That is an excellent link for putting it into perspective.

For the record, even after that link and reading way too much about this shit, I am still baffled that a plane can go missing. Once it is missing, I can see how it can be nearly impossible to find. But between satellites, radar, gps, cell phones, etc etc etc etc, I have a hard time imagining how can it simply go 'poof'.

I just re-read your above posts and, with numerous other articles on the subject, I am starting to understand why it can go poof. But the concept that it can go poof is still beyond grasp, I guess. The idea that these supposedly omniscient technologies aren't so omniscient its a difficult one. Blame Hollywood or ignorance. It's still a weirdly troubling thing..
