Do you think this Steve Fossett incident is simply another well-planned publicity stunt?

Question

I mean, that's his business after all, the daring adventurer. That's how he wants to be seen.

Maybe he just needs another story: the time he made a forced landing in the badlands or wherever he is, then found his way back to civilization, surviving on cactus juice and insects.

Answer 1

I think it's a publicity stunt. The media is now reporting that he had enough food and water with him to survive for 2 weeks. Also, why wouldn't he have a cell phone or some type of GPS system on him? He's rich, so it's not like he can't afford those things.

Answer 2

no this is a tragedy -- I live in Nevada.
people do not fake injury and accident.
