I am one of those people that relishes research…….I hear something and I find out as much as I can and possibly write about it……not an attractive trait to most people……but I love research!

Have you been watching the news?  Of course you have!  The whole world has stopped to see and speculate where flight #370 has gotten off…..did it go north….wait!  West?  Crap!  Now South?  Was it terrorism?  Maybe some glitch in the network?  Pilot error is always a good thing to blame….that way you (the media) can protect the dignity of the plane maker.  How does a 777 disappear without a trace?  David Copperfield was in Vegas at the time….cannot blame him.  So where is this damn plane?

Forget the Ukraine……never mind about some random building exploding in NYC.  NO!  We must know everything about this plane.  Even though there is absolutely nothing to be known at this time.

Damn!  Sounds a lot like an episode of the “Ancient Aliens”.  A normal flight that disappears from radar never to be seen again.  Were there special lights just before or after the disappearance?  Is there someone sitting around a table writing a new episode?

Maybe….but let me help the mental midgets with the story……this is NOT the first plane in recent history to have this occurrence…..

For those suggesting that the disappearance of Flight 370 is unparalleled in aviation history, Vocativ would like to remind them that another large Boeing jet took off from an airstrip in Angola in 2003 and hasn’t been seen since. Big difference: That jet had no passengers aboard, but the circumstances surrounding its disappearance are pretty strange nonetheless. Two mechanics—American Ben Charles Padilla and Congolese assistant John Mikel Mutantu—boarded the Boeing 727 on a Luanda airstrip to get it in shape for its next flight. Neither had a pilot’s license, which is why flight controllers were stunned when the plane taxied to the runway and then took off. Was it Padilla? Mutantu? Both? Hijackers who had slipped aboard? Investigators still don’t know, and no sign of the plane has turned up despite an intense international hunt. Some of the theories being tossed around in regard to Flight 370—it crashed into the ocean, it landed secretly, it got shot down by some nation’s military—were similarly floated back then. But “we many never know for sure where it went,” concluded an earlier investigation by Air & Space magazine. It was at the time the largest aircraft to go missing, but the Malaysian jet will take that distinction if it doesn’t turn up.

Where oh where has our little planes gone?

Now have I got your attention?
