Chilean C130 lost on its way to Antarctica, 17 crew members, 21 passengers. HMMMMMM.....what do you all think? Search is underway since yesterday. ABC, PBS, CBS, Fox all have online reports about the lost plane. The plane left Monday from the Southern most tip of Chile and was crossing the drake passage, an area known to frequently have difficult weather for flying.  Half way to Antarctica they lost radio contact with the plane.  The plane was only carrying 3 civilians.  I did not i the articles I linked here see a purpose for the flight. https://www.stripes.com/news/chile-c-130-missing-with-38-passengers-on-way-to-antarctica-1.610549 Here's a map of where they took off and disappeared.  https://theaviationist.com/2019/12/10/antarctic-chilean-c-130-flight-with-38-on-board-disappears-over-drake-passage/ Here's a map showing the location of Rothschild Island.  The plane was not on a direct trajectory to the island, if the map is a truthful representation.  But it looks like about 1200 kilometers to the North of the Island as the crow flies, it lost contact. https://mapcarta.com/25587138
