The only reason I can't go full tinfoil on this is that it takes a hell of a lot of things working out to fake your death by sailing into a fortuitous freak tornado. How would you even plan and execute that? If he'd just disappeared from the boat in the night or something it would be a different story.
But it sure is weird as hell.
- TeMPOraL 2y ago> is that it takes a hell of a lot of things working out to fake your death by sailing into a fortuitous freak tornado It takes hell of a lot less things working out to actually die after a freaking Panavia Tornado[0] unexpectedly drops something on you. Not that I'm draped in tinfoil or anything, but the more I read about all this, the more it feels like watching a thriller. -- [0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panavia_Tornado https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panavia_Tornado

- DoctorOetker 2y agoI agree, but they are choosing a dead end path: whoever wants to know where they are can sample DNA from as many relatives as possible, surreptitiously. Nanopores can be made with dielectric breakdown of a thin piece of etched wafer. Low input current noise op-amps can be used to measure the nanopore signal. A dedicated skip tracer will find you through environmental DNA.
