This, if they are using drones and found anything I would think they would secretly tell one of the conventional SAR teams to conveniently stumble across it.

^I have to admit, if the above facepalm pic was a Rorschach test, I'm definitely getting tagged as a sexual deviant.

The only thing I saw for a solid 5 mins was a dink and what appears to be relatively big balls.

i do feel for them, having hope is the worst thing in times like this, as in reality, we all knew it was gone... the roller coaster ride these poor people went through, my heart goes out to them

Definitely feel for the parents of a 29 year old guy who was on this flight. I met him a barbecue last summer. When their only child is taken away from them in this missing airplane, I cannot imagine how heart wrenching an experience his parents are having right now.

We need closure ASAP.

I think the term "closure" is just being used loosely here.

It's one thing to accept that your loved one is gone, but I think what they really meant is: it would be nice to be able to know how they went, rather than a.... "i have no clue what happened to my (son/daughter/mom/dad/etc).

It's one thing to be right by stating the obvious; but it's another to be able to handle it with class.

but they do have a clue.

it's not like they up and vanished from bed.

they were on a plane... it is plane related. any of those conspiracies, any theories of crashes. pick and choose the story. it doesn't matter... they're in a plane related death. they exist no more and their bodies have started their journey back to the earth from which it came.

i don't think it really matters.

it's like if a small boat vanished in the high seas after a big thunder storm. it PROBABLY capsized, and they are most likely dead. but you'll never find the bodies. and you'll never truly know. but you don't need to. you know they're dead. once you accept that fact it's all the same. the next step is to choose how fast you want to get over it. those people that want their weird version of closure are just grasping on to any element of their loved ones they can. if they had found solid evidence of a crash from the beginning, they still wouldn't feel any better.

it's just an excuse to keep wallowing in sadness for the sake of not letting go of something they are too attached to. even if it is a loved one.

demanding the government and public that they want closure is just absurd. that's something they should have to deal with themselves. this isn't the last person they'll know that will die from unwanted reasons.

they can mourn, they can feel sad. but i don't condone the action of demanding others to seek their closure for them. closure is completely up to the self. the external world should have no bearing on it.

standby time is rated at 250 hours. thats 10 days. if he shut it off, or airplane mode it, it would last much longer.

either way, it is a possibility. especially if someone did hide their phone.

all i'd say is that i'd just want to know. that would be closure to me.

we all know they're dead. Wouldn't you at least want to put it to bed by knowing, definitely, what happened? I wouldn't be at 'rest' until I knew

I'd wanna know, but then i'd already know. i'd know the plane is gone and whoever was related to me was gone too. and that's enough.

at a different scale. it's like if your friend got in a gruesome car crash. his body and face are completely mangled. but all you know is "fatal car crash"... wouldn't you wanna now EXACTLY what happened? was his skull crushed? did he bleed to death? was he knocked out RIGHT away? you can always get more detailed.

some people ... most people would be good just knowing he's dead. but would u really wanna see his body? see his face? hear the corners report in full? watch the corner perform? i mean those are "knowing for sure".

it's the same... they say the plane crashed. they drowned. do you really need to know the exact details? lost at sea is pretty decent to me. lost at sea or find a bloated body. i duno man. details aren't necessary.

^ your example is all wrong. You don't want to know the exact details of the death, but families want to know the circumstances leading to the death. "Died in a car crash" vs "died in a car crash after losing control due to black ice and sliding down a steep embankment" is like "the plane crashed" vs "the plane had a mechanical failure with the xxx system which lead to it crashing into the sea." The families want to know what lead to their loved ones being taken from them.

Except at this point, we still don't have any solid evidence of what happened to that plane or even that the passengers and crew are dead. We can be pretty sure it crashed, but grieving family members will be holding onto every last bit of hope that their loved ones could still be alive somehow.
