***, what an unreal mystery this is turning out to be. The families must be so tormented.

[ChillDoubt]

It has lurched almost sadistically from one sighting/false report to another.
What happened a few weeks ago when it was decided categorically that it had crashed off the west coast of Australia and that there were 122 pieces of debris found via satellite?

I know there's a lot of ambiguity in the link but it was directly after that report that statements were made that the plane had definitely met its end there or there abouts.

It's perplexing in the extreme and after this amount of time in those seas the debris field must have spread beyond imagination.

[Prudie]

it'a almost cliched to ignore the sightings of 'villagers' as though they lived in a different era and thought lights in the sky were some kind of fire gods. Terrible, the conspiracists will be having a field day.

[DrFilth]

what happened to the black box pings that they detected ?

They stopped, DrF, didn't they? - they only run for approx 30 days and the batteries would have run out?

[DrFilth]

boxy if they picked up the signals the plane must be in that location ?

[sandyRoe]

Why would the searchers think that the plane might have landed?

[DrFilth]

sandy think that is to do with villagers reporting a large aircraft with loud noisy engines and landing lights on flying low over their village soon after the plane went missing

[Prudie]

Plus they never definitively proved that any of the recent pings actually came from the plane.

Prudie....those "pings " were compatible with the "pings" of a black box from a similar aircraft.
I can't imagine that there are many of those on the bottom of the Indian Ocean.

Maybe he threw it out :-)

[Sqad]

LOL....never thought of that Miss Marple.

[DrFilth]

this explains about the pings

[Prudie]

All very sensible Dr F but if it's so cut and dried why even print a story like this?

[Peter Pedant]

There was some poor mad professor who couldnt get air time
and his idea was that

if the aircraft landed or glided ( automatically ) on to a still sea then it wold go glug glug glug in ONE piece and there would be no debris

and everyone apparently said - on no that cant happen, dont be stupid

[Canary42]

Let's face it - the black box will no longer be transmitting so the chances now of finding the plane or its wreckage are infinitessimally small. Needle in haystack compares favourably in fact.

[ChillDoubt]

Not sure about that PP, surely there'd still be a fair amount of debris IMHO, as this video bears out:

according to that map, the search area is 5,700 feet off the coast of Perth. That's about a mile. I can only suppose they must mean in depth?

[cassa333]

I saw a film many years ago, I think it was called Millenium or something like that and had (again) I think, Jodie Foster in it.

It was about people coming back from the future to collect groups of people that were about to die in crashes and take them to the future to be sent back in time to (or possibly forward in time) to repopulate the world after we knackered it.


They took all the people off a flight (that for them was historicaly about to crash) and replaced them with bodies of similar people so that when the reckage was found they thought everyone died.

For some reason this reminds me of that film!!!

Jno "according to that map, the search area is 5,700 feet off the coast of Perth. That's about a mile. I can only suppose they must mean in depth?"

It's not in Perth, I have just had a look out of the window and can't see it.

:-)


It is a very strange situation ~ is there any solid proof that there really was a plane?
