So Courtney Love is wrong...hmmm. (sarc) Thanks.
Where do you think this plane is?
That island is Northwest Malaysia; if they were on approach in a burning plane, they probably crashed somewhere in the northern Malacca Straits.
They just haven’t found the crash site yet. But eventually, I think they will.
Mr. Goodfellow’s hypothesis makes the most sense, and remember what happened to South African Airways Flight 295, which suffered an aboard fire believed to have ultimately caused the plane to break up after the fire burned through the hull.
Now, to be fair, they found that one pretty quick - within 12 hours.
So there’s a mystery here, but my instinct tells me it crashed at sea and it’s just a matter of finding it.
