[Tenacious 1]

Generally speaking.... How the hell does a 777 just go missing? I know we are all into the speculation. But I had to ask myself, what is the real fascination with this story? Why am I interested? A plane crash in itself is news but not necessarily worthy of the attention this is getting.

So I have honestly concluded that the fascination in longer about a potential plane crash. But rather, a huge and obvious flying object that can hardly be conspicuous cannot be found. With all the technology we have today, humans on this planet cannot find an airplane and don’t even know where to look. I understand the attraction to follow the mystery.

(Just doing an introspective reality check on myself)

You’ve accurately nailed *exactly* what I’ve been thinking. We’re so technologically “connected” to the world today and so used to being able to find information at the click of a button; it’s unnerving that a plane and 200+ people could seemingly vanish without a trace. A mystery indeed.

Looking back at naval air battles in the Pacific during WWII, considering the technology of the day, it's a marvel they were able to find each other, let alone engage in battle.

From what I get from the news and what I have read there were no distress calls from the pilot nor was there any signals from the plane it's self.
I do not believe this plane just vanished out of thin air like in the Bermuda triangle either.
This is far more nefarious, could it be possible that a foreign communist government sent their military jets up in the air and escorted the plane to a hidden military base to use as some kind of ransom ?
They don't know where the plane is, and planes that do crash send out all kinds of signals from the plane and beacon pings.
