Not really a comparison.
Yes, maybe it is tinfoil hat time. Even with the technology we know about, the complete disappearance of a 777 after 2+ weeks is suspect. And then there's the technology we don't know about that makes it essentially, well, impossible. Just having a hard time believing this is "perfectly normal".

My point of the lost dog was to illustrate the concept of "flat out lost" and the situation of numerous scenarios, not to compare the search for the plane as parallel to a lost dog.
Still, the world is a very large place and it is not all covered by technological "eyes." Regardless of the sophisticated communication on that plane,
it was not working. Regardless of the sophisticated tracking and search technology, it is no good unless you know
where to look.
No one I've heard on this subject, including certifiable experts in the fields of aviation, military, and search/rescue, think this is anywhere near "perfectly normal." They've all said they have never experienced anything like it in their careers.
