    Last report I just caught was that 3 different electronic signal emitters switched off at 3 different times...

    Not seconds apart but 10's of minutes apart, so if that is true then things just got real curious, I do not know if it is true I just know, but that is the last that was reported..

    The answer to this all is very simple. The pilots, plagued with guilt, clearly decided that they no longer participate in poisoning innocent people via "chem-trails." The powers at be simply made the "problem" "go away."

    A friend recalled this incident

    I went up in a small plane with a friend of mine and the engine cut out. I found out what the propeller at the front is there for. It's to keep the pilot cool. You should have seen him sweat when it stopped!

    Luckily they put down on a quiet road.

    "It's a small world" doesn't apply looking for small things in the ocean! Feel sorry for the families just not knowing what all happened. It seems to come out eventually, that Air France flight took a few years to figure out.

    Apparently still safer than car travel. Though crash investigators never take years to figure out what happened to a car.

    Several years ago we had a senior member here who would actually come with something like this for real. And then be offended if we didn't believe him.

    Man I don't know about the rest of the world, but the Channels over here are all about the 4-5 hours that the flight may have taken after the last known position, it seems like they are all feeding off each other propagating rumors as fast as they can

    One thing that this entire incident makes you realize is just how big a world is really out there, I heard one example of the size of the current search area that just rocked me back in my seat for a second... "The search area has now been expanded so that it is equal to 6 times the size of the US"

    Well if you consider that they knew the plane was at "X" when it was last radar identified and then it had 5.5 hours more fuel on board. Some quick math reveals that the plane could be anywhere inside a circle with a radius of say 2500 miles or about 19.5 million square miles of mostly water.

    Unless the theory that the plane was "stolen" and flown to an airfield for a later "nefarious" purpose (reportedly a favorite theory of the US military at this point), the chances of ever finding this plane are approaching NIL.

    PS. Happy Pi Day!

    I hate the way the "news media" just has to talk to fill air time. They do nothing to help... And I've learned that they love to have "experts" on there that just hype everything up more so than it really is. The only one I've heard that seems to be an expert professional instead of a professional expert is the guy that was on the NTSB.

    Just think to a time when the media has gone bezerko on something that you are very knowledgable about. How much did they get wrong? That has become my standard with which I listen to the news media.

    Humans are notorious for making stuff up when we don't have answers. That's why science is a "discipline!" It goes against our very nature to throw up our hands and admit we haven't a clue.

    Its too bad really!!

    In the mean time, the human element removed, even a rational person can take pleasure in the theory's !
