Yeah, this was a serious story that got lost under the flooding of debate on US healthcare here, someone else posted the link for the initial story, but all that comes to mind for me too is "Bermuda Triangle" moment.
It's freaky as hell and must be torture for the relatives.
I know it's up in the Carribbean, but 'missing transport devices' over the sea have that kinda feeling and I suspect the anguish on the relatives are no less different.
Planes just don't "disappear" like that, but here we have on our hands a case of one doing so. :\

As logical as you can all be in regards to how the plane went down and most likely changes of surivial of incredibly slim (5 days and counting?)
Semi curious, if that was one of your relatives on the plane and you hear:
'Oh plane gone. Chances are that no one survived.
Body?
None. No grave or funeral for you.
Visual proof of crash?
None. (hopefully "yet")
- Just accept this likable and logical fact and move on please.

There's a part inside for many people that'll never rest.
Brain may say 'yes', most likely, we'll never see them again' but inside, there's always the 'what if'?
Since humans have proven time and time again to survive all odds, while there's lack on infomation and just mass areas of grey, one can never truly rest and move on it feels like, must be a horrible way to live.

While the last radio contact was sometime before Flight 447 dropped from radar, there were some automated signals reporting systematic failures for quite a while after that. The exact cause of what happened is still a mystery, and will probably remain so until the flight data recorder is recovered, but there's no mystery surrounding the crash itself.

France has dispatched a boat with a mini-submarine, the Nautile, aboard. This can operate at a depth of 6,000m, but it was not expected to reach the zone until early next week.
Yeah they're still on it, but it's a race against time, since these black boxes stop emitting signals after 30 days or something, so plently of , doesn't really help anyone to cope with the surreal yet unfortunate reality with it all.
And as Vexx updated the trails of debris were a false alarm, so basically, they're back on square 1 huh.
And yeesh, not a lot of positive notes on water landings huh, lol.
Wonder if this'll shove more people into the fear box in terms of international flights and not getting on a plane.
At least for a lot of Brazillians (who lost all 199 people in an aircrash 2 years ago) - this is a very very bitter and painful reminder to have to once deal with.

Thanks for the pics tho Tran, iirc they're from the BBC's articles which keep on getting updated with various stats and maps.
I mentioned bermuda triangle for it being seemingly spooky as those stories are in terms of sudden disappearance over sea, but yeah, sorry for confuzzling anyone on that note.
Location is up north somewhat and besides the media would have milked that theory before we ever did if it did disappear over the triangle itself.
(AFAIK, no one has offically tried to...) >.>
