Malaysia airlines plane may have crashed 239 people on board #21

[ilovepierre]

Wait, didn't someone say early this AM (4am post Us/EST I think) that they had confirmed the pings were identical sequence to MA370? Or did I doze, wake up and imagine this??

No, you didn't imagine it.

All I can say is that they are doing what they feel is best for our country, as well as quite determinedly saying that the southern Indian Ocean is the spot.

I guess we are accustomed to our military terminology and way of speaking, and understand that means that they 'know' the plane headed our way. They have some 'evidence' of it.

We are not a country that reveals all. We are too closely and completely surrounded by non-allied Asian countries to do that.

I'm sure that the US govt will know whatever we 'know' however, as will the UK govt.

As I've stated before, there is a reason why we put such a very high (the highest) ranking retired military leader in charge of this search operation.

Yes, I agree. The interests of all citizens outweigh that of the individual. If it smelt fishy, someone in the media would have raised it. I also think Angus Houston was chosen because of the countries involved, and the need for someone with authority and diplomacy skills.

Maybe it shadowed a flight out of WMKK and is sitting in Chah Bahar.

Looks like it would be possible to just hit waypoint VAMPI and head across tip of India and to the Middle East.

I'd be suspicious of the cargo and the two stolen passports/passengers. Didn't Interpol verify/validate the two? By Interpol in Tehran?

I agree. MH370 could of flown up the northern arc since the pings can go either way from what I understand.

The Iranians are "cleared". IMO, if they are involved, they were just mules of the master plan. Maybe because the speak Farsi there were needed?

I'm sure I read in a local (aus) news story about a week ago that an expert on tides etc said that items from the wreckage should start appearing on Perth beaches soon and that it would take them this long to reach those beaches.

Googled and can't find the article and I was sick at the time but I know I did read it lease:

BBM ~ Don't you hate when that happens? :floorlaugh:

I'm sure it will eventually wash-up if MH370 is actually where they are searching.

Lost Travel Documents (SLTD) database might have slowed down the process of immigration checks at airport counters.

He said the country's immigration's equipment could not handle the global database of 40.2 million lost passports.

Interpol fired back on Friday, saying the problem cannot be blamed on technology or Interpol.

"Interpol's SLTD database takes just seconds to reveal whether a passport is listed, with recent tests providing results in 0.2 seconds," the international law enforcement agency said in a statement.

you know what just hit me the biggest story on the planet since 9-11-----------------there has only been ONE picture (right?) of passport kids you would think media would have found some more no facebook/ twitter stuff nothing!

24 hours cleared poof not part on story again

(You may have slept for two days.) Over the weekend and on consecutive days, the TPL being towed by Ocean Shield picked up an electronic signal consistent with the electronic signal emmitted by a black box. They felt very strongly that these signals could only have come from a black box. A black box is installed in MA370. However, the signal from a black box is not a smart signal, that is, there is no identifying sequence embedded in its frequency that differentiates it from the signal of any other black box. They are assuming that there is only one missing plane in the search area, and have concluded that the generic black box signal they received must be from the black box of that plane. Moreover, they have since lost the signal. Undeterred, they are painstakingly, thoroughly and methodically applying tried and true procedures to give themselves every possible opportunity to recover that signal. If they are unable to lock on to the signal again in the next two or three days, their next step is deploy an underwater ROV that will move at an even much greaterly painstaking pace. I may doze off for a couple of months when it comes to that.

I'm starting to think they may find the plane intact at the bottom of the ocean. JMO

Is that possible? Can a 777 just glide in?

That image has ran through my head.

Breaking news: (real actual breaking news).

The pings detected match the "last handshake".

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/20...-final-mh370-signal?mch=mobilenh&mchpost=pos5


Black box pings 'linked' to final MH370 signal

Underwater signals recently detected in the Indian Ocean reportedly coincide with the final unexplained signal emitted by missing flight MH370.

Authorities revealed that underwater sounds detected by a ship on Saturday were consistent with aircraft black box pings, but the Telegraph reports that the site is the same point where final contact was estimated two weeks ago.

I am not all crazy...it was this post I saw...

Ridiculous for sure......

They were flying on stolen passports AND were "cleared by Interpol's National Central Bureau in Tehran" yep, move along, nothing to see there........

Going to Europe by way of Bejing...ok nothing to see there......

:facepalm:

:floorlaugh: Just a little crazy.

In the beginning, I lost sleep over this, and i'm literally feeling as if everyday is one long vortexed day.

Oh! AC and press conference time. :seeya:

I am so buoyed by the news from this latest news conference! This is it for sure. I am surprised there has been no debris sighted though, hopefully now that the area is down to 75,000 square kilometres some may be sighted. I do wonder what the chances are of the entire plane being down there, either relatively intact, or in larger pieces.

 

[MsFacetious]

I'm not sure which would be worse?
To hit the water so hard you died instantly and the plane broke up...
Or to sink to the bottom fully intact but trapped in the plane and drown? :scared:

Could the plane withstand the pressure at that depth? Just a thought. ty

MH370 JACC: Two signals detected on April 5 and another two on April 8, visual search continues in hopes to locate something

JACC Chief at PC on #MH370 :Ocean silt may be thick, makes visual search difficult.

 

[sweetcaro]

Pings have been reacquired twice.
Search area now down to 75,000 square kilometres.
Great effort into visual search into this area.
Still refining location in order to place submersible locater.
Silty bottom in this area, quite thick (1 foot? going by his arm gesture)
Data analysis says pings heard are not from any natural source and that they match that of black box recorders.

I have no idea. Perhaps not, but then if not as it went deeper and broke up pieces would hopefully not break down too small. Wish I knew about this type of stuff!
