Default Missing plane - EgyptAir MS804
Sadly it looks like there has been another plane go 'missing' with 66 lives on board including 3 children.

Contact was lost 37,000 feet in the air over the Mediterranean Sea, about 2am local time. The flight was from Paris to Cairo.

No Australians on board, but extremely sad none the less.

Why?. Not really going to make a difference is it?. Start thinking like that and you'll never travel again. This stuff happends now and again unfortunately. You park your car in the garage and walk too?

You never get today back, i've been in some sketchy situations in my life overseas and i don't regret a single one. None of them have been involved on a plane, that's just a vehicle to get me to the fun places.

You've got more chance of dying in a car accident. Get out there and enjoy what the world has to offer, you won't regret it and if you die on a plane you will never know any different anyway.

Nah man!

You are seated, TV in front of you with all the entertainment you need 'on demand'. Served drinks almost any time you want at the push of a button buy generally attractive looking ladies.

Then the food comes along, no need to leave you seat to do the dishes. Then, to boot they give you several free items to take home like pillows, blankets, newspaper, magazines etc.

What's not to like???

Not quite 800kmh, but enough to have the same impact. I notice the gory personal account details aren't included in the wiki page.

Yeh nah, crap food, I can get my own drinks, TV sucks, and stuffed in like a sardines in the old can.
Sitting in one spot for more than 2h in a big thing that drops from the sky on a regular basis ain't my cup of tea.

I've been OS plenty, that's how I know I don't like plane travel.

Yeh I'd like to see a few more countries, however I'm also very happy traveling OZ my way, taking my little house with me, plus my dogs...

First I heard, I thought it was either a catastrophic failure or a terrorist attack as the only two possibilities and it seems most experts seem to be of the same opinion.

It is strange though that no group has claimed it in a day or so.

A nose dive under full power, the plane will hit the ground much faster than 800 kmh, they can break the sound-barrier.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacifi...es_Flight_1771

I'm sure everyone would have passed-out long before the impact.
