Originally posted by Rupert I can see the cell phones not working over mid-ocean, but as the plane passed back over the mainland, why no cell phone calls? Not much about this makes any sense from what we have been told so far, does it?
Regards!
As far as I am concerned there are only 3 hard data points, the plane departed at a known time, it lost reliable communications about 45 minutes later over open water, and it is now lost. Everything else is single source, unconfirmed and speculation.
The press releases have been contradictory, misleading and downright confusing. Perhaps someone knows more, and is holding it close, but in all the reports there are, or seem to be gaps.
Even the reported turn, has gaps in it, happened at the limits admittedly of radar coverage, and might not be the same plane.
One thing I can guarantee is that if and when the plane is found, someone will produce the full track of evidence that leads to the discovery, and all the Monday-morning quarterbacks will come out and criticize the authorities for being stupid and not seeing the diamonds of data, in the surrounding mud more clearly.
