Disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is very puzzling, with no hard evidence at the time of writing. The nearest thing to good news in this matter, is NextGen, a satellite-based aircraft navigation system under development by the FAA. Better tracking, with more accurate navigation in the air & it will get you to the gate faster.
