Search Leader:  MH370 Black Box Rumors Unfounded!

An Australian search official dismissed reports Friday that the location of the data-recording black boxes on missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 had been found.

If this aircraft landed somewhere, then our govt. has to be in on the conspiracy.

DG is looking better every day.

I have always thought the pilot was heading to Diego Garcia. He was very very angry that his politician was getting horribly embarrassed by the other party. It was obvious that he would be also angry at the country that the other party was a puppet for. I didn’t know whom this country was until they gave the video game to the FBI.

The pilot was on a suicide mission to crash into some B-2s on Diego Garcia. He never made it. He was splashed into the water long before he got there. The rest is a coverup. They may have moved the black boxes to Australia but couldn’t get anyone to find them in time.

Very interesting story here about Co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid. Seems his phone may have checked into a tower at Penang during MH370's flight westward. This was after it had been turned off in Kuala Lumpur prior to MH370's departure.

Of course, that has no bearing on where MH370 is now, but it could have a lot to do with why it is where it is.

As I said earlier today in another post, if that plane went into the drink, there would have been a lot of debris found in the ocean.

So, (Hope I didn’t upset anyone just then), if the plane did indeed go into the ocean, then somebody had to clean up the debris before this whole search thingy could be started off the shores of AussieLand.

If any of this is true, we are looking at the biggest conspiracy since the advent of land war in Asia.

A lot of time elapsed between when the airplane went in and when anybody had any idea of where it went in.

Check this out: qz.com/191465/why-locating-mh370-in-the-southern-ocean-is-so-difficult/

They dropped ten pairs of satellite-tracked buoys into the South Indian Ocean. Each pair started off only 10m apart. "Within days, the buoys within each pair were already at least kilometers apart. Three months later and some of the pairs are now separated by thousands of kilometers."

if the plane did indeed go into the ocean, then somebody had to clean up the debris before this whole search thingy could be started off the shores of AussieLand.

Nope. The floating parts of the wreckage could be anywhere in a huge area by now. The only reason the black boxes have been found, if they've been found, is the extraordinary intelligence of some engineers at Inmarsat in the UK.

Satellites have poured over every square inch of the Indian Ocean over the last 30 or so days. If there was debris out there it would have been found by now. The only reason the black boxes have been found, if they've been found, is the extraordinary intelligence of some engineers at Inmarsat in the UK.

Another story posted on FR today has an Aussie official stating that any information on black box pings is untrue. At this point, the plane being hauled off the ocean floor would be the proof that I would need to see to know that the plane has been found. I will applaud the intelligence of the engineers of Inmarsat when we know definitively that the plane has been found. I hope that we do not come to learn that the Inmarsat folks were not the hand used to occupy our attention while the other hand was doing who knows what?

I have seen this on some pilot forums who say the plane was never seen on satellite...they think it never actually took off.

“The Australian Joint Acoustic Analysis Centre has analysed the acoustic data and confirmed that the signal reported in the vicinity of the Australian Defence Vessel Ocean Shield is unlikely to be related to the aircraft black boxes,” Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston (Ret’d), said...

worth reposting.

I agree. If that plane was on its way to Diego Garcia and we shot it down, we would have to clean up the debris field and dump it somewhere else. That may explain why the US was the only one looking deep into the Indian Ocean while everyone else was still up north. And remember that India stopped their search very early. We didn’t want them looking south of the Maldives.

Aussie PM didn't confirm at all. If the missing plane crashed its ELT should have activated upon impact, the signals would have been picked up by the satellites and the airplanes passing above it.

Pilots routinely monitor 121.5 Mhz even if there were no report of accident nor missing airplane.

Emergency locator beacon transmitting at very low frequency from the ocean floor is impossible after all this time. They should check if the pings being echoed from Paki or Iran!

The ELT attached to the fuselage was likely destroyed on impact.

They only work about 50% of the time anyway according to an Australian study I read..

The ELT also will not work at all if submerged.

An ELT must get it’s antenna out of the water to be heard.

So, despite the fact that there were probably 10 ELTs total on the 777, it’s not unusual at all that none of them were heard.

Modern ELTs use 406Mhz as the primary beacon, and only have a low powered 121.5mhz beacon for local homing.

Why they hear ping and why now they don’t?

Ping might have been generated from a Iranian Kilo spoofing a ping to keep CNN continuously cover speculation about the missing airplane.

Assies said ELT only work about 50% of the time according to their study? I dunno about that. Who are they? Do they manufacture ELT? Nope.

ELTs work only about 50% of the time in crashes on land, and an ELT is the first notice of a crash on land only about 15% of the time.

When everything goes right, they are effective for land crashes.

https://www.atsb.gov.au/publications/2012/ar-2012-128.aspx

The fixed airframe ELT on an airliner is not designed or meant to work in a water landing.

The portable ELTs and the slide/raft ELTs would be expected to be used by survivors.

There are a couple of portable ELTs, and an ELT with each door slide/raft, on a 777, in addition to the fixed airframe ELT.

Had the plane landed successfully somewhere, or successfully ditched, without foul play, we should have heard an ELT.
