But hey I also have an irrational fear of air travel even though I travel twice a year, humans weren't made to fly packed in a flying brick I guess Still weird they really have no idea where the plane is. I guess it's definitely a crash in sea for it to leave no trace. | ||

Source close to investigation says flight MH370 "is likely to have disintegrated at around 35,000ft". We heard this yes? Not sure how old that is but it is in the timeline from www.skynews.com | ||

I dont know much about camera technology but is it possible that satellite imagery could find the plane and track it? I feel like if this was possible it already would have been attemted It likely isn't perfect to track in hindsight, but they'll have it on several images. One of the commercial companies might have caught it in-air as well. | ||

Pretty sure you're more likely to die in your own bathtub or when crossing the street than in a plane crash. I can't remember the exact numbers but funnily enough being in an airplane 30000 feet in the air is one of the safest places to be. | ||

I do agree it is safer to fly than drive though. | ||

It is perplexing that up to now there is still nothing. Even if it "disintegrated" at cruising altitude wouldn't debris still fall (although that would greatly scatter it over a larger area but still). Over water, I would expect pieces like a seat/luggage to be found already either by those approaching the area they are scouring. If it did crash in the sea, the crash would have definitely broken pieces of the plane off and again, luggage right? Tearing sheets of aluminum and what not that could somehow float. If that were the case, it should theoretically be within the area they are scouring now. It is just odd though. If it was say a highjacking and they could theoretically scarmble the signals to disrupt comminications to any control tower, is there any nearby airfield or area they could theoretically land that is not an airport yet you could land a 777? I don't really know of such a place that would have that characteristic. OVerall just strange. I visit this thread to check on what you guys found out about it because it is just perplexing that in three days, with our current technology, still nothing. | ||

When I am driving I am anticipating that something could happen, like the stuff you see on Russian dash cam videos, a truck steering on your side or whatever. I feel like I have to be prepared to react in such a case, so I am always somewhat tense when driving, which is why I cant enjoy it whatsoever. In contrast when I use public transport, like a plane, I know that I cant do anything anyway, so I just relax. | ||
