His plane was finally found...

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/10/02/sot.fossett.plane.briefing.ktxl?iref=mpvideosview

... as a result of yesterday's finding of his ID and cash:

Does anyone have links to photos of the wreckage? I'm also interested to see a map that shows where the id was found in relation to the crash site.

I would image it would look like this one:

His plane was made out of steel and it was nowhere near the crash.

This is another lie from the government.

Yeah, ask Xiaou2. There is no way someone's ID survives a plain crash.

Xiaou2 · « **Reply #4 on:** October 02, 2008, 03:41:00 pm »

You mean, his plane had 250,000 lbs worth of fuel onboard?

Idiot.

It might survive a fancy crash, though.

A 747 crashed into Amsterdam. They found the co-pilot in an appartment. There wasn't a single part of the plane left and the whole area burned down. Guess he was planted there too.

Yeah it was obvious. I was just referring to a similar recurring P&R joke that Xiauo2 keeps posting. Although he might be serious. It's hard to tell.

No body? Where the hell did this guy go? Crazy... Anyone think he could still be alive?

Nope. They believe there was a fire after a fairly high speed impact in the side of the mountain. My guess is the body could have been burned or dragged off by animals in the remote area the wreckage was found.

Who is Steve Fosset?

Really?? Steve Fossett wiki page

Oh yeah. I remember his balloon ride.

Which one? He had six "balloon rides".

shmokes · « **Reply #16 on:** October 03, 2008, 05:13:18 pm »

I don't know . . . probably the first time he went around the world. Whichever one got the most publicity is probably the one I remember.

Actually, didn't he have a couple failed attempts first? Maybe I'm thinking about the guy who wanted to go highest in a balloon.

billf · « **Reply #17 on:** October 03, 2008, 05:20:01 pm »

I think you got the right guy. He tried six around the world balloon attempts and finally succeeded on the last one. He definitely had media coverage for the successful one as well as some of the failed attempts.

Ummon · « **Reply #18 on:** October 03, 2008, 07:20:32 pm »

I guess he could pilot balloons better. Wonder how much was in his wallet.

They reported the amount he had (that was found). A little over a grand in cash... It think it was like $1008.
Thats not really an unusual amount of cash to be flying with. If he planned a stop an an airport that couldn't take a credit/debit card, he probably had just enough for fuel and food.

A 747 crashed into a cemetery near here. They found 4000 bodies.

Well no wonder it crashed .... it was obviously overloaded.
