LadyScozz - on the 23 December 1988 I had said goodbye to friends in Glasgow as I was moving down here to Kent, after saying farewell to my friends, I headed south down the A74(M) and as we passed Lockerbie I was shocked by what I saw. |

Mobile phones on planes have only limited range. Once beyond the coverage of the cellular network they depend on relay through the plane's communications systems. Thus in the 777 scenario they could not have been used by passengers to contact anybody as most of the on board comms were disabled. |

So many things must be covered up Tania, bet we'd be amazed at what really happens. The missing plane is really intriguing, when governments tell you than can pick a single person out from a tracking sysyem in space, yet cannot track a plane, makes me wonder if they can really pick out people, or do they know what happened to the plane? |
