The FULL MH370 Story...So Far.

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5K9HBiJpuk

Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370 is quite an aircraft mystery.

"The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER operated by Malaysia Airlines, last made voice contact with ATC at 01:19 MYT, 8 March (17:19 UTC, 7 March) when it was over the South China Sea, less than an hour after takeoff. It disappeared from ATC radar screens at 01:22 MYT, but was still tracked on military radar as it turned sharply away from its original northeastern course to head west and cross the Malay Peninsula, continuing that course until leaving the range of the military radar at 02:22 while over the Andaman Sea, 200 nautical miles (370 km; 230 mi) northwest of Penang Island, in northwestern Malaysia." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370#Timeline

The Most Bizarre Theme Cruises in the World

Unfortunately, as people get older, many get out of shape or become FAT. Thus, a costume cruise or a provocative clothing cruise would be so much better. However, there still could be a market for an old FAT people nude cruise. Even an anorexic nude cruise could sink one's hopes. Pavocative Costume Cruises or Cosplay Cruises are some of the best, because all kinds of styles, shapes and sizes can be there.

Whether or not this world is part of a cosmic simulation, various realities and scenarios can be simulated, with enough pertinent data. Digital models and computer simulations are suppose to greatly reduce the structural problems with aircraft. Unfortunately, Boeing has had many challenges recently.

Blue Thunder (1983)

Blue_Thunder is a thrilling and cautionary Sci-Fi movie about urban Police_aviation vehicles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Thunder#Plot

Of course today there could be drone equivalents of a Blue_Thunder_type_helicopter. Such tech can be quite beneficial, but there is always a potential for it to be abused, as is the case with any technology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Thunder#Remake , https://www.imdb.com/news/ni58407010/

So this looks like its just a drone movie and it's taking quite a long time to even get the movie started.

A Driverless taxi vandalized and set on fire in San Francisco

 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/12/waymo-car-fire-san-francisco#

Was it a prank that got out of control, or something else that set off an angry mob?

https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/12/a-waymo-robotaxi-was-vandalized-and-burned-in-san-francisco

However, if there is a perceived threat to human jobs & culture, some people will take it to the streets.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/3akeev/a-crowd-attacked-a-waymo-self-driving-car-and-set-it-on-fire

If this AI Tech was gradually implemented over the course of a century (from 2000 to 2100), that would give human civilization plenty of time to adapt.

From 2000 to 2050, things might get a little more contentious, but from 2024 to 2050, the strain might be too much.
