Someone on reddit pointed out this happened exactly 804 days after Malaysia Airlines 370 vanished. Weird coincidence.

It's the number of this flight that just vanished.

The Mediterranean is more of a small lake compared to the Indian ocean. So this one will be found.

Why is it that we can track boats with satellites but not planes? In fact we have a complete image[1] of boat activity in the area at the time of disappearance.

It seems as crazy to me as how we can offer in-flight satellite-based wifi but not GPS tracking.
