I may or may not have made a marriage pact with a fellow goon contingent on finding the plane. :heysexy:

I think they were asking why airplanes don't send constant GPS position, so that once they crash we know where.

The answer is that not enough people have crashed into the ocean and died to justify the cost of upgrading all the planes. Airlines only increase safety measures when enough folks die. :)

This seems like a cause I want to be a part of - how can I do my part to help?

Fly a LOT. Book tons of air travel, especially international. It's not guaranteed that you'll crash into the ocean and die, but if you do luck out and the plane does a 500mph ocean crash and your corpse disintegrates, and then nobody can find the plane, the global community might get outraged enough to coerce airlines to start tracking their airplanes. It's not a sure thing but if you wanna help start traveling and seeing the world. As a side bonus, even if you don't die while crashing into an ocean (argh!) you'll at least see a lot of cool places and experience other cultures.

They should just make the plane out of the same material they make the black box hurr.

They should make the plane out of GPSes.

I have a theory. It involves gravity.

What if it forgot to turn downward and flew in a straight line into space? We'd never find it. :stare:

unless they flew towards alpha centauri, made planetfall, and started a new civilization there

then, in a few centuries, their descendants will find us when they return at the head of a huge invasion fleet :tinfoil:

They have until July to find it.

The man in charge of the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370 has confirmed the underwater hunt off the West Australian coast will be called off as soon as July, unless significant new evidence emerges.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-05-17/mh370-search-to-be-called-off-as-soon-as-july/7420420

If not found by then, it will be lost forever.

I hope that after the government effort to not find the plane ends, a privatized effort to continue to not find the plane takes its place.

They lost another loving plane??

E: they had 59 passengers on an A320?? :wtf: how the hell is it that every time I'm on a drat Boeing 737 they cram 800 loving people on that thing and these jabronis are flying around with basically a pro football roster on an entire A320???

Once on a 747 I had a whole row to myself because the plane was mostly empty. Also it didn't crash into the ocean, so I enjoyed it for 2 reasons.

Turns out the pilot had used his flight simulator to simulate a flight where he veered off the normal path and flew to the southern Indian Ocean which is exactly what everybody thinks the plane did. So it would be a really huge coincidence if wasn't suicide.

It's gone.
