So if contact was lost 5 hours before a statement was issued does that mean there was no failsafe in place to immediately alert them that contact was lost?

- sethhochberg 13y agoATC probably knew they didn't have contact quite a bit earlier than 5 hours after the plane's last communication - but it would make good sense to confirm that the plane is really, actually, 100% sure out of contact before releasing a statement to the public and potentially causing panic.
