This accident is becoming more and more intriguing. Shouldn´t they have spotted floating debris by now? The usual floating things that reach beaches or keep just buoying for a while? Even if the plane is somewhere else, that area is cruised by ships and they should have spotted debris.

realist, have you never had a deja vu? Mediunity is not only being able to see or hear entities - actually, only a very small percentage are able to do so. A deja vu is an example of mediunity which is quite common.

@ jonnyboy: that´s an aspect I want to avoid discussing here because then it would need us to talk about things like plasma body, bion, chakras and all the stuff I know scientists can´t take into account. As I said above, I understand their point of view. But I do not expect mine to be understood or accepted, and that´s fine with me. On a more scientific angle: I do believe that quantum physics has more to be discovered, tested. And I don´t agree with the 11 dimensions string-theory, or 36 as some are saying now. I believe in infinite dimensions. You are right, QM do not support personal extra-dimensions experiences like mine. But I think this is for the time being, I hope.

@jonnyboy: I have friends who are sceptics and they give thousands of reasons, amateur and academic, to dismiss experiences like mine. I understand them, it´s not easy to admit that there are people, objects, life parallel to our perception of 4-dimensions. Not even Einstein believed it, after he himself discovered it.

Den Den has a point: sceptics can really block themselves from this experience, just by not believing.
One For All: After reading tens of books about similar experiences, I have come to a point of having to study quantum physics, Einstein to understand - even if barely - what really happens. In short, time as we perceive it is only a face of the true notion of it. Have you heard about the twin-photos billions of miles away from each other (an Einstein experience by the way), but they can interact instantly, amazingly telling scientists that distance and time sometimes do no exist? Bringing this to the ¨ghost¨ topic: these entities are in a different time- and distance-frame different from ours. In another dimension to be more clear. This another dimension exist, among infinite other ones. In one of them is the electron which is making your computer work right now, for instance. As the saying goes, there are many more things that don´t reach our eyes.

I understand Blackops: Japanese don´t have sex as an aim in their daily lives. Duties first. While we westerners have sex (why do you have happy hours every day, if it´s not cruising for a potential sexy, hot partner?)as a priority.

Dr jones: This really happened. I really saw her. And it was not only me, all the previous tenants had seen her, or some felt or heard her. That´s why no one stayed there more than a month. After that experience, I lived there for more than one year in total peace. Since then I moved into a new ap because of my job, and again the first week inside it I saw an old man standing by the window in my bedroom. Again I forced myself to calm down and pray, and he just vanished and a good sensation came to me. After that my landlord reluctantly told me that some 10 years before an old solitary man had died here. I have been here for more than 3 years, and in peace. I have been studying this phenomena and it seems that I am a medium. Actually according to what I am studying all of us are mediums, but we don´t know about it. It only surfaces if you study.

NYT reported that two Airbus had problems recently. However the Brazilian midia is saying that NYT is just trying to make Airbus look unsafe while praising (silently) Boeing. Last report says that the plane was almost 1 km below the right altitude it should be, but this is not considered an error for the moment being. This route is used by almost every plane leaving from southern South America and vice versa, so the plane could just have given way to an oncoming plane from Europe.

yes. I once lived in an apartment that no one stayed there longer than a couple of weeks - I didn't know about that when I moved into it. Then one night I heard someone walking inside my room, and I felt a presence, a woman. I panicked, but then being religious paid service: it came to my mind to pray a Hail Mary asking for help for this entity (I didn't pray asking the entity to disappear, for all of a sudden I felt that what she wanted was help). It worked, after praying, I felt so calm, so in peace, and I slept. When I was sleeping I felt a caring, soft hand brushing lightly my hair, and the thought of "arigatou" came to my mind. After that, I had two more experiences similar to this one. In short, I am not afraid of ghosts, dead people, entities. I am afraid of live people. These ones may rob, rape and kill me.

Experts are saying that if the plane just crossed in the eye of the storm, the engines could have frozen and brought the plane to a 20 degree angle, which would then bring actually to a 70 degree descend. This would disintegrate the plane in mid air. That´s what Oglobo is quoting from international experts. RIP.

Well Kirakira, I think that 9 out of 10 foreigners, if not all of them, have had their credit cards refused someplace in Japan. I had my credit card refused in very strange situations like this: on the first floor of Tokyu Hands it was refused, on the second floor I tried it, and it was accepted - this time, I thought, it was refused because the owner, i.e. me, was a foreigner. So, I have stopped using my cards in Japan, I use them only abroad. It works like this: if I have money I buy, if I don´t I go to an ATM. No cards in Japan anymore.

Kirakira: add Muji stores to your ¨I am sorry sir, but your card is blocked¨ list. Recently an American friend with more than 5 thousand dollars limit had this ungracious experience, only to call her bank in US and hear the same you said above.

As I was the one who mentioned a bomb, it is hardly possible that it was the reason for this accident. Authorities have just let open the possibility, among hundred different ones, until they can come with an explanation.

I think that she is dellusional. She has the ¨Please say I am hot Syndrom¨ which affects Japanese women. Spending so much time and money with beauty goods, with endless shopping, with following the latest trend (and if possible the futurest trend), they think they have to justify all this effort. How many times have you crossed with a Japanese woman who thought that the sidewalk is a actually a catwalk? And like in the TV commercials she was dreaming of men stopping, looking behind when they pass, and saying ¨kawaiiiiii¨. A friend of mine call them ¨Mariah Careys¨: they force their ¨beauty¨ and ¨hotness¨ over you. If no one think they are beautiful, then they say they are - just like that other tarento who recently said she was offered millions by a foreigner, who beggeg her to marry him. Call it a fantasy!

My 2 cents: it could have been a lightning, a very powerful one. Brazil is the most lightning hit country in the world, and there´s a study saying that i the last years there have been unusual strong ones. They don´t know the reason, but scientific guesses range from the global warming to sun bursts. Also, UOL Brazil has a link stating that authorities have not dismissed the possibility of a bomb. So, it´s too early to know what really happened. Official results take what, years?

The very first time I came to visit Japan, I had a vision that was almost apocaliptic, if it weren't hilarious: leaving a train in Shinjuku, I was surrounded by hundreds of brides in black, gray, violet, their dresses disheveled, torn. Make up would make Gene Simmons of Kiss cry of envy. All of them with these true tears of a mix of joy and despair, the perfect emos. It was something surreal. My friend realising my astonishment, told me: X-Japan fans. I wish I had a camera then, it was unique.

franz75, I strongly recommend you to contact moderator and ask this last post removed. This is a free bad-adverstisement that no company wants. Plus, Air France is quite reliable. If you follow this train of thought you're gonna fly only Qantas.

As I said, if you are happy with this live music little scene, good for you. I expect more than a singer singing in a train station with 5 people watching to call it live music, eheh. Oh no, Italy and Thailand are paradises, but I love J money. eheh.
