Missing Aircraft - Air Malaysia MH370...
Incredible given todays technology that a plane can just "go missing" Plane went missing after 1 hour. No trace of debris on flight path. No mayday call. Plane just dropped off radar and all comms. http://news.yahoo.com/malaysia-probing-possible-terror-jet-mystery-040054668.html;_ylt=AwrSyCPo6htTqAoASGHQtDMD

They have found two slicks. No Debris or flotsam. Last I heard was that they were analyzing the slick to confirm its origination. There is speculation that the crew turned back, maybe the slick is from a fuel dump? But if that was the case, there is no declaration of an emergency or no change of flight plan. Flight just disappeared without any comms.

Re: Missing Aircraft - Air Malaysia MH370...
Fair enough JS4. But in all fairness, we have come a loooong way techwise since '99. But I hear you. The earth is huge, the ocean more so. Just amazed given all the tracking hardware on commercial air traffic operations, they can't say where the flight is within 5kms. Poor buggers, I hope the families get some answers soon. The Air France flight that went down some years back was also only found after a few days or so.

Re: Missing Aircraft - Air Malaysia MH370...
Telematics aren't installed as standard on international airlines. Some do it for numerous reasons, but most do not. So if radar contact is lost with the aircraft, it really can go missing anywhere between the loss of contact and the crash site...which is obviously an unknown location.

News yesterday was that two passengers boarded the aircraft with stolen passports, which gives rise to a suspicion of terrorism.
