"one of the last truly disconnected spaces"... that's gone for a LOOONG time.

I remember remote-debugging a critical crash from a cruise ship in 1996. (Via fax. It was... an experience :)

MH370 disappeared more recently than that. Hard to believe it could happen again though - particularly with the forthcoming phone to sat services from SpaceX and Apple.

Wonder if you could make this into an interesting short story, or maybe even a screenplay for a movie using lots of creative license.

I don't think I could. But if you want to take it and run with it, it's all yours.
