Yea, gravity works 100% of the time. No exceptions. I guess if there was a large updraft they might stay up a little longer, but gravity will win in the end.
There many Navy ships on the ocean floor but no Air Force anywhere has ever had any aircraft stuck "up there"
I keep checking this thread wanting to see the news that something was found.
It is so sad for the families and loved ones of the passengers and crew.
