- jphicks, on 02/05/2008, -0/+55Oh, I don't smell a rat. If you have ever seen that country you would understand. He could have dropped to the ground and never be found. Yes, it is entirely possible.
- inactive, on 02/05/2008, -1/+52They never found those other *****'s planes till just now. He'll (his remains) turn up sooner or later, probably when they are looking for some other pilot.
- TheSwashbuckler, on 02/05/2008, -0/+38"Is there a cover up after all a beer can be photographed from space yet 'they' can't find his plane wreck."
There are supposedly spy satellites that can read a license plate, but you have to know where to look to read that license plate. - inactive, on 02/05/2008, -4/+35"after all a beer can be photographed from space yet 'they' can't find his plane wreck."
Was this highly visable beer can nosedived into the ground at a great speed? what a ***** stupid analogy. Buried. - theragu40, on 02/05/2008, -0/+30"The wreckage may have impacted on a slope and rolled into a hole between boulders. If there's enough scrub, someone would have to be literally walking over the ground to find it."
Enough said. Agreed completely. - lpmiller, on 02/05/2008, -3/+29clearly, the same people that did 9/11 decided to take out this pilot, in an attempt to stop Ron Paul from speaking at debates to tell us all who really killed Kennedy.
- INDOAZZ, on 02/05/2008, -0/+21That man is in Atlantis
- LokitheComplex, on 02/05/2008, -0/+18Has the Daily Mail taken over Digg?
- Dalatejc, on 02/05/2008, -0/+16Aye they can photograph a beer can from outer-space but they have to find it first ;)
- lordwow, on 02/05/2008, -0/+11No.
- mike2312, on 02/05/2008, -1/+12Yes it is a cover-up. So was the 9/11 crash into the Pentagon. Don't forget the landing on the moon. Not to mention how every time I wash my socks one disappears as well. All perpetrated by the same secret society.
- falstaff, on 02/05/2008, -1/+12This is what I love most about Digg. People here don't even need to come up with an off-the-wall motive any more; any chance to come up with a new conspiracy can't be held back by such minor details.
- blakeage, on 02/05/2008, -0/+10Must have taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque...
- pateo, on 02/05/2008, -1/+10That is is bizarre.. six other wreckages? Anything is possible, though.
Also.. you can photograph a beer from space? I must have missed something. - rickrwh, on 02/05/2008, -1/+9that's your feet.
- datastorageguy, on 02/05/2008, -5/+12Here we go. Tthe dateless, living in their mother's basement crowd, are going to have a field day with this one.
- edebolt, on 02/05/2008, -0/+7It was big news in Northern Nevada.. They searched for a long time with Civil Air Patrol and many others. In the process they found a number of older wrecks. The thing about Nevada is that its very barren and vast. A plane can crash into the bleached light color terrain and be very difficult to find. The proverbial needle in a haystack. Hopefully they will find the wreck but it might just be a hole in the ground.
- jerrycan, on 02/05/2008, -0/+7Nope, he is on the "Lost" Island
- norman619, on 02/05/2008, -0/+6Logic and reason have abandoned you haven't they?
- KevenM, on 02/05/2008, -3/+8awww c'mon. How are we supposed to jump on a conspiracy theory when people like you insert silly things like logic and common sense?
- londubh, on 02/05/2008, -0/+5Amelia Earhart kidnapped him!
- raynar, on 02/05/2008, -1/+6they have satellites that are looking at about a -70 degree or so angle? As far as I know, no satellite can look straight down at a car and read its license plate. Only in the movies...the same movies that have everyones DNA in a database, and makes "clickity click" sounds when searching.
- rickrwh, on 02/05/2008, -0/+4Move along, nothing to see here.....
- jimbruno, on 02/05/2008, -1/+5Krusty the Clown did it better.
Maybe they'll find him working off a barge in Boston Harbor. - waronflesh, on 02/05/2008, -2/+6"a beer can be photographed from space yet 'they' can't find his plane wreck."
the submitter has no idea how satellites work. Imagine that you can read a beer can from space. Think about how narrow your field of view is. You can only look at a small area at a time. Plus you'd have to assign a person to look at every inch of the millions of pictures.
Plus, our spy satellites can't image the US without pages and pages of approval from dozens of people. They aren't going to do that for a missing persons case. - Archon810, on 02/05/2008, -0/+4worst description.
- inactive, on 02/05/2008, -1/+5They can find a beer can from space... IF THEY ALREADY KNOW WHERE THE BEER CAN IS. What is it with these ass-clowns that think everything is a conspiricy? Is it because game shows have gotten too easy so knowing the answers doesnt impress your friends at the pub anymore so now you need to invent imaginary questions that only YOU are smart enough to understand? Conspiricy theorists have the most annoying type of vanity, stupid people vain about how smart they think they are.
- thelastcivilian, on 02/05/2008, -0/+4something tells me it's someone who belonged to Skull and Bones while at Yale...
- HanSolo69, on 02/05/2008, -0/+4***** the Daily Mail. It's just a tabloid. If they want Fossett to be found then go crash a plane in the area and while they're searching for you they'll find him.
- odganarb, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3I'd have to say Galt's Gulch... but then again that is what Rapture is based on, so who knows?
- raynar, on 02/05/2008, -0/+380% of all statistics are made up.
- cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -1/+4It's the dailymail, can't expect much more from them.
- MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -1/+4Will Smith showed us that they can read your newspaper from space. It must be true. (Actually I think it really is).
Furthermore, I was savin' dat bacon! - diggstown, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3He's hanging out there with Amelia Earhart.
- Gabberwok, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3They did. They even recruited the unwashed masses of the internet using Amazon's Mechanical Turk to scour over satellite images to search for the wreckage. At a certain point, you have to just accept the inevitable and it doesn't matter how much money you throw at a problem. The take home message here is that just because you have enough money to go on crazy record breaking trips doesn't mean you should.
- inactive, on 02/05/2008, -2/+5how can anyone take anything written in that urine-soaked, gossip rag, 'dailymail' seriously?
so many pics in their 'articles' to hold the feeble attention spans of the barely literate, lower-classes of britain.
nothing to see here, move along... - MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -0/+3Steve Foessett and Richard Branson were building Rapture but something went wrong and Fossett is trapped in a watery grave... on Mars.
- Kelmon, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2In answer to your question: probably
- KillTheRhythm, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2You suck.
- mrogi, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2Fossett was abducted by space aliens. Art Bell has documented evidence to prove it.
- melies, on 02/07/2008, -0/+2he is supervising rapture
- gameforge, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2"...how is the ability to read a number plate from space useful?"
Did you actually think about this question before you asked it? You honestly can't figure out a single use for a camera this powerful?
(Hint: they didn't concoct this ability to read license plates - that's just an example of what it can do.) - RockMuncher, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2Just as an example of how remote some of these areas are, a few years ago an elderly man around here was walking one of the local parks pathways, like he did most mornings, when he had a massive stroke, fell off the path and died. He was roughly 2 feet away from the path, and it took 8 months to find him.
It's not impossible to lose a plane in that kind of terrain.. it's actually common, as is evidenced by all the planes they found. - gkiltz, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2No Conspiracy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The US, and especially the West, is full of remote, sparsely populated areas, many of them mountainous!
Radar uses Microwave frequencies, the signals are NOT going to bend over or around mountains! As a result, much of the area in which he disappeared is filled with gaps in radar coverage, especially at the altitudes that private planes normally fly.Radio coverage gaps are not as rare as TSA would have you believe. Distances are long, terrain is extraordinarily difficult, and weather is extreme, and highly variable with elevation! Planes that crash in areas like that are often not found, or found by chance years or even decades later. Every few years you hear about hunters, hikers, or campers in such remote areas, almost always in the summer or fall, finding airplane wreckage. Some finds have dated to WWII!
I doubt this was any sort of conspiracy! it was more likely different from a routine single-engine plane crash in the area only in the pact that a high-profile person was on board. Possibly, at some future time someone will come across the crash site, but you never know, some of those areas are virtually inaccessible, and by now there has been snow, and probably wildlife visits to the site!
He went down somewhere, probably somewhere that is only accessible by helicopter, and if there was any extreme weather at the time he crashed, or during the search, it is possible no one could get in there. - oldhick, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2As opposed to Rawstory or the other Digg favorites?
- HenvY, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2I don't think it's a conspiracy but it sure is a big ***** mystery. It's really sad, I almost feel like going out there and doing a ground search myself. Hey, anyone want to get a team together?
- STKD, on 02/05/2008, -1/+3Ooh! Because Kennedy faked the moon landings right?
Wow... it really does all tie together now*.
*if you're a conspiracy fantasist nutcase reading that - it was made up. I know you have enough trouble seperating fantasy and reality, so I'll give you that one for free. - JMellissa, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2That would be one heck of a tax shelter!
- inactive, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2Hmmm Texas was in the range of his plane, and who is from Texas? Ron Paul.
- l00s3r, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2Half of all murders are never solved. Ohhh, statistics!!
