oooooohh.....A boat?

 

 

Anybody know what this is?

[Intervalence]

I saw this too! I couldn't really work out what it was either, I just marked it as other just to be safe. 

[notaniel101]

well 1600 tiles later and all I found was a couple of boats and a thing that looks alot like what the above poster has a picture of

Shall we take a moment of silence for poor @Dr_Orpington

But..... there is no debris, it either has swept by all the military radars of the many countries its near by, or China accidentally blew it up and is hiding all evidence. 

[EpicGeekonFire]

I don't understand how a flight just goes missing in 2014. 

It doesn't, when a country says they didn't see something in their general area, they are lieing. China's accident of releasing satellite images is not a coincidence. 

[PillowSmoke]

This kind of incident was quite weird, considering that we're living in the 21st century. Where the technology age of evolution has been taking it's drastic changes throughout the course of 20 years. What are your thoughts and speculations on this?

[ForsakenLive]

Maybe it's not about technology failing and it's about a human mistake.

I'm just extremely dumbfounded why they would have a button to turn off gps tracking like right in the middle of the instrument panel lol Like atleast put it somewhere that isn't so freaking obvious lol

Yeah, so trained pilots won't know how to do that. Another story about some mystery flight to keep news pages filled with shit while more important shit happens on 2 ends of the world. Just like JB

I think:

 

Terrorists hijacked the plane, turned off the GPS tracking, took the plane where they wanted to, and are probably going to ransom them or test weapons on them.

[Lyons]

The technology we have may be modern but the technology on the plane is 20 years old.

 

I think the plane was simply hijacked, all communication was turned off and then the plane flew until it ran out of fuel or was crashed just prior. Hijackers don't have a record of being all that intelligent and I wouldn't be surprised if the plane is at the bottom of the Indian Ocean now.

[mr moose]

maybe the US government thought snowden was onboard  :huh:

It's not GPS it's called a Transponder. 

 

It reports the aircraft's, altitude, heading, speed, and callsign to ATC. IE Speedbird178. Speedbird is British Airways Callsign,178 is the flight number.

 

Airbus has a system onboard some of their planes that will report its coordinates based off of the aircraft's INS every 5 minutes to a satellite. If the INS is wrong or was set incorrectly before takeoff then the information transmitted will be wrong. Most airlines will cruise at Mach 0.84 and in 5 minutes can cover alot of ground, now amplify that with incorrect INS locations reported and it becomes very hard to find a single airliner.

Well after this many days its not looking good, this also is proving to us that the great government spy satellite cameras pointed at earth are BS, well much like the security cams we have in the average store, they need to be on, pointed in the right direction and where the images go there needs to be disk space.

Cool idea but you have to click on each individual tile to load it

You can zoom in all/almost all the way and then use your arrow keyes

It feels quite weird to have an airliner get lost in 2014, when every single phone / other computer-like device can be tracked (nearly) anywhere at any time and when spying satellites orbiting the earth are capable of reading newspaper's text from space... For some reason this smells like bullsh*t for me...

 

I can easily be wrong (and most likely will be wrong), but my bet goes on every country's governments who could easily know everything about it (like US, Russia, China etc.) lying to the public. I think they could be hiding lots of information about this flight from the public.

[Calavera]

After looking at 500-ish pieces I figured out I was looking at a nice sheet of clouds - well at least it aint flying.  :mellow:

I hate how stupid this site is, its purpose is awesome but I cant vote on other people, cant see where I am actually looking (where on earth)

Your phone can be tracked to I believe 2Metres away

[Ruostunut kokis]

Still accurate enough and it could be more accurate than 2 meters. Not so sure about other terms of tracking, but GPS tracking is very accurate, but only militaries and govts. can use them on their full potential, while civilians get varying accuracy from ~5 meters off to few kilometers off course.
