Speaking selfishly, it's good training hours for sailors of the Royal Australian Navy, and airmen of the Royal Australian Air Force. It's also helping to remind the world that Australia does still have a capable and functioning military (of course, I'd love for it to be far more capable than it is - we should have an aircraft carrier deploying down there, but a previous government got rid of that capability, and once you lose it getting it back is a problem).
I hope they find something for the sake of those who are waiting for news.
Thanks for you highly trained observation
As I understand, the last pings being registered on the satellite tracking system had the airplane going away from the Equator. It has not shown up, landed or crashed, in any country to the north nor have they apparently detected it on any of their radar records to the north so the probability lies with it being the opposite direction which is the south Indian Ocean.
It would be great if there was some sonar equipment or something that can be used to see underwater so they can see if there is a plane down there. It would be horrible for the families if the plane is down there and they just stop searching and it turns out that’s where its laying.
I think they’re just wasting time looking around in the waters. Ex El Al expert said “Iran likely involved.” Two Iranian nationals carried stolen passports, we all know that. But Interpol and FBI said there may be five Quds aboard the missing plane. Why don’t they start looking down around Iran?
Did you see the article on drudge where a woman in another plane saw the 777 in water below. No one would listen to her. After she landed her family told her about the missing plane and she filed a police report.
I am wondering if there was a ‘ Lets Roll’ moment on that plane.
We will never know if some brave souls saved others from a great disaster.
anyone have a link to the spooky Chinese/GRU theory?
Agree. We have carriers. They should send one down. It’s such a remote place on the earth. They need some kind of base out in the middle of the search area
It’s tough waters down there to find anything but the Arc of the Last Ping put its last location there and that has been the most solid piece of evidence in this whole thing.
They have two more weeks to find the orange box before it quits pinging — so hopefully they give it atleast that.
And when it is all over everyone should send the bill for the SAR to Malaysia.
Easy solution............hire Tattoo
Has anybody explained why there has been no ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) heard from a supposedly crashed airplane?
