You forgot cost per benefit.
Almost never does this scenario happen where no one knows the location of the crash within days. The 30-day minimum is in itself a fudge factor. I’d put money down you can’t find a single other crash that wasn’t found within the requirement period.
So, why waste money on a scenario that has a .1% chance of happening? (This conservative site should understand that, as we are supposed to oppose the “if it saves just one life!” safety-NAZI drivel.)
Hope no one dear to you is ever on one of those flights.
I have spent years at sea doing exactly this kind of stuff (including looking for lost people). This is one of the most inhospitable parts of the world ocean.
Don’t call me a NAZI. I have two kids who have been in the military serving this country. (one in combat)
“If it saves one life”! That is the coward’s way out (easy for you to say... it’s not your life). A “conservative site”? Yes. that is why7 I am here, but when I see stupid comments like yours, I wonder why you are here.
You sir (or madam ) are an idiot.
Go to hell! (If they ban me..;. fine!)
