Malaysian Boeing 777 goes missing

[Guest davelfc]

I find it inconceivable that after so much time not one single piece of wreckage has been found. This signal they supposedly picked up and then decided it wasn't from the plane, have they said what it was from ? I thought the broadcast frequency  was unique to black boxes.

I read somewhere that signals travelling through water over distances can vary frequency quite a bit. This might be why they locked on to something that was actually not the black box at all. Given the area they're having to cover I'd be amazed if they ever found it.

You could say it was sheer bad luck that the plane drastically changed course to fly in the total opposite direction undetected for at least 7 hours and then crash in the deepest and probably remotest part of the ocean anywhere.

The news here have been reporting that a large oil slick has been found in the areas where the Australians have been concentrating their search. They're going to launch a mini-sub here to look into this further, and scan the location.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

You'd have thought they'd have started the sonar scanning as soon as they triangulated the position. IF they ever find it, it will take months.

Can't just trawl the whole area.....similar to how they did to prove the Loch Ness monster didn't exist but on a much larger scale?

[Carvalho Diablo]

The Loch Ness Monster ? Now there's a thought...

Were there Italians on the flight?

 

Too soon?

[Russ Atmosphere]

Nessie got out, then ate plane. It's already more believable than some of the theories in this thread.

That location is where the plane would have run out of fuel- there would be no large oil slick.

It burnt off all the hydraulic oil as well did it?

[Guest davelfc]

Just how much oil was there on this plane, after splooshing in to the sea and with the storms I wouldn't think much would be left. if there was then surely so little it would be like a drop in the....

To be fair even though it would have hydraulic oil as well.

How much would you need to create a large oil slick in the middle of a huge ocean, that sees extreme weather and huge waves, and what chance it will be  there for 5 weeks.

Sounds strange to me, the only time you see large oil slicks in the ocean is usually from tankers that have had a problem and spilled millions of gallons into the drink

Beat me to it....

[chrisbonnie]

Cue tomorrow's news of, "oil slick from missing plane was really 2 jellyfish riding each other" the plane was shot down fucking miles from there. It's as plain to see as the nose on your face.

If it had shit loads of oil on-board the yanks would have had a fleet of submarines searching for it. 

[Bjornebye]

Its in the drink

There's an oil slick there - the Australian's have taken a 2 litre sample. How big it is  - the oil slick itself - I've no idea.

[Carvalho Diablo]

If the plane did run out of fuel over the ocean then it would have been smashed to fucking pieces upon impact. Many of those pieces would float, so how come any of them still haven't been found after all this time and after the intensity of this search ?

 

No way does a jumbo jet crash at sea and remain completely intact. No chance.

[Fugitive]

It's at the bottom of the wave pool in Rhyl Sun Centre.

 

Godzilla put it there.

Fucking hell, no wonder it's not been found.

Would.

From all reports, the airline says it "believes that 85-90% of all travellers using our service are of the female gender."

 

It has been lovingly referred to as "the Dolphin" and the airline has confirmed that they have fielded requests for the addition of an extra tail-wing halfway up their aircraft in customers hopes that the battery operated toy model replica due out just before Xmas will carry these new add-ons.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Have you ever seen one of those flying? Shit looks weird.
