Vortices are not caused by opposing currents, but by swift currents passing a small land mass, possibly sub surface.

After they do a trash survey of the entire Indian Ocean we will probably get a few documentaries about how plastic grocery bags in Texas are destroying the planet.

Perhaps it is the global warming research vessel that was trapped in the ice (December/January). The crew has figured out that we have forgotten all about them.

What makes you think this distress call is even about the plane. The second sentence:

“The emergency beacon came from a fishing vessel and the nature of the distress
call is unknown.”

Also, what’s a fishing vessel doing in the middle of the Indian Ocean?

Yeah I should have read it the whole way through..I just thought that maybe some would connect a distress signal with that ELT thing that happens when a plane crashes which no one has heard

I was actually thinking of all that Antarctic enviroMental stuff considering this. I don’t know what the outcome was with all those people.

They will never try the airplane crap again. They caught us with our pants down on that one even though that threat was mentioned in the past. Look at all the money we spent on inefficient airport security.

The next attack will be something totally different that we are not prepared for. the so called “terrorist’ planners are not dummies.

It is not the first time that an aerospace vehicle has vanished.

Why not? Low info types call 911 because McDonalds is out of McNuggets.

I hope so too.

If, it was a botched hijacking then the sponsors would keep it quiet and not tip us off that they can still hijack an airplane. They would want to try again. The airport or whoever ran security would not want the public to know that their security is lacking.

If it was a rogue pilot then the airlines would not want that info made public. Lots of cash to lose there too.

If it was a mechanical problem then the manufacturer would not want that info made public either.

I think that the stolen and hidden jet would be the most likely answer we are given. The jet, hijackers and passengers would never be found.

Dead men tell no tales.

I don’t understand. Why would a stolen plane be most likely if you think another plane attack would never be undertaken?

BTW, I have long thought airplanes would not be used again. They are not that dumb. Well, at least not in the US or thereabouts. They weren’t dumb with the 9/11 targets - things that might disrupt our whole society, not just “symbols” as people so foolishly repeat over and over again.

A “stolen” plane would be the least expensive explanation for all concerned parties.

Any other conclusion would require a lot of questions to answer and a ton of lawsuits.
