Steve Fossett

There are probably legal reasons why Schienle does not want to make the statement that it is Fossett's.
Probably waiting for the forensic tests to be done.
I know the area around Mammoth Lakes pretty well and it is really,really,rugged country.
A plane could easily crash and not be found for a while.
 
I've been to Mammoth Lakes many times and that is one place where a crashed plane would be hard to find.

It is not like people haven't faked evidence before. :rolleyes:

What are the odds that these hikers just HAPPEN to be hiking where his plane went down, and they just HAPPEN to find some apparent belongings that are CONVENIENTLY located near the crash. Too many coincidences I tell ya! :eek:

I actually agree with this. I'm proud of the guy for not jumping the gun, regardless of how solid the bullet appears at face value. :)

I dunno. I was flying my hang glider over Devil's Canyon, a few years before it burned. It was covered in buckbrush about eight feet deep.
My wallet slipped out of my pocket. There was no way my wallet was going to be found, so I replaced it and everything in it.

Three months later, I got a call from the sheriff's office. Some Girl Scouts had been on a day hike, noticed my wallet, and turned it in. Go figure.
 
I bet he found the hatch, and is currently typing 4-8-15-16-23-42 into the computer every 108 minutes.

When I was monitoring dive crews working on the Richmond/San Rafael bridge in the San Francisco Bay, one of the divers found a purse on the bottom of the Bay. It had been chucked over the bridge railing by a thief who was fleeing police. The purse's contents were intact, so we were able to locate the owner.

So if all this stuff in obscure areas can be found, why can't I find my TV remote? :confused:
 
Northwest of the Devils Postpile. That is some rugged country.

No crap.
Beleive me folks, a small plane could go down in that country and unless somebody happened to see it..not likely consdiering how small the population is....no one would have any idea a plane crashed in that vicnity until a backpacker or a hunter stumbled across it.
Or a film crew. A number of movies are made there because the country is beautiful, and it is one of the few really remote areas left within a day's travel of LA where you don't need to do much to erase all traces of civilization.
 
BTW there is discussion going on the General Skepticism section about how this discovery proves Slyvia Brown to be wrong.....yet again.

I was supposed to go on a backpacking trip up there back in August but the plans fell apart when I needed to get work done on my car instead. It was probably for the best because I'm not sure I would have been in good enough shape for that. I usually need a few less arduous trips to buildup some endurance for that kind of terrain.

It's my belief they have an instinct to crawl under sofa cushions to die.
