The unbelievable has become the everyday

The Air France disaster shows how what was unimaginable only a few years ago (in an area of 100s of square miles, to find wreckage in less than a day) has become possible. And so, while I believe the sincerity of statements that the black boxes may never be found, I suspect we will be surprised in short order by their recovery.

I feel terribly for the families and hope some future tragedy can be avoided by review of the event.

And then again, perhaps so.

And the initial thesis proves true. The impossible becomes the everyday.
