I can certainly understand your response here. If you ever find it possible I'd actually like to hear more about the whole incident. Where, when, what airline, destination, etc. . . Send it to me via private media and perhaps I can do a little research later this year on it. (I may have some time on my hands to do so).

You know with today's technology the discovery of old wrecks (Air, land, sea)  are becoming commonplace. Look at what happened when they started searching for Fossett and all the old wrecks that they found!

Did that happen over sea???
Thanks PH.  I'll have to refresh my mind on some of the details since I was only 11yrs old or so at the time I can only remember at this point it was a commercial airliner and had military as well as private citizens aboard and it just disappeared with no trace.

Are the parents still living? This potentially could make an interesting piece of journalism in the right hands. . . with some background and investigation.

I know CNN has shown an interest in "cold cases" and historic incidents / mysteries in the past. . . You might consider running it past them at some point. . .

Yes, I'd like to hear more about it as well considering that I can find only 28 accidents in the history of aviation that resulted in 200 or more fatalities (passengers and crew), none of which happened before 1974.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Yea, after I made my posting I saw where they had traveled out of range of the Brazilian radar. . . The fuggen media made it sound as if they had just disappeared. . . and some still are!  :rolleyes:

what do you suppose the odds of this being an act of terror?  :confused:

Well, I'll admit to suspecting it may be an act of terror right out of the box. When the initial reports said they "disappeared" from radar without word, it came to mind. Considering there are very few situations aboard a commercial airliner that would cause it to do so, it did seem possible at first. . . to me.

And Locutus, I trust no one. . .  :biggrin:

I'm getting even more interested as I can't seem to find any aircraft during that time period that would carry anywhere near that number of passengers.

That is not what China Confidential is claiming.....(btw....this is a highly classified source... ;D )

Investigators are not ruling out terrorism in the disappearance of Air France Flight 447, presumed to have crashed into the Atlantic Ocean with 228 people on board.

A terrorist bomb is unfortunately a more likely explanation than a lightning strike, even though the plane ran into lightning and strong thunderstorms over the Atlantic Ocean.

Lightning strikes of aircraft are rare; and jetliners have systems that dissipate electricity in the event of lightning strikes.

I do believe, that this has got to be a possibility........it IS going to happen again....

So when they figure it out and it turns out to be something other than a terrorist attack and I say, "I told you so," you'll be prepared to eat the appropriate crow; right?   :biggrin:

I'm just saying it is POSSIBLE!!....may be 100,000 to 1.......but STILL possible... ;) :yes:

if in the event, that it IS a terrorist related incident..........the question will be, are YOU prepared to eat crow?... :razz: :yes:

Both parents are deceased now but I'm hoping mom can remember enough to get me on the right track anyway.

I may be off on the number of passengers but I know he was headed back to base overseas after a two week leave and there were other military as well as civilian passengers on board.  I know both my dad who had a background in navigation from his years in the Air Force and my uncle did nothing but go over maps for weeks trying to figure out where it might have gone down going from reports where it was last heard from.  Not that they knew anymore than the military and or the others that were looking but it gave them something to do and helped them cope somewhat.
