http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/11/us-malaysiaairlines-flight-idUSBREA2701720140311 Remember in 2002 when that A-10 crashed, but before it was found, there was speculation it may be used for an attack on the Olympics?

You just can't see them because their fetching blue hardhats blend in so well with the cerulean sea.

I bet the peeps at the NSA long for the days they were known as the 'no such agency.'

Yeah, the new urbanism isn't doing to well around here. Too cold in the winter and too hot and humid in the summer to walk around. The one they started locally is putting a lot of land up for sale. http://www.thestate.com/2013/12/05/3141757/100-acres-at-village-at-sandhill.html Additionally...

It is because our media flat out sucks, especially when it comes to reporting foreign news. Granted, they are no great shakes at domestic stuff either, but for foreign news, best look to their news sources. That is a combination of media corporation cost cutting and the failure of j-school to...

Thugs have taken over the malls, locally. Combine that with online shopping, and why would you go?

I'm not sure the 777 can make to bottom watertight like the Airbus could. It'd be hard to keep the fuselage intact with water jetting in at 100+ mph. There'd still be a slick from fuel leaks, even if it did manage to somehow sink without leaving debris.

I almost wonder if someone did a test shot on a focused EMP device. 777 is all electric, isn't it? Still wouldn't explain the lack of debris, though. THAT'S what throws me.

I've noticed this locoally, and somewhat nationally, but lately I've been noticing that the government is being very straightforwrd about doing things solely to generate revenue. Locally, it is things like attracting businesses over housing because 'the tax generated is higher per acre' or...

This. Even in the bad old days of the cold war, the American's and Soviets offered assistance to one another in maritime emergencies (it was usually declined, but still).
