Where are you looking? What website? Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I've used that site for a long time and never had any trouble.

Not sure. They did send their findings within two weeks of compiling them. At that point there was still two weeks of battery time left on the black box signal life. Even if nothing turns up, I'm glad at least the bay is being searched. If one of my family members was on that plane, I would take any small grain of hope....even tho I still feel the plane is on land, not in water.

In what country do you think the plane is located? Intact or crashed in a jungle?
Why hasn't the world offered $1 million reward and immigration visas to the country of their choice for themselves and their family, for information. Surely if the plane landed some person saw it or knows about where the passengers were taken.

I don't know where (no big surprise there), but my gut says intact. I have already been chided for not being a critical thinker based on my belief that it is NOT in water. (That assertion will cause me no loss of sleep, lol). Obviously, if I am all for a search in the Bay of Bengal, then I still believe there is a chance it COULD be in water --- I simply feel there is a greater chance it isn't.

Not sure of your question about reward $ & immigration visas - just because I think it's intact does not mean I think or believe it is somewhere in plain sight. We have been given erroneous information from the start...whether intentionally or by mistake. All the "experts" who are so sure it is in the Indian Ocean are basing that on info gleaned from several top respected sources. EXCEPT even those sources are now being called into question.

I wonder what is the real reason, rooted deep in most scientists, to dismiss a possibility that only has a " .00001 % " chance of occurance? That chance is still there, even if highly unlikely. Ask any powerball winner if they would play with a zero chance of winning - they will keep the 2 bucks. But tell them there is a one in a gazillion chance of winning? Even with such incredible odds, they will buy the ticket....because IT IS POSSIBLE. Two different thought processes - that is all.

As for why I personally feel the plane is on land...maybe I am hardened by the last 20+ years of terrorist activity that just keeps raising the bar. Even the worst groups out there are saying the brutality occurring in Syria goes too far for even them to condone. Nothing surprises me anymore.

I also think technology has surpassed expectations by leaps and bounds - even the best, smartest scientist isn't right all the time.

Lastly, human error is overlooked or excused - debunkers point that out constantly. Yet they don't seem to apply that to the human error of trust when it is not warrented. That whole "fool me once" expression comes to mind.

For those of you that doubt it could have been an alien abduction, I suggest you read what is posted in the link below.
Anything is possible, and the lack of physical evidence of the aircraft would seem to favor the fact that the aircraft never touched this planet once it became airborne.

Ummmm.... The Tehran Incident is HARDLY an open and shut case of a UFO encounter. There are a lot of very shaky details and not a lot of corroborating evidence. You can't just say, "Pilot saw a light in the sky, and had electrical problems therefore aliens." I mean, I guess you can, because that's basically what you're doing but it's not really applying much critical thought at all and does not lend much credence to the alien theory at all. Second, I'm curious to know if when they find this aircraft at the bottom of the ocean, if you'll be willing to admit the alien theory wrong? Or is everything unexplainable an alien encounter until proven otherwise?
