I don’t think it’s really that unusual that they won’t give up potentially sensitive information. Maybe they know something about this group of “volunteers” that we don’t know, or maybe they don’t know anything about them, and are reluctant to give up information to an unknown entity that might...

I thought it was reported the luggage of the people who didn’t end up boarding MH370, was removed from the plane before departure?

Interesting. I have no idea if you’re correct or not, but it sure sounds like a logical explanation to me! :laughitup: Archangel7, you mention tail stabilizers staying afloat for a “relatively long time” in other ocean crashes. Can you elaborate on what a relatively long time would be? A...

I found this: http://jalopnik.com/the-ten-most-expensive-airline-tickets-you-can-buy-508196565 Which lists a one-way first-class ticket from NYC to Sao Paulo for $40K, so I guess that’s sort of in the realm, especially when you factor in Canadian exchange and all the surcharges we have...

That information would lend support to the idea that the signals/sounds picked up by the Ocean Shield were from the black boxes of the plane. 10 kHz and 70 kHz are well outside of the 37.5 kHz used by the black boxes. And a 4 second emission interval is well outside of the one second...

Correct me if I’m wrong, but they don’t yet know exactly when the ACARS stopped working/was turned off, right? They know it made a transmission at 1:07am, and they know it didn’t make the next expected transmission at 1:37am, but they don’t know if it was turned off, or if stopped working due...

The thing that bugs me about the alleged Maldives sightings, is that MAL planes have both red and blue stripes. If the plane was viewed from the side (as it must have been since the witnesses said the doors were clearly visible), the blue “Malaysia” painted on the side would have...

Not related to the search for MH370. Not even the correct ocean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aow2ErSP3dQ It was definitely shot at least a year before MH370 even disappeared and it’s allegedly a tanker vessel off of Portugal during a storm in the North Atlantic.

If I’m not mistaken, there are no photos to show. Unless I missed the change, the Bluefin is searching and mapping using sonar, not cameras at this stage, right?

Actually, that can be relatively easily explained. 1: It’s far more likely that a satellite is ideally positioned (for surveillance) over land, than it is one would be ideally positioned over remote stretches of ocean. The better the position, the better the photos. That was discussed...

I was just thinking the same thing. What are the odds that an airline would have such a clean safety record, and then suddenly have 5 significant incidents in a month and a half? Maybe there is a political statement being made after all, and maybe the flight crew of MH370 weren’t the ones...

http://www.universetoday.com/42198/how-many-satellites-in-space/ According to that link, there are 1071(+ now, since there have been new launches since then) satellites orbiting earth - roughly half of those are in Low-Earth Orbit, many of which are used to observe the Earth.

It’s this service/membership you buy from Amazon. I’m not sure what it costs in the US, but in Canada it’s $80 or $90/year. You get free 2-day shipping on eligible items (most things have a prime eligible option), next day shipping for $3.99. There are probably other benefits as well, (in the...

Yeah, I mean maybe it’s all been a big misunderstanding. Maybe they just detoured to plug the plane in so it could recharge, and maybe someone forgot to pack the voltage converter!

My guess is: Regurgitating news stories + conspiracy theories + anti-Obama rhetoric + anti-Arab rhetoric + a bunch of “prepper” tips. :laughitup: If you have a smartphone, you can install the Kindle app, and download books from Amazon. I have my Kindle app linked to the US Amazon site...
