Jeezz... it's not a race folks. I just wanted to inform.

Anyone have a mapping website where this is exactly?

How about "Why?"

I hope the crew made it out, but these planes don't just fall out of the sky for no reason...

CNN is reporting that VOICE CONTACT has been made with at least one crew member... and survivors have been spotted in the area around the crash site.

Yep, CNN says the four crew members have been rescued. Excellent news.

Here's some info on Diego Garcia, the location in the Indian Ocean where the plane went down.
