kidsmoke Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I know we've all become numbed to events such as this one, since with trying to survive daily life sometimes having any emotion left for a tragedy that doesn't directly affect us seems like asking too much. But this one is really affecting me...maybe you too? It's breaking my heart that all these lives were lost (one assumes, anyway) in such a needless and maybe deliberate way. There were infants aboard...I feel heartsick that their lives had barely begun. There were parents who left small children behind. There were pairs of lovers. One man left his wedding ring with his wife, to give to their small son, "in case anything happened". Is anybody else having as strong and sad a reaction to this as I am? I wish the plane would at least be found, even if it means all are dead. At least the relatives would know where their loved ones are. I can't imagine how much it must hurt to be family of those missing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bleedorange Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Nice post. I've been so focused on the mystery surrounding the entire thing, which has made it easy for me to overlook the tragedy. I guess there's still a very small chance that the people on the flight are still alive, but I can't imagine what must be going through the minds of friends and family members.

ih8music Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah, honestly the mystery of what happened is overshadowing the (almost certain) human tragedy. I can't imagine having loved ones just vanish like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah, honestly the mystery of what happened is overshadowing the (almost certain) human tragedy. I can't imagine having loved ones just vanish like that.I would agree. If this were simply a plane crash there would be some resolution, but as it is there is now rampant speculation which dampens the tragedy and opens up all sorts of theories including alien abduction.

Number 11 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Flight 370 is very sad, I can't imagine not knowing really anything about your loved ones....we do all tend to live in our "own little world", but when something like this happens it's just heartbreaking.... wishing peace and good thoughts to all.

kidsmoke Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 From Courtney Love's fb page. Apparently someone has spotted this bit of ocean on the search site Tomnod. Smartasses there commented, "But what are the odds of the plane going down right next to that red arrow?" and "If Courtney Love has found the plane...!" Courtney comments: "its like a mile away Pulau Perak, where they "last" tracked it 5°39'08.5"N 98°50'38.0"E but what do I know?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Well, I certainly feel better knowing that Courtney Love is on the case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 I know, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 There was already a satellite image that they thought was the plane. Unfortunately that wasn't either. There are folks from 24 countries looking for this thing. What at the real chances that Courtney found it when experts at this sort of thing have been combing that part of the globe for days. But I suppose she could be that lucky. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Smartasses there commented "If Courtney Love has found the plane...!" You mean "smart people". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hey, she found multi-millions of dollars through orchestrating her husband's murder, I'm pretty sure she can find a plane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Radiant Witch Face Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Courtney Love is a smart woman. she uses the word "utensil" instead of "spoon" or "fork." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JUDE Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I think this thread should be about the tragedy and it's deep emotional and psychological impact on society, not Courtney Love or Tori Amos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JUDE Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I may be out of place for even commenting, but it seems the thread started off as a place to discuss real issues and feelings before it went off on another tangent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 The original poster opened the thread with stated intended purposes of the thread (sharing emotional reactions) then followed up with a post involving speculation, so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'm the original poster. I guess I know what I meant when I posted it. This is an incredibly sad story, but at the same time there's a strange and surreal quality to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Occam's razor)It comes from a credible source, so it's worth considering, but I found "You will find it along that route–looking elsewhere is pointless" to be a bit overconfident.
