    An Air India flight en route to Chicago was forced to land in a remote Canadian city on Monday due to a bomb threat, officials say.

    According to data posted by FlightAware, the plane left Delhi and touched down at Iqaluit International Airport in Iqaluit, Canada, at around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday morning. Iqaluit is the capital of the Nunavut territory.

    "Flight Al127 operating from Delhi to Chicago on October 15, 2024, was the subject of a security threat posted online and, as a precautionary measure, has landed at Iqaluit Airport in Canada," the airline's post read.


    Note on the map, northern Canada is ON THE WAY TO CHICAGO.
    This is not the case in the Globe "Earth ball" paradigm.
    Flat earth confirmed. Again.

    Don't just opine, prove it for those of us who don't see it as you do. How are you concluding that the above is not possible/probable/practical on a globe?

    Edit: I see you added a rectangular map. A globe is not a rectangular flat plane.

  • Maps are two dimensional, not three.  Also, you’re assuming flight paths take the most direct route.  My uncle was a flight engineer for American Airlines for many years.  I wish I’d have been more attentive because he explained several times how and why planes don’t take off and fly what appears on a map or globe just straight to their destinations.  
    I’m not interested in arguing.  We’ll all find out, hopefully, if we make it to Heaven.  I suspect we cannot comprehend in this life the “shape” of the earth because there may be a fourth or higher dimension involved that our puny minds cannot understand.

    My uncle’s most frequent flights at the time of his retirement in 1985, Los Angeles, New York, Aruba, and New York, London.  These were on the 747.  Before then, I’m not sure.  He flew 707, not sure to where.  He started out flying propeller planes in the USA.

  • The string in the pictures above is at its shortest path. I would have had to use tape in the middle to make it go any other way.

  • I don't own a globe anymore, so I used a regular Mercator world map projection I found online. Apparently those things are downright useless.

    You're right though, the flight and emergency stop line up in both paradigms.

    I'll call this one a "draw" in the globe vs. FE debate.

    For a minute there I thought it was another one of those emergency landings that prove flat earth. Sorry for the false alarm. Many flights prove nothing. But some are red flags that something isn't right, if you assume the "globe" paradigm.

    So I'll have to suggest this book instead:

  • What are everyone's thoughts on The Final Experiment?  Will Duffy is paying for a flat and globe earther to go down to Antarctica to observe whether there is, or isn't, a visible 24 hour sun.  Others are crowdfunding to raise the $32,000 but it's scheduled for this December.  Should be interesting nonetheless.

    My guess is something happens where the experiment and trip is cancelled and we'll never know for sure.  The skeptic in me also thinks this whole thing is a massive troll job and no FE'ers actually go.

    Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.  They've tried several similar things before ... but they always end up getting "cancelled".  There was one (anti-FE) pilot who went on Youtube and claimed that he would fly a chartered plane over Antarctica, but then backed out when FEs contacted him to take him up on the offer.

  • It might get cancelled but Will Duffy, the pastor organizing it, seems genuine and is using his own cash to fund at least two of the participants (one glober and one flat earther).  The question then becomes 'what happens if the sun is visible for 24 hours?'  What makes it interesting is that both camps agree it would prove/support the globe model.  It'll be interesting to see it play out.
