We all lost another one. We are all culpable in this cosmic tragedy that is existence.

Probably an authentic psychic fortuneteller was in the airport telling everyone something terrible was going to happen to that flight. 59 people didn't listen.

Once on a 747 I had a whole row to myself because the plane was mostly empty. Also it didn't crash into the ocean, so I enjoyed it for 2 reasons.

WTF. Are we just noticing planes being misplaced more since MH370, or are they actually going missing more often?

It's been less than 24 hours so far, this one will be found. The Mediterranean is a much smaller area to search than the Indian Ocean. Plus they know roughly where to look which is a lot better chance than they had with MH370

Most planes are so bad at hide and go see. Really have to hand it to MH370.

Maybe it fell asleep?

Air traffic controllers around the world were on high alert, so when Delta Airlines flight DL8957 from Germany to Kuwait strayed into Greek airspace over the Mediterranean Sea around 7.10pm, they jumped into action.

The Athens-based controllers issued repeated — and frantic — requests for the pilots to identify themselves but were met with silence. Due to hijack fears, the incident was immediately brought to the attention of the country’s Ministry of Defence by the Greek Civil Aviation authority.

With no idea what was happening on board, two F-16 fighter jets were scrambled to intercept the “ghost flight”, which was at this point nearing Santorini. This was standard military protocol.

The F-16 pilots tried to see what was happening inside the plane, reporting that the Delta pilots appeared to be in their seats but were possibly asleep. One of the fighter jets even flew in front of the Boeing passenger plane and used light signals in a desperate attempt to rouse them, but there was still no response.

It was only when shocked passengers alerted flight attendants to the fighter jets that surrounded the plane, that the pilots were roused as the crew banged on the cockpit door. They then contacted Greek authorities. By then, it had been nearly an hour without any contact.
