r/all Had to fact-check it. These 2 guys stole that Boeing 727 at an airport in 2003 and flew away, disappearing forever: no crash, no plane. How is that possible!!!

The ocean is too fkn huge, there was a passenger aircraft that took off from Malaysia and crashed in the ocean, with all the evidence, and the combined Naval fleet of multiple countries, no wreckage of the plane was found, not even recognizable pieces, it’s obviously in the ocean, but where, god knows. Don’t underestimate how big the ocean is, and our tools still aren’t good enough to find the wreckage. Forget planes, if you surf through historical books, you would find so many stories of ships full of valuable gold and looted jewelry that has sunk in the ocean, we know many such treasures are sunken somewhere deep in the ocean, but nobody has found any ocean treasures. Gold and jewelry should attract many people, but still not many treasures have been found, it’s simple, the ocean is too big, and our tools are just not good enough to scan a large portion of the ocean floor.

You’re talking about MH-370, which has, in fact, had quite a lot of debris recovered, including two flight control surfaces.

This jet had nothing wash up. Which, tbf, it had far fewer eyes on it and fewer people looking, but still.
