re: #28 The War TARDIS

So, why does a plane fall out of the sky without a single distress call?

I am reminded of the first time I picked up a copy of Ernest K. Gann’s book “Fate Is The Hunter” from 1961. He flew during some of the hardest times of aviation and the first (IIRC) eight pages of the book are rows of initials of pilots and their airlines. “Wings forever folded”, I believe. All pilots who died during the time he was a pilot like them.

We like to pretend life is safe. It’s not. I could die tonight without waking.

But those who have family and friends on flight MH370 will not be comforted by my musings here. May their deity smile upon them and theirs through this difficult night.
