So every time the tower loses contact with a plane the media should report it as a plane crash?

Semantic derails are the worst.

dis·ap·pear
[dis-uh-peer]
verb (used without object)
1.to cease to be seen; vanish from sight.
2.to cease to exist or be known; pass away; end gradually: One by one the symptoms disappeared.
3.(of a person) to vanish under suspicious circumstances: The dictator's outspoken opponent disappeared that evening, shortly after midnight.

By the first definition, that is exactly what happened to the plane. You are saying to disappear means to dematerialize. It doesn't mean that to most people using the term in most instances.

Disappear does not mean "cease to exist". It means you can't see something; things disappear all the time.

Edit: slow pony

This. Stop tarding up this thread.

just watched this about the kid in the cockpit, absolutley insane

"Disappear" derail is making me miss the "plane crash death vs Alzheimer's death" derail.

"

It took me about 30 seconds to pass out. But I didn't spend that 30 seconds trying to find some oxygen to breath--I felt fine. When you hold your breath for 30 seconds, you become incredibly uncomfortable and you fight for air; when you're breathing a gas that has been stripped of oxygen (like the helium in a balloon or the air at cruising altitude), you don't feel that discomfort, you don't know that there's anything wrong.

I felt fine for 29 seconds, got a little woozy suddenly, and before I could say "WTF?", I was out.



Just ask Payne Stewart: the plane doesn't begin a sudden descent as soon as you pass out. If the auto-pilot is engaged, it's just going to keep on cruising through the oxygen-stripped air, possibly for hours. You're not going to survive it.

"Asked to clarify the appearance of passengers on stolen passports, Rahman bizarrely suggested they looked like the black Italian footballer Mario Balotelli."

so was it like TWA 800 perhaps?

you think the US Navy shot it down?

no, obviously terrorists. who were encouraged by the usa govt

YTF, did you ever watch the PBS documentary "The Suicide Plan"? Helium is the best way because it's just like breathing oxygen and then it's over.

Sorry for the derail, but had to mention that because I found it incredibly interesting. Keep you kids away at b-day parties everyone.

not sure if serious

I'm not going to weigh in on how "ants" think, but I found this interesting.

Edit - You want a conspiracy? After I posted the original link to pictures of the crash they were gone! (I won't use the "d" word, lol.) This is a different article (with the same picture of what could be a door), but this one could could also "v word" at any minute. Very strange indeed...

I think there was a screw up with the communication satellites and for some reason the plane plummeted into the ocean in tact and is now on the bottom of the sea floor.

Or into traveled into another dimension by freak accident.

Shining and Misery were very good.

yeah, the discomfort from holding your breath comes from carbon dioxide build up, exhaling gets rid of that, so thats why breathing non oxygenated gas doesnt give you that feeling of "I need air!!!"

Wow what a dumb post.

Shawshank Redemption, Carrie, It, Stand by Me, Green Mile, Pet Semetary

Children of the Corn, Firestarter, Salem's Lot... those are the ones I've seen and I thought they were all good to great. Can't speak for the rest, except The Langoliers was about the worst made movie I've ever seen.

239 on board? That's a shame. I mean he talks crap but I wouldn't have wished this on him.

Hmmm.

why's it so much easier for people to want "evil" (terrorism) to be the culprit instead of mechanical/pilot error problems, like the vast majority of incidents

@JH
I dont know if Im on the up and up but I guess because they said it disappeared in a way which would be caused by a quick/overwhelming/explosive situation, other than complete desintegration of the airplane, an attack sounds most likely in that instance.
