Malaysian Boeing 777 goes missing

Its in the oggin

Jeez, do you work for a tabloid?

I made an observation but it was most likely incorrect. I remember problems with Boeing 737s regarding faults in the aircraft(I do watch Air Crash Investigation) which seem to have been improved massively and wondered if there could be an underlying problem here?

I have just read about 10 pages in a tabloid all pointing to a terror attack yet nothing has been confirmed so a design fault cannot be completely ruled out. Nor can many other things either.

ACARS data is suggesting that there was a fire onboard.

While it probably seemed like a good idea at the time, it can get cold on those flights. It has proved to be a fatal mistake.

They're not going to find it, are they ?

 

MH370: Last ship departs to search for missing Malaysian aircraft

The one remaining ship still looking for missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370 has begun what is likely to be its final search.
Dutch-owned Fugro Equator left the Australian port of Fremantle on Monday.
Several ships have combed the seabed of a vast search area in the Indian Ocean since the plane disappeared in 2014.
The Fugro Equator is expected to finish scouring the final portion of the search area by early 2017.
Officials say they will suspend the search if the plane is not found by then.
Not a single piece of wreckage or any clues to the whereabouts of the plane have been found so far by the operation.

"It has been an heroic undertaking but we have to prepare ourselves for the prospect that we may not find MH370 in the coming weeks, although we remain hopeful," Australian Transport Minister Darren Chester told the West Australian newspaper.
Several countries including Australia and China have taken part in the underwater search.
Earlier this month the Chinese vessel Dong Hai Jiu 101 completed its mission and is returning to Shanghai, leaving the Fugro Equator as the last ship scouring the vast 120,000 sq km (46,332 sq miles) search area.
Whether the Fugro Equator's voyage is the ship's final month-long deployment would depend on the weather, the office of Mr Chester told AP news agency.

MH370 was carrying 239 people when it disappeared en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur. Many of the passengers were Chinese.
Last week family members of some passengers journeyed to Madagascar to look for clues on the ship's whereabouts.
A few aeroplane fragments confirmed to be from MH370 had been found by members of the public on the East African and Madagascan coasts in recent months.
The location of the debris is in line with drift modelling patterns based on the theory that MH370 went down in a part of the Indian Ocean near Australia.
The families have expressed frustration at the lack of concrete evidence turned up by the official search, and have called for a coordinated effort to search beaches for debris.

It's still in the drink

[General Dryness]

It's in the kinks.

 

No, wait a second, I was thinking of Ray Davies.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

It's in Tony's drink.

 

No wait, I'm thinking of his custard creams being dunked.

[Anubis]

The Martians have it.

Yaya Toure has pledged to join the search in the hope to find clues into how he too ended up mysteriously on the drink.

Walking in the shadow of the Valley of Neg there!

That part of the world and the encircling of China. Diego Garcia it does look dodgy.

I mentioned a popular sportspersons recent driving conviction, so I can't possibly understand what you are referring to?

Sadly it is looking that way. Even if the aircraft had of stayed intact, finding it at the supposed depths of the ocean in the search area would be nigh on impossible. Judging by the pieces found so far, it's likely it is in similar sized pieces scattered over a very large area.

 

It has highlighted the fact that pilots can disable aricraft tracking too easily. Im not sure if this has or is being addressed.

[Josef Svejk]

At least that British company, the name of which escapes me, maximised it's publicity at the time. With its exclusive access to/analysis of data.

 

I called it at the time. Which must be very reassuring for the families of those imprisoned on Diego Garcia.

[Josef Svejk]

Inmarsat.

 

Those were the fucking parasites...

3 days. I definitely reckon they made sonar contact with Godzilla. It's still on.

Mmmmm

Never mind Malaysian Boeing 777, whatever happened to the poster known as Jimmy Case? 

[Bjornebye]

Why do they always refer to them as 'souls' on-board whenever a plane crashes/gets snatched out the sky by Godzilla. Just call them people or punters. Fucking souls.
