this parallels the Schrödinger's cat experiment. As I was
talking with a few of my friends, they too brought up the same
experiment. For those that are not familar with the experiment,
here is a brief overview:  A cat is placed in a box which also
has a container filled with poison. The box is closed, so you
cannot see what is happening inside. It is not known if the
poison container is broken. If it brakes, the cat dies, but if
it doesn't, the cat lives. Because you cannot see what is inside
and do not know the outcome, the cat is both dead and alive at
the same time. When the box is open, only one result can occur
in this reailty, but in another reality the opposite outcome
happens.  This is very similar to Flight 815. It both crashes
and lands safely at the same time. But only
