The Flying Dutchman. A legend of the days of sail, the Flying Dutchman could never make port, could only ride the oceans. The doomed crew, it is said, would try to make contact with other ships, sending messages back for loved ones long dead.

Perhaps Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 will become the aviation age equivalent, an airliner doomed to circle the globe, never able to land, only occasionally pinging satellites, its crew and passengers preserved in a deathless state.
So, if you’re on a flight to somewhere and all those turned off or airplane mode cellphones start ringing, answer the phone. It might be a passenger of Flight 370 wanting to send a message home.
