'Contact lost' with Malaysia Airlines plane

[Atlas23]

Damn you to hell I say!

Gullible meter is off the chart when we've been waiting so long for developments

 

[Jokester]

Looking at tomorrow's paper's front pages, it's a conspiracy nut's wet dream.

 

[Lysander]

come on guys... I reckon its pretty clear the plane is resting on the seabed

But it's not clear. The fact that it was taken deliberately gives it a whole new angle. Otherwise I'd agree with you.

double penetration

Based on what?

Most of the earth is covered by water so makes sense........

>99% of recent plane landings occurred on solid ground, so the %s say it's not in the water....

 

[Trusty]

Dowieeeee! Don't do that to us Absolute cliff hanger!

 

[mattyg]

>99% of recent plane landings occurred on solid ground, so the %s say it's not in the water....

So 1% ditch in the wet stuff

 

[touch]

Nope

 

[Tuppy_Glossop]

Don't forget seaplanes.

whats the % for crashes where the plane isn't found for several days and even its rough location isn't known? (aside from likely Indian Ocean, less likely south China sea)

Good! I thought for a minute you were going to link to ATS or something...

If you haven't found it how can you classify it as a crash ?

well you can call it a landing if you like, but its probably sunk shortly afterwards.... end result is the same

Is it like schrodingers cat? Until we find the crash or landing site, the plane is still in the air

I'm trying to illustrate that no matter what the probability density function is

for crashes where the plane isn't found for several days and even its rough location isn't known

it isn't applicable here since we don't yet know if it has crashed or not.

Are you picking up what I'm laying down ?

Wouldn't that mean the plane is both flying and landed/crashed?
