239 Feared Dead on Malaysia Airlines

I don't know if I believe in the planted black box theory either.....my point just being that I have no idea what to believe any more. There are pilots who fly (or have flown) those planes saying that even if the cockpit transponders were turned off manually....the engines each have individual transponders on them that can not be shut off (by design). They said it's all BS and it is simply impossible to lose a plane like that anywhere on the planet these days under any circumstances. So....if that's true....

 

That's what the pilot said from mi who used to fly those planes and those routes a lot. Impossible to lose it in the first place...

 

I had some faith in the industry being an aviation fan of sorts. However this is 1/2 way around the world and my country really isnt that involved in the recovery efforts.

 

"One of the most promising leads yet..."

Don't we have one of those at least twice a week?

They've lost the signal and are trying to pick it back up again as I type this.

Last I heard, they said the signal was almost 3 miles down and the batteries should be about depleted by now, even if they were fully charged on take-off.

If they do find it in time, they have a robot camera sub ready to launch that can get pics that deep down.

 

And now the Aussies claim they got it back.

But I wouldn't hold my breath. That is very deep water.

 

They keep filling in, back-tracking with "new" info.

Pretty heavy technology spy thing but there was some pretty interesting points

 

Planes don't just "go missing"

Someone who has lots of power and money, wanted one or more passengers on that plane to be erased from the planet. And that's what most likely happened.

BEIJING (AP) June 11, 2014 — About two dozen relatives of Chinese passengers on the missing Malaysia Airlines flight demanded more information at a Beijing building that houses the airline's regional office on Wednesday, more than three months after the plane disappeared en route to the city.

Under the tight watch of at least a dozen Chinese police and several building employees, the relatives were kept from entering the office building.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is thought to have crashed in the southern Indian Ocean on March 8 with 239 passengers and crew on board, but a seabed search has found no trace of the plane.

"Please give us the truth and tell us the right way to find our beloved ones," said Dai Shuqin, whose sister was on the plane with her husband, daughter, son-in-law and grandchild. "It has been extremely hard for us, and we can't take it anymore."

I cannot even imagine being in Dai Shuqin's shoes.......or any of the family and friends wondering what happened to their loved ones.....

It took awhile but now that part of the wing has been recovered other debris has begun washing ashore.

Seat cushions and window panes have been found on an Indian Ocean island where wreckage from MH370 was recovered, Malaysia's transport minister said Thursday.

"We have also found debris like window panes, aluminium foil and seat cushions," Liow Tiong Lai told AFP.

Liow, who later specified he was referring to aircraft seats and windows, said it remained to be seen whether the items found on Reunion Island were debris from the missing Malaysian Airlines flight.
They are little parts, but the debris cannot be verified if it belongs to MH370. It has to be verified by the French authorities," he said.

Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak earlier on Thursday ended a 17-month wait for verified physical evidence from the plane when he announced that a team of international experts had confirmed that a wing component found on Reunion last week was from MH370.

The jet disappeared on March 8 last year, inexplicably veering off course en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.

The disappearance created one of the biggest mysteries in the history of aviation, sparking a colossal hunt in the Indian Ocean based on satellite data that hinted at MH370's possible path.
