Malaysian Flight Missing

[Jack]

Sick of the speculation. I really don't give a rats patooty!

 

[Larry L.]

What's REALLY irritated the stuffings outta me for several days now is the fact the T.V. media has been grinding, and grinding, and grinding on this story 24/7 since day-one. 'SAME "FACTS"...hour after hour, day after day, after day, after day. ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!

Unless and until you (the media) have some REALLY NEW >REALLY IMPORTANT< info to tell us (like the fact soneone has actually FOUND the darned plane for instance) - SHUDDUP ALREADY.

All this hashing and rehashing, hashing and rehashing WAS OLD ABOUT 7 DAYS AGO.

I'm dunn ranting now...

 

[Jack]

Larry, see my post above!

 

[Keith]

Prole feed.

This goes to the credibility of our media. It's pathetic. Putin could invade Poland and we'd only hear crap like this:
From ghostly to generic, theories grow in missing Malaysia Flight 370 - CNN.com

 

[Keith]

They got no oil reserves in Poland Pat, so not a lot of interest. Now, more fracking downtown do you think?

It's official - it's down. :thumbsdown:

I'm betting that, after this, there'll BE NO MORE "opting out" of the monitoring services of that new flight data/GPS/coarse-n-speed/altitude reporting "BLUE BOX" thing that would have instantly told officials where the plane was. The box goes for $100K a pop installed.

You watch...

Maybe, no hard evidence yet. I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[Jim Rosenthal]

They found the Air France plane, but it took two years. As I recall. They will probably find this one, too. Poor souls.

I think they would have to be certain to go in front of the World's Press and announce it. Wouldn't they?

I think that was an amazing bit of work considering the search area....

 

[Jack]

Well, no. As I understand, something was spotted from the air in the search area, not recovered or identified.

 

[Keith]

The Immarsat data analysis concludes that the plane was in the area of that debris.

 

[Jack]

Yeah, but until something is recovered that is identifiable from that aircraft it is still speculation. Lot's of junk floating and gathered around the roaring 40's.

 

[Keith]

It's there. I reckon they have identified a part of a shipping container.

 

[Robert May Eng.]

I thought all aircraft had a box that emitted a signal that was traceable even if it was pitched in the sea.

[Keith]

Not when it's at the bottom of a rather deep ocean and it has a finite life - about 2 weeks I understand but first they have to get within range. They did find the Air France flight eventually - took them 2 years.

Hopefully some of our pilots can answer a couple questions.

If the "pilot" or whoever did this... could turn off the transponder, could they also turn off the "black Box" cockpit recorder, is it possible that even if they found it it might not have any pertinant data?

If they could turn off the "Black Box", would the "crash" locator still transmit?
