I mean, indulge me as I point on this common sense cap....
...a satellite somewhere can find my Jeep....boom, wherever it is...in what? Seconds?
Please do not mock my simplicity here but we got Robert, an engineer who can write for God’s sakes...that’s something new....who is essentially saying the same thing. Are we to keep on believing they do not know where this big jet is?
We all sit around and twiddle our thumbs but you know somebody somewhere knows what happened to that Jet....
I think the affected gubmints are working up the spin.
I thought it cute how quick ole China jumped in alleging some satellite of theirs found the wreckage.
To me that was advertising and nothing less. Doesn’t China have a flourishing satellite business?
Lookit, like Rod makes fishing rods and I write satire, we all still got some clues here. I suppose it’s none of our business save for the Americans on board but you got to know THIS administration is up to no good.
Yup. Good points all.
We don’t know, and neither does the press.
Great post. I’m getting there myself. Too many unanswered questions that should be known.
You don’t think they would all be protecting the Moosie pilot do you?
Since this is a Sunday morning talk show thread, let me talk about a Sunday morning talk show.
For it was perchance that I switched to CBS and there was Face the Nation. They had some Indian guy on there talking about the airplane so I wanted to hear.
Guy gets to say about one sentence before the very up to date Bob Schieffer cuts him off and says, I am not making this up...
“Let’s talk about Syria,” he says and with that I threw down my dish towel and screamed to the cats...”BY ALL MEANS LET’S TALK ABOUT SYRIA”....sheesh, I mean Syria is all in the news this week in front of missing airplanes and world invasions.
It was just so obvious that somebody at CBS wanted this on the air and it’s so freaking lame. I switched the channel in exasperation.
NEXT week I might want to talk about Syria but CBS thought it should be front and center and THIS is what’s wrong with the media.
I suspect they got a memo from the White House but I dunno.
That uses a different method. Your Jeep has a GPS in it, and the GPS in your Jeep finds its location with help from the GPS array. Your Jeep reports the location it "finds itself" at, typically via cell service, but could be by satellite, to whoever has the key/right to knowing the location of your Jeep.
Planes have GPS too, but I suspect that was turned off.

Heheheh. A frightening thought! Speaking as an engineer.
