March 20, 201412 yr I am going with alien abduction (short enough for yea) :ph34r: No, I can positively rule that one out. We gave that up around 1957. Nothing really interesting discovered except that, hoo-boy, evolution was not at all kind to life on this planet. Once we get the robots to the right level, we'll invite you all to migrate and life will be a lot simpler!

March 20, 201412 yr A good read. http://news.yahoo.com/flight-simulators-used-enthusiasts-worldwide-014652612--finance.html More than a "good read". That is actually a "return to sanity". CNN and the other news agencies should be totally embarrassed by that article.

March 20, 201412 yr A good way to hide the truth is to spread rumors and contradicting info to media outlets; instant experts will do the job! Those who know, won’t talk. My thoughts are on all involved Crew-Passengers-Families Ramón. Time, is the one thing no one can buy.
March 20, 201412 yr Please people, do yourselves all a favor and turn off CNN. I do not get CNN where I live, lucky me. My news sources are New Zealand Fairfax Media as well as surfing CBC from Canada and the BBC on the Internet, Between those three it is not so bad. Anything from the USA is over the top so I do feel for my friends back in the USA being bombarded with that junk Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

We get BBC America, and BBC World News. Unfortunately I just changed packages which doesn't include either anymore. Thanks Tom My Youtube Videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/tf51d

March 20, 201412 yr And AP weighs in with "stuff" and yours truly: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/A/AS_MALAYSIA_PLANE_FLIGHT_SIMULATOR?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2014-03-19-23-26-19 Pablum. No more, no less. Warmed over oatmeal anyone?
March 20, 201412 yr JuST announced, possible wreckage sighted, an RAAF Orion is on its way. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-03-20/abbott-says-possible-objects-found-mh370/5334314 It's sad if this all pan's out, that it means most likely all aboard has perished, but it also means there is no danger of any further acts, which could result in even more deaths and destruction, which was my greatest fear. This would be one case I would be glad I was wrong. Thanks Tom My Youtube Videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/tf51d
March 20, 201412 yr I just watched a news conference here in Australia conducted by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA). The first RAAF PC-3 Orion from RAAF Base Edinburgh in South Australia arrived in the area at 1450hrs today (Australian time). The largest object spotted in the satellite imagery is 24m in length and is more than 2,000km SW from Perth, Western Australia. HMAS Success (fleet replenishment ship, presumably dispatched because it has the capability to lift debris from the ocean) has been dispatched and will arrive in the area in several days. More RAAF aircraft will be dispatched tonight. Weather and visibility in the area of interest is not good and AMSA are cautioning that the debris may not even be from the aircraft and that the RAAF may also not be able to see it in the current weather conditions tonight. Fingers crossed they can find it and if it is the aircraft, hopefully the black boxes can be retrieved and we can find out just what happened to the aircraft. So far, this is the best lead in the search for the aircraft. The guys flying those planes are the best in the business - they found and helped rescue British sailor Tony Bullimore in the Southern Ocean when his yacht was crippled in a round-the-world race years ago and at the time, it was the furthest south the RAAF Orions and RAN frigate had ever operated. If interested, Google for that particular story - it's incredible! Matthew Bellette
March 20, 201412 yr Dillion my friend, put down the Red Bulls! Holly Cow! CNN: I watched tonight to see the latest what nots. A "panel" of airline Captains put forth their views. 4 are sure, or leaned to, aircraft problems, and the left turn is most likely an attempt to reach an airport for an emergency landing. 1 was positive the thing is sitting on a runway some where, and came across as a loony... so much so that Anderson Cooper limited his questions to him. They had a prosecutor/attorney general on to speak about the flight sim angle, and thankfully, she was very level headed and totally discarded any notion the flight sim is a trainingtool for dooms day. Flight Sim and Public out cry for us all to be 'rounded up to concentration camps: One word - Kardashians. or two words - Duck Dynasty. Mr Dillions passionate words in fear of the Flight Simulation community is a refection of our own interest, and a natural reaction for something we all follow and care about. The general public on the other hand... just don't give a sh#t. There will be no banning of anything, or dumbing down of addon's, or the withdrawal of commercial manufactures of flight sim support. Calm down brothers. The 24 hour news spot light is bright, but it doesn't stay in one place for very long. There is a famous clip of a former congressmen being interrupted during an interview for "BREAKING NEWS!"... Yes.. Justin Biber was arrested! OMG! Fear not Flight Simmers, you are more then safe.
