Steve Fossett: Dead or Alive

How do you think he will be found?

More info please.

He's found Amelia. They're both on the Dharma Island.

Steve Fosset is a highy accomplished Adventurist that has done everything the sailing boats and yaghts, to racing cars in Lemans, to flying high altitude jets and balloons.


Now he has gone missing in the desert along with the plane he was piloting


He has a Loooong history of doing things to keep the american public on the edge of its seats wondering what his fate will be.


Will his plane run out of fuel?

Will his balloon run out of helium?

will his dog sled team survive the frozen tundra of the alaskan wilderness?

tune in next time...same bat time.. same bat channel, to see what he fate will be!

you know.. things like that

On the upside, search teams have already found three other plane crash sites that they did not know about.

Plus three that had been documented.

Makes you wonder how many things actually go on in the U.S. that are not known.

By a search party, of course.

And I'm gussing he won't be too damn far from the crash sight BTW.

Didn't know that this guy was born in my hometown until he went missing. Nobody around here knew either.

With Holly Valance, Devon Aoki, Sarah Carter and Jaime Pressly on a remote tropical island.

4 days and counting with no word?

Dead.

And probably in a severe enough crash that his ELT didn't transmit.

But even if by some miracle he's survived the crash, he's still been exposed for 4 days or more.

Ahh, you thought Bin Laden was dead too.

I'd be happy to be wrong in this case, though.

Steve Fossett sleeps with the fishes. At the bottom of a smoldering crater. With a Cessna wrapped around his ass.

That's the spirit.

Bill Bryson has written of a plane crash that happened near where he lived at the time in New England. Dozens of people saw the crash, yet a search failed to find any sign of the wreckage.
There's an awful lot of America to get lost in...

Dead or not, I'd have loved to have lived HIS life.

I don't know why, but for some reason I have the feeling that this is all a publicity stunt that has been completely staged by him and his team.

I'll bet that after watching several episodes of "Survivor Man" on the Discovery Channel, he decided to get himself "lost in the desert while forced to live off the elements", have his team who are working undercover as "search party members" find him in about a week "tattered and barely alive", so he can then write a book about it and start making everything from interviews on Orphra and Larry King, to Movie deals with Universal Studios about it.

Four days is nothing for someone trained and equiped to survive in the wilderness.

Assuming he wasn't hurt in the crash that is.

EDIT: I keep an US Army Survival Manual and a Ka-Bar and a length of 550 paracord and 3 20 ounce bottles of water in a leather gunners haversack with me at all times, just in case. It's like a mini bugout bag. that I can carry into a meeting or whereever. Better safe than sorry.

A 75 year old grandmother just came out of the woods in Oregon after becoming lost on a fishing expedition with her husband. She'd been out there by herself for two weeks.

Of course, in this case the big question is did the guy survive the crash.

^I read that story earlier. Thing is, she had access to water. That's the crucial factor when it comes to survival.

Mebbe he did something *REALLY* stupid...


....Like violate the airspace at Groom Lake...
