Missing: Father and Son

Three Norwegians were on the missing Air France plane and the names have been released. Among the missing are a father and his son. Why does the name Karsten Moholt sound so familiar?

It must be because it's the name of the company next door. I see it every single time I look out my window, and I've heard them working all day and all night the five years I've lived here.

It's eerily quiet down there today.

Missing: 1 Airplane

Usually there are photos, videos, eye witness accounts.
This time there is nothing.

Most times we're swamped with information.
This time no one knows.

It's strange. But at the same time its not. An airplane is big, but the ocean is huge. Capable of hiding anything. To open up and swallow it whole.

I feel for the families, not knowing is the worst there is. Unless you know what it's staring death in the face knowing there is no way out.

I did always want a funeral at sea, laid in a vessel set on fire. But not like this.
