RE: Secrets in the Sky - missing planes and forgotten crashes

in GEMS2 months ago

I don't have any theories about missing planes. Except for the obvious logic that the Earth is a big place. And I know how difficult it is to find lost things around the house. So it's not surprising to me that planes can be lost.

But my immediate thoughts about your post don't actually refer to flying. Because you reminded me of a story from my sister last month.

She is planning to take her grandchildren on their first cruise. But independently, 2 of them immediately voiced their fears, having watched The Titanic. So she asked why did everyone remember The Titanic?

Because there was only one of them!

OK, not strictly true in the history of maritime disasters. But it was enough to put their minds at rest.

You're right…cruises can be scary, and as you mentioned, the Titanic has left a lasting fear of such travel. That tragedy happened in 1912, but I think after watching the movie, many of us felt a bit scared about traveling by ship! However, once the kids are on the cruise, they'll probably forget those fears and just enjoy the journey. ☺️ Ah, the sea and the waves all around you... I really want to go on a cruise! 😂
I feel the same way about not speculating on what happened to certain planes, but people come up with so many conspiracy theories about the missing Malaysia flight…everything from the pilot's suicide to a terrorist attack. In the end, it’s likely just a mechanical issue. But if people lack answers, they will believe in all sorts of stories. Interestingly, even when some people are given explanations, they still refuse to believe them and continue to push their conspiracy theories.
And like you mentioned, if it's challenging to find items in our own apartments, how could anyone possibly locate a plane that crashed in the middle of the ocean? 🤔
