Default Steve Fossett

yeah he's certainly not evading but the big question is "why didn't his elt
go off ?"
what scenarios fit this ... he experienced a health problem and got the
plane down ?
doesn't seem like an experienced pilot like him would forget to set it off
by hand after a forced landing ....
Do they sometimes fail to go off on impact ?

Newps,

That's a bad analogy, we're not looking for one airplane in a sea of
other planes. Remove all the planes in the picture except one. Now try
and find the one plane.


Hey, "we" can't even find Osama when "we" have 6 years to try (in a
similar landscape, I might add).


True, but I don't think Fossett is trying to not be found. :-)
