Reminds me of a few years ago when I said that I thought it was likely the NSA and GCHQ were able to monitor and then inspect without warrants pretty much anything they wanted on the internet, password or not, and I was ridiculed as a conspiracy theorist. After Snowden's revelations I see absolutely zero reason to trust anything any of these companies say or do. And I would use them all with caution - especially if it's your startup's patent application stored in onedrive.

I haven't seen a discussion about whether this can also bypass those using 2-step verification. Does anyone here know?

I'm in Lima right now, hardly anyone has noticed a thing so for the moment I would try not to worry. Certainly don't know anyone who even felt any tremors.

But that's crazy in my view - how can a plane just turn back on itself and fly completely the wrong way for hours without anyone either noticing or alerting a higher authority. I mean, as far as I can tell this just wouldn't happen if flying from one location to another in the west.

Imagine if a plane took off from New York bound for Vancouver, and just turned back on itself and started flying out into the ocean. No one would notice or do anything?!

How Did MH370 Not Trigger Alerts On Direction Change?

I haven't seen anywhere on the news a discussion of how it was even possible that a plane could turn completely off course and not trigger any alerts.

Does anyone know about this?

I mean for example, if a plane is flying London to Paris, I would be extremely surprised if a 270 degree change of course didn't at the very least trigger authorities to investigate and attempt to contact the plane. At the time it turned it was surely in radar range right?

Basically, how could they possibly not have noticed at the time and therefore alerted someone at the time?!

I find this to be extremely scary in itself.
