!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! has a fascinating interactive map showing all the airplanes (we know of) that have disappeared since 1948. Every dot on the map corresponds to a flight that has gone missing without a trace. Of course, many of the dots are approximate, or simply a guess. Perhaps this map will help people understand why we may never find MH370.

Looks like only 5 large jets on the whole map, most of the are DC-3s or smaller private jets and prop planes.

June 5, 1969 - Rivet Amber (U.S. Air Force Boeing RC-135E)

January 30, 1979 - PP-VLU (Varig Brasil, Boeing 707-323C)

September 11, 1990 - OB-1303 (Faucett Peru positioning flight, Boeing 727-247)

December 22, 1997 - ER-ACF (Renan positioning flight, Antonov An-72)

And, of course, MH370 in 2014.

Of those, we know exactly what happened to the 727 in 1990- they ran out of fuel and crashed. And MH370 and the Varig 707 were the only two on scheduled airline fights.
