there have been over 80 "missing" planes since 1948


1948, eh? Why didn't those passengers just use their cellphone cameras in 1948? Something tells me that in 2014 the world has a little bit more sophisticated airline tracking system than in 1948.

Did any of those 80 "missing" planes since 1948 turnaround mid-flight and continue to fly for 7.5 hours? That's the thing, the plane made a 100 degree to 180 degree turn, and then dropped off of radar. If the plane was in trouble, I'm certain the captain would have relayed that message to air traffic control.
