I tried the theory at a Maize Maze near Weymouth and out of a party of five, I was second to arrive at the centre.

Re: Vanishing plane
I wasn't rapping your knuckles. It was just an observation.

I'll give it a go,
What a really sad person you are, sitting safe and sound at your keyboard making up silly theories and speculating about a situation that has probably caused the deaths of other people.
I don't suppose you will feel any sense of guilt for acting in this way, after all it's only a bit of 'fun', it's not as if you are doing anything wrong is it?
What a real waste of space you and people like you are.
Is there anyone else that agrees the thread starter should shut up until we know what has really happened?

Re: Vanishing plane
I'm with you, Less. Of course we are all entitled to our own thoughts about this awful mystery but it seems to me that gossipy speculation is what this thread started out as.
It must be absolutely dreadful for the people waiting for news of their loved ones, and all the talk about what might or might not have happened doesn't make it any easier for them.
Let's just hope that the mystery is solved quickly with the best outcome possible which is that all are safe.

Re: Vanishing plane
It's day 4 now, still Nothing,how long do you want to wait to discuss this topic?
What's "wrong" with taking a look at the mystery plane story dominating the headlines?
The (heavy) speculation in the abscence of any evidence is all we can do.
There are so many questions unanswered.
Why the u-turn? Why fly low? Why are the transponders off?
Is it possible for a large airplane to dive into the water without breaking up and go down like a rock, no debris, no trace ,no distress call? I think not.
Anyone fancy watching a movie at mine?
It's called flightplan

Discussion is one thing, turning it into a conspiracy theory with no respect for the victims, just shows how sick you are.
AccyWeb is not for conspiracies there are plenty of sites out there for such trash.

That has been my take on this subject from day one.
For the families this is a tragedy, made much worse by the uncertainty.
As for positive outcomes - I think that is very unlikely with each hour that passes.

Re: Vanishing plane
To anyone directly or indirectly effected by this tragedy,I appologse if any of my comments have offended you or have caused you (unintentional) distress.
It was wrong for me to cultivate rumours and fears which are totally unfounded.
I hope they are found soon,although the longer time goes on, I very much doubt a good outcome.
I'll leave this thread alone now

If I were personally involved, if I had lost a friend or loved one on that plane, I sure wouldn't want some shallow talking head like Barbara Bathos or Frankly Unctuous turning my grief into a clown act in the global media circus. Other than being curious about what happened, this tragedy affects me not at all.

Vanishing plane
As usual Eric is a voice of reason, let's try to make sure when discussing such events we work with the facts we have rather than the speculation our imaginations can invent.
That will keep the site and it's members from giving in to cruel gossip no matter what the subject is.

Re: Vanishing plane
Well, Eric....for you it has no effect on your life.
For those who have lost family I am sure their perspective will be different.
I do get where you are coming from when you say that this word means nothing.
That is because it has been hijacked by those who want to sensationalise events - not just this one, but others that the media wring every bit of juice out of by overplaying it.....wall to wall coverage is the norm these days.
