How the heck can you loose track of a huge cargo ship? The "Arctic Sea" has been missing for a week and they still can't confirm it's location, their reporting it in 3 different possible locations, is anyone else following this odd story?

sunk, hijacked or the GPS system is telling them that their address doesn't exist

If it was just lost then they could have raised the crew by now. 


Probably either sunk or jacked.

That's just it, it is a strange story so far.

The ocean is really big. If you shut off the electronics/radios and deviate from course then it would be really hard to be found. (Land based radar doesn't stretch across the ocean.) With the economy there are fewer ships going places so it's less likely that a passing ship would notice it. I read I an article the other day that lots of cargo ships look the same (surprise!) and it's relatively easy to just cover the name with a different name. Unless someone boards the ship to look at the documentation it would be difficult to verify the true identity. It's definitely a strange story.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

I Was thinking the exact same thing!! Any how, it is a strange story. I'll bet we never will be told the WHOLE story, ( as with MOST news storys). This link talks about the ship being located....
