Almost time for the 777 "reproduction" seats and head lockers to be miraculously located and fished out of the ocean?
THIS should PROVE to all conspiracy theorists that MH370 disintegrated and crashed!

The US is probably like most other nations with satellite and radar capabilities.

They not only do not want to give away what their hi tech can do, they don't want other nations knowing what it CANT do.

Thats exactly right. Someone beit it individual, company, government, or intelligence agency knows what happened to it. They know where it landed/crashed/ditched and will not say to keep their satellite and tracking capabilities unknown.

You cant get away with picking your nose anywhere in the world these days, and every government & intelligence agency boasts about how they can track anything to any four corners on the planet but not one peep has been made by anyone of them over this.

So either the are lying out of their @$$ when they say this, or are too selfish to come forward.

I bet it was mistakenly shot down. It's just all too suss.

Why is it the black box tracking gear was only deployed on a ship disembarking yesterday??? When they found all that 'debris' I would think a big priority would be to deploy the tracking device while also searching for debris. I find all news reports on this to be incredibly irritating to listen to, they are just bullshitting us and it's blatantly obvious. also why did they announce the plane without a doubt went down and everyone died? They found bugger all. Whos to say they even have half the info they are telling us? Who's to say theyre telling the truth at all? Im no conspiracy theorist at all, but i am a skeptic. There is definitely something they arent telling us IMO.

The tracking gear had to come from america and we only got it over the weekend. And yes, it was so wrong to announce everyone is dead, and now to say there may be survivors. Never seen such haphazard reporting and official mis-information on any other story.

Biggest news story in a few years and the 24/7 news industry is desperate to fill the pages, airwaves, internet with something else that nobody else has, to break the new news to rate higher then the other station, channel, website to in essence make more money.

When nobody knows what’s going on as there are few new facts the news industry must keep feeding the machine so, re-reports from a different angle, analyses of the known facts with a new expert, interviews with ever more spurious witnesses or 'experts' or make stuff up to attract the reader/listener/watcher.

Its timely that Alain deBotton like or loath him has written 'The News: A User's Manual' as it asks the reader to assess the role 'news' plays in our society, he challenges the status quo of news and our relationship with it.

I wonder if its occurred to all the Governments and expert analysis, that the longer the search goes on without finding any MH370 physical evidence, the more likelihood is that the wreckage/plane may not be in the South Indian Ocean.

Malaysia Airlines MH370: Orange objects confirmed as fishing equipment

Four orange items considered "the most promising leads" yet in the search for MH370 are in fact fishing equipment, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) has confirmed.

I'm leaning towards the same conclusion. The thousands of people hours, dozens of planes / ships / satellites scouring the area and the millions already spent to so far not find 1 bit of solid physical evidence.

Crazy....

But then all the 'experts' will be wrong...




Iirc they narrowed it down to a southward arc and a northward arc that it would have traveled, one put the plane in the middle of nowhere with zip fuel, the other had it flying over dozens of landing opportunities including countries that would probably quite like a giant missile like a 777...

Sure seems logical to me that someone would hijack a planeful of passengers, fly round to avoid radar coverage then bugger off out into the middle of the Indian ocean for a sight seeing tour... Totally legit.

Remember JFK's "magic bullet" which Oswald fired which apparently defied physics with its trajectory and ability to harm multiple people. Recent analysis suggests that a secret service agent in his haste to protect JFK from further harm accidentally discharged his weapon which then fatally hit JFK. The magic bullet suited the needs of the secret service to cover up their incompetence - I don't think anyone would disagree that there's been incompetence dished out in spades during the dribble of news re MH370. For example, for this theory to be plausible it would mean Malaysia allowing an unidentified aircraft to fly unchallenged right through it's airspace?

This is totally an amazing event still no news but from reading news posts and such it looks like a number of changes are going to be made world wide in the management and monotoriing of civilian aircraft and other new protocols regarding pilots .

If any thing they all seem to be of the mind this sort of thing cannot ever happen again .

so will this just be talk or will action be taken to make make sure this sort of even never happens only time will tell

but what do you think is this retoric or will it happen??

The black box only has 2 hours of cockpit voice recordings in it so it won't tell us much. The other black box (flight data recorder) records the likes of heading, speed, height etc so isn't going to tell us much that we don't already know anyway.

If it was deliberate, could it be the perfect crime?
