Malaysia airlines plane may have crashed 239 people on board #3

I don't see any that say boarding on them.... :waitasec:
Anything is possible of course... it just looks more like a plane raft to me.

course- we are looking at 2013-2014 rafts... the plane was built in 2002:facepalm:

Another plane that totally disappeared off of radar....
It took more than 10 days to find the FIRST piece of the plane.
Then they spent 7 months deciding who would PAY to find the rest! :scared:
Then they didn't recover it all... just the black boxes, leaving the plane in the ocean.

A week after an Adam Air flight carrying 102 people vanished over Indonesian waters on January 1, 2007, an Indonesian navy ship detected metal on the ocean floor.
But it would take another two weeks for the US Navy to pick up signals from the flight data and cockpit recorders, and seven months for the boxes to be recovered. The fuselage remains on the ocean floor, and Adam Air is now defunct.

The Malaysian Airlines jet could be less of a challenge than the Adam Air crash in one respect: It was last tracked over much shallower water.

08.12 According to our correspondent in Kuala Lumpur, The press are now reassembling for government press conference about search operations. We hope it will start in 20 minutes, at 4.30pm local time.

Quote There is one report that fishermen in Port Dickson, which is a beach resort around 55 miles from Kuala Lumpur found what they believed to be a life raft around 10 nautical miles from the coast yesterday.

The yellow "raft" had the word "BOARDING" written on it and is pictured here. It reportedly sunk before it could be brought ashore.

However, Malcolm Moore in Beijing says it is a red herring - the plane has grey not yellow life rafts and this one looks like it has been in the water a long time.

Who LOSES a life raft worth several thousand dollars?
It's not a toy boat, or logs, it's a $6,000+ life raft! :dunno:

re: B777 "life rafts"

the slides that open and inflate are also used as life rafts on these jets

usually grey: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=boeing+777+evacuation+slide&qs=ds&form=QBIR

But we do not know what Malaysian air does.

boeing would ship the 777's to M air... with the standard slides already in place i think... ?

Missing Malaysia Airlines plane's legal limbo hampers probe

Kuala Lumpur: Investigators trying to solve the disappearance without trace of a Malaysia Airlines jetliner face an extremely rare challenge that could hinder their efforts: they lack the powers of a formal air safety investigation.

Four days after Flight MH370 went missing in mid-air with 239 people on board, no nation has stepped forward to initiate and lead an official probe, leaving a formal leadership vacuum that industry experts say appears unprecedented.

Malaysian officials are conducting their own informal investigations, in cooperation with other governments and foreign agencies, but they lack the legal powers that would come with a formal international probe under UN-sanctioned rules

A senior official familiar with the preliminary Malaysian probe said Malaysian authorities could not yet convene a formal investigation due to a lack of evidence on where - namely, in which national jurisdiction - the Boeing 777-200ER jet crashed.

I'm more inclined to believe it since it comes with a picture. :banghead:

Since the pic was available I thought why not, but don't bang your head so hard, that could cause permanent damage! :biggrin:
