Airplane crashes
I just had this weird thought and couldn't get it out of my head.
Have any of you been at an airport when a flight that was supposed to land there crashed en route? Do the monitors (where it shows arrival time, status, etc.) show "crashed" or what? Delayed indefinitely, perhaps? |

I was at a Wendy's once and ordered a Chicken BLT salad, and they said, "sorry sir, we are out of Chicken BLT salads."
So maybe airports say, "sorry sir, we are out of American Airlines Flight 938's..." |

Depending on case:
Disconnected, probably crashed. Crashed, all dead. Crashed, all probably dead. |

Re: Airplane crashes
My girlfriend used to be a flight attendant. Whenever she was delayed significantly, and hadn't called in advance to let me know (meaning it's just because the flight took off late for some reason), I just had to check the monitor (online) like every five minutes, wondering the exact same thing as OP. It looks like an ordinary delay, but how would I know?
So yeah, if anyone knows, I'm still kind of curious. |

Re: Airplane crashes
I know nothing about the true answer, but I'd say I'm 99% positive it just says delayed and nothing else. They aren't going to change it to "crashed" or anything else. That would incite a panic.

Re: Airplane crashes
Wouldn't they just remove it from the monitors entirely? What am I missing here?

Re: Airplane crashes
this happened like 2 weeks ago at my school, its not a big commercial flight so there is no specific arrival time so it wouldnt say the flight was delayed or anything. the only thing that happened was the flight service station ordered a search and rescue when their flight plan had not been closed after a half hour of their expected arrival time. i think it was regarded as overdue at first, then the next day when i was their flying the screen said severly overdue. they were hoping it hadnt crashed and that some minor malfunction occured and that they were at some small airport in the middle of nowhere stranded. Once they were certain they werent they took it off the screen. They found it in a swamp like 4-5 days later. Commercial flight would obviosly be different and they would not say crash or anything else probably, they would take it off the screen and begin notifying loved ones if the news hadnt already.
