If you are an empiricist, then you should be sitting there saying that, right now, we have no idea where the plane is because we have no FACTS to go on, other than it has disappeared.
I believe i am, end of contact, fireball observed, boom by witnesses.
Those are the only facts so far that Malaysia has announced.
Everything else is media hype, you guys have invested so much time in wild theories from everything to anoxic crew to alien abduction. Its ridiculous and sad. I feel sorry for the families who are being given false hope by this sorry episode of schoolboy tomfoolery.
How about we trust that the Malaysians are competent adults who know what they are doing.
