Flight MH370

[j2k4]

A 777 doesn't just disappear without a trace...

Crazy in this day and age.

We have yet to exhaust our collective efforts to get to the bottom of things, but at some point, if we remain stymied, the authorities - the Malaysians, presumably - will have to consider whether it is prudent to continue the search.

The willingness/ability of other nations to further extend themselves would eventually die off; the propriety of other entities' ongoing efforts may be questionable.

What we are seeing at the moment has an element of disbelief that, with all of our safeguards and redundancies (the various ways the plane communicates/reports to the ground), things which were not, incidentally, common knowledge - we are not able to locate the plane via technology.

If we don't find the plane/solve the dilemma pretty quick, the 'treasure-hunting' contingent (privateers, quite probably) will go to work, one assumes, but under what auspices?

If the proper authorities can't find the plane, what sort of oversight will they be able/obligated to provide?

I certainly don't see private parties being allowed to proceed without this, and if we may speculate that if this 'waiting for the furor to die down' is part of some grand scheme, the remaining interested parties may be assumed to have been part of whatever original plan may have existed.

Conspiracy, anyone?

I think the pilots confronted the passengers and said hey we are going to part out this plane... we will split it 239 ways if you keep quiet.

Somewhat reminiscent of the Craig Button A-10 incident that happened back in 1997. It took 3 weeks to find that aircraft and it happened on American soil.

I just read up on that. I don't remember that, though I was 16 in '97 so I wasn't following the news to much then. haha

Crazy read, and I do see the similarities.

I'm still confused how they can say "We know the plane crashed here, but we don't know where it is". A tiny bit contradictory to me, like saying "I know you killed this guy, even though I don't know where the other guy is, where you were, or what you used to do it".

Sounds like they are just trying to give closure to the families. I doubt it crashed there, I haven't seen any strong evidence

One of the things I read is that in that area of the Indian Ocean it is as deep as 7,000 meters. That's around 23,000 feet deep.
