OK. I’ll play
Pick your sample set and have at it.
I still can’t get over the Thai military having a radar track showing the course change within minutes, and not telling the Malaysians about it for ten days because they weren’t fucking asked for it.
I do.
Do you have a valid reason for asking using that tone?
Yes. It’s a load of BS. When one presents a load of BS, one should reasonably expect to get called on it.
Now that that’s out of the way, what’s your evidence for the BS you posted?
For your benefit, try reading Wikipedia for starters.
This is faulty logic.
When the odds of being killed in a regularly scheduled aircraft mishap are approaching those of winning the grand prize in a major lottery, then as far as safety it exceeds any mode of transport yet known. You could literally (not figuratively) fly every single day for the rest of your life and never be involved in a fatal aircraft mishap.
The same cannot be said for any other mode of transport. Even walking can be more dangerous than flying in airplane.
Please provide peer-reviewed evidence (Wikipedia is next to useless as a source of proof) that any method of transport is safer than scheduled commercial airline flight. Not a military plane , nor a civilian one, but a civilian aircraft flying a regularly scheduled route.
:rolleyes:
And the Space Shuttle is a safer mode of transportation than walking! Who knew?! You did, I bet.
Has nothing to do with anything because the general public can’t just get on.
And from your link:
I love people that don’t read their own cites
I read that. Keep the lifeline.
ya’ll are the petulant master-debators that keep me off forums.
meanwhile, back at the ranch–anything worth talking about with MH730?
hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
I see that didn’t benefit you much. Sorry. You’ll have to excuse me if fighting ignorance is just a hobby for me.
I don’t dispute that aviation is safer by fatalities per passenger-miles. Meanwhile your paying more for insurance in the US for air travel than bus or rail travel. Amusing indeed. You should get into that business, you’d make a fortune,.
You misspelled perpetuating.
Save your snide insults for the proper forum.
If I’d have known you were so sensitive after opening up with post #1100 I’d have refrained from stating the obvious.
I’m sure you have your other strong points. Like cooking a mean steak.
Or you could always go to the source to educate yourself:
- Stop the sniping.
- Get the discussion back to this missing airliner. If you want to discusses air safety open another thread.
Let me sum up. Sat pix find blobs. Planes can’t find shit, probably because they have drifted 500 miles since the pix were taken 3 days before.
Sats find more blobs. Ships can’t find shit, probably because they have drifted 500 miles in the opposite direction since the pix were taken.
More and more sats find more and more blobs. Ships and planes find less than shit, i.e., whitecaps and fishing debris.
Meanwhile, the pinger has 7 days left before silence and no one knows where to look for it.
Stay tuned…
Seems like every single week, the previous week’s info becomes completely discredited.
Just a wild theory (but not as wild as some)…the total lack of scattered debris evidence so far makes me wonder…if you were a pilot who was intent on reducing the chances of finding your suicide mission to the lowest possible value, what would you do? Is there any action you could take that would lead researchers astray for the longest possible time?
Flying in the opposite direction (south) from the expected (north) would be a start. Reducing the chances of a breakup, which would cause floating debris, might be another. You would rather the plane sank intact so there would be few clues. If no one knew where to look, the pinger would die long before anyone passed near.
How could you accomplish that? Could deliberate obscurity be created, at least for a while?
Or merely misleading. Hope springs eternal, y’know.
You’d think the ELT’s that are carried on commercial airliners would be of some use considering it’s their only function.
I’m wondering why the P-3’s and 8’s don’t drop drones when they see something in the water and then circle until they get a good look at objects.
