$10 Upgrade Could Have Tracked Missing Malaysian Jet
A simple computer upgrade that would have cost $10 per plane would have allowed Malaysia Airlines to track the jet...
A satellite industry official told the Washington Post that the upgrade, which the airline declined to purchase, would have enabled investigators to track the direction, speed, and altitude of the airliner.
The upgrade, for a system known as Swift, would have continued to transmit flight data by satellite even after the planes transponder and Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System signals went dead, the Post reports.
The satellite industry official, who was not named by the Post, compared Swift to a cellphone that sends data to a satellite. It is able to transmit information on engine performance, fuel consumption, speed, altitude, and direction even with ACARS switched off, he said.

Its true I switched mine to only show the last 24 hours a couple a days ago and I am still SPINNING!!!Thanks for the kind words of support .....:tantrum:
It is important, too, that a lot of the nations are cooperating to find this plane. And that is a good thing. Too bad it takes something like this to make us cooperate. jmo
Sorry....
I didn't know the witch doctors were family members... :blushing:

thanks for being my friend
Let all put on our thinking/ memory caps! Other than the plane has vanished can anyone come up with ONE thing I am serious, that has been reported and not been denied or turned around . I flunked anyone else
It is mirroring schizophrenia.
Guys I love you all and I usually try to read every post but I have had a long, horrible day (I'm sure not as horrible as the families have had, I heard they are threatening hunger strikes) and I'm over 800 posts behind. Anything new? New theories? New info? Is Malaysia back peddling anymore? TIA. I shall await the answer and then pass out. :loveya:
