The Frogs already have one of their nuke attack subs on station (the Emeraude). This flavor of sub tends to have pretty good “ears”, and they’ve the time and inclination to listen for those pingers. I guess we’ll see.

“Those people on that plane were murdered.”

Do you wish that this was true, or do you know that it is true?

There is a difference.

  What would be the point of downing an airliner if you didn't get to take credit for it and/or demonstrate your grievances?

Just my opinion, worth exactly what you paid for it. If I had firsthand knowledge of this might I not be a fool to hang around here and brag about it?

My gut tells me something is rotten with this crash.

Yeah. I gotta’ admit that it does give me kinda’ a crawly feeling. But there’s so many other likely scenarios, like Airbus design philosophy, that could be just as dangerous.

Guess we’ll see.

Wanna bet it was the two “veterinarians” from Morocco and their assistant?

There’s the problem with doing a valid ID on these folks. Their all named Mohammed. It’s not like Al Qaida gives them badges with ID numbers.

They'll probably have to do some kind of background check on these guys to see if their backgrounds match with what the investigators know about the terrorist's backgrounds. They can either rule them out or not.

Thanks RobinMasters for the post, and Army Air Corps for the Ping.

The latest news is that French super high tech submarines are exploring the area of the crash remains.

The Sub is equipped with a mini sub that can explore all the nooks and crannies in the deepest water. The Sub is equiped with Sonar tuned to the frequency of the pings emitted by the Black boxes.

Hope and pray they find them. This is looking more and more ominous with every passing day.
