7. Yes, Steve Fossett

...the adventurer! You know, the guy who took off in the plane and never returned.

3. Wow.

Mammoth wasn't even part of the original search, was it??

5. No shit?

If they're finding his stuff, his remains must be there somewhere...:shrug:

10. Whether he's alive or dead ...

you'd think the plane would be around if he had crashed. It's all just a little too weird. Vanishing without a trace over water is one thing but vanishing over a desert?

9. Any word on the plane?

[Uben]

11. So far....

....its just a sweaty sweatshirt some money and an ID with is name on it.

12. Man, if they don't get a plane and a body soon, this thing

just might blow up beyond that dude who supposedly jumped off the plane with a mess of cash in the Pacific Northwest.

14. DB Cooper.

He didn't supposedly jump - he did jump; with twenty-one pounds of $20s strapped around his waist. He was never found.

[Phoonzang]

13. So that means he didn't die in a crash. Hmm.....

[get the red out]

15. I always wondered (tin-foil alert)

if he didn't get a bit too close to one of the military facilities out in the desert, and somebody got trigger happy. Not something the Gov. would want people to find out about.
