Flight Into Oblivion

A catastrophe obviously claimed Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. After so many days elapsing in our satellite-monitored world, it is amazing no trace of the jet has been found. I thought that an Amelia Earhart-Fred Noonan type of disappearance could never happen in this technologically advanced, wired world. With ships from many nations searching, with ground penetrating radar being used to search, one would think a commercial jet much larger than Amelia Earhart's aircraft would readily have been discovered, but no one has even recovered a piece of debris. There are huge swathes of flotsam and jetsam befouling world waters, which could be confused from a distance with plane wreckage, and in fact, pieces of floating debris have been confused for Flight 370 remnants already. With so many searching, let us hope that the plane and the answers to what befell it are discovered soon.
