Brick Tamland Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 It's hard to believe that a plane can just go missing in 2014. I know people will come back with all kinds of tech reasons about the transponders and ACARS were disabled, etc...but in 2014, there ought to be technology available and required on every aircraft that would send out a continuous signal that would surive a crash or explosion or water landing or sinking or whatever and could not be disabled locally at the aircraft. You'd think a commercial plane would be equipt with GPS tracking that couldn't be turned off from the plane. But I think they can't find it because it didn't crash. Someone landed the plane somewhere for some group, and they are using the passengers as hostages for leverage later when they use the plane for something bad.

That is a possibility....but you'd need a big airport to pull that off, probably. It seems like somebody would have checked all of the airports in range of where it could have landed. But maybe I'm being too simplistic. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to believe the global models can't get storms right three days out in 2014, but it happens!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 What's your favorite restaurant at Myrtle Beach? For seafood, I think the Chesapeake House is about as good as it gets. Carolina Roadhouse is also very good, if you're looking for steak. The Spring House is good for breakfast. Actually, I guess if it has the word "house" in the name, it's probably pretty good.
