4 days have passed - no news from satellites, sophisticated radars or anything.
Planes are fitted with more sophisticated tracking systems - aside from the 2 black boxes.
On land, vehicles can be tracked. I am assuming, the aviation industry WOULD have the same for an aircraft which costs millions.
Yet, nothing has popped to-date.
Yes, I agree, we should not speculate. Yet, I doubt people can just read this as any other piece of announcement for cheaper electronic products because souls are missing. Souls with names.
The longer it takes to get some signal, the more questions will be raised on just how efficient our state-of-the-art technology really is.
As with anything else that happens daily, no one will bother to question anything, until disaster strikes.
Does that mean we are reactive rather than proactive?
Looks like it.
This brings to mind how the human race has totally gone into the inverse mode in our thinking and behavior to that of the progress in technology. Instead of focusing on the matter at hand, humans tend to have a need to blame someone or something OR better still, be 'creative' and come up with solutions which should have come up BEFORE any incidents. Its so easy to share our solutions RETROSPECTIVELY. Any person with half a brain can do that !
AND so, organisations continue hiring people who may seem to be towing the corporate line or safe people (people who will never say anything out of line even if the truth hurts) whilst the THINKING people go about their daily lives in jobs NOT in the spotlight.
I have met so many people who deserve a better job position but never will get it, because of some red tape somewhere.
Had this plane stayed on course and landed as scheduled, there will be no posts/tweets about immigration clearing 2 people using stolen passports OR that families were not informed earlier because the plane had enough fuel for another 5/6 hours.
What happened to ALL THE MOBILE PHONES that each and every adult passenger has? They also stopped working because of the 'might be total electrical failure'?
Bottom line is : don't blame the Malaysian Government - ask yourself why your family member DID not use their phone to call or text either? Governments do not and cannot announce unverified reports.
As easy as it may be to issue blame from coast to coast, I ask : did every single passenger/crew not pay their mobile bill to have it all disconnect at the same time too? Even if the plane was in an irrecoverable dive, phones can be switched on and there are those who never even turn them off ! In the case of a hijacking, there is definitely time to send a short text like SOS.
Every search rescue volunteer/staff IS OUT THERE - doing their best to find something, anything. Every Government personnel is also rallying their various departments trying to piece together the dribs and drabs they have collected from radar etc...
Too late for the blame game because everyone is equally baffled by the disinterest of all on that ill-fated plane to communicate.
All we can do now is pray for the search n rescue to find something.
That is the bottom line.
