#MH370 BREAKING: Australia Air Chief Marshal Says Have Now Detected Four Signals in Same Area

WSJ Asia ‏@WSJAsia 1m

Breaking: Australia says four signals found, not at point of deploying submersible in Flight 370 search. #MH370 http://on.wsj.com/MVzjtD

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

That article is very deceptive and deceiving. They use the words "link" and "match" and make it seem like their is some secret code connecting the black box signal to the final handshake with MA370. The only connection (and the word they leave out) is "location". Obviously the final handshake was an ingredient that went into the formula that brought the searches to the area. The story is not news. It is what we in the northern hemisphere call "media spin". And the only difference that I can see between northern hemisphere media spin and southern hemisphere media spin, is that northern hemisphere media spin goes clockwise, and southern hemisphere media spin goes counterclockwise.

Oh, and by the way, I don't think you are crazy!

Angus Houston: "Further encouraging information" in the hunt for #MH370. The Ocean Shield has picked up 2 more signals, now 4 in same area.

Houston: we are now searching a much more concentrated area, with much tighter search patterns. #MH370

Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston says there has now been 4 detections. He says he is confident they are searching in the right place #MH370

Ocean silt may be thick making visual search difficult; completely noiseless environment also necessary for search: #JACC

 

[Amee]

Chief at PC #MH370 :The more detections we get, the better; also important is quality of the detections.

Angus Houston: Very fortunate to be picking up signals given that black box batteries are not 3 days past sell by date. #MH370

JACC: Underwater vehicles took 20 days to get to Air France wreckage

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:

Neither sounds like a great choice, I would have go with death on impact though. I have thought about the other option a lot and it just gives me the shivers and makes me hope that this is not what happened. I was actually wondering last night, would you have drowned before losing conciousness. Depends on how fast it would sink. I really hope once recorders are recovered we are able to get firmer answers as to what happened at all stages of flight. I know the 45,000 flight level early on is not confirmed, but part of me hopes it is true, and that it meant passengers and crew passed early on, so they did not have to live through those rest of the flight (this would assume one person remained alive using oxygen until descending once they achieved their aim with hypoxia).

Houston - I'm now optimistic we'll find what's left of the aircraft. But we need hard evidence, visual sighting.

 

[Amee]

JACC: Hopefully we will find something in a "matter of days" using acoustic detection in the Indian Ocean. #MH370LIVE

Australia's navy commodore Peter Leavey: P-3 aircraft today deploying sonar buoys.

Very difficult, very challenging search; silt may complicate search - it may be tens of metres thick: #JACC

This article has a great image in relation to depth/location of black box.

#MH370 search: We're not putting our eggs in one basket, we're continuing with our other activities http://bit.ly/1e98HC8

 

[CARIIS]

Done a couple of times (ANA/ US AIR) But really hard to ditch in water on an aircraft that has wing mounted engines they tend t hit before the rest and pull stuff off or down in crooked manner

Is that possible? Can a 777 just glide in?

That image has ran through my head.

JACC's Houston notes "submarines have limitations on how deep they can dive" and nations keep that info classified. #MH370

 

[Amee]

Quite possible that currents may have disturbed debris: #JACC commodore #MH370

 

[Archangel7]

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

No. Not much can.

 

[PrairieWind]

No question that Australia chose well when they put this man in charge of the search. Very smart man, very confident and a very good communicator.

#MH370 JACC: Weak signals detected possibly means black box batteries are dying

 

[Amee]

The underwater vehicle moves at walking speed. It would take weeks to cover this current search area: #JACC chief #MH370

@ABCNews24 32s

Angus Houston: I don't think we are far away from deploying the autonomous underwater vehicle #MH370

would you have drowned before losing conciousness.

Its a myth that most die from impact! Most die after impact , in fire, from fumes of toxins that burn in the plane.



Surprisingly, you're much more likely to walk away from an airline accident than you are to perish. In fact, a staggering 95.7 percent of people involved in plane crashes survive. Even in the most serious class of crashes, more than 76 percent survive [source: NTSB]

Survivors of deadly crashes are more likely to be those seated within five rows of an exit -- any further, and the odds of survival decrease dramatically. In the rare event that you're involved in a crash, 35 to 40 percent of your ability to evacuate safely comes down to being prepared and alert

80 percent of crashes occur during the first three minutes of takeoff or the last eight minutes before landing
