After mapping ocean floor, crews renew search for Malaysia Airlines flight 370

[PillowSmoke]

 

I really do hope they find this airplane, since considering we live in the age of technology having a plane of this size being lost all of a sudden is quite weird.

 

Six months ago, Malaysia Airlines flight 370 disappeared with 239 passengers on board after departing from Kuala Lumpur. After an initial frantic search to find the Boeing 777's black boxes before their batteries petered out, rescue crews called off efforts and began a major undertaking to map the seafloor. Now, four months later, those maps are complete, and the search is beginning anew this month as three ships plan to scour the search area for debris by dragging a sensor device just 330 feet (100 meters) above the seabed at a speed of seven miles per hour, according to the Associated Press.

 

The device, known as a towfish, is equipped with sonar to produced detailed imagery of the ocean floor, and they are tethered to the ships with six-mile cables. They also have jet fuel sensors on board, and crews can lift the devices and attach a video camera to investigate regions of particular interest.

 

The first ship is set to reach the search area, in a far-flung, previously unmapped stretch of the south Indian Ocean, tomorrow. Two additional ships, paid for by the Australian government, will join the first Malaysia-provided vessel in a few weeks' time. The search area encompasses a strip of ocean covering some 23,000 square miles. The final satellite pings from the flight led search crews to focus on the area, known as the "seventh arc." Both governments are said to be providing roughly $60 million to aid in the search.

Resumes? When did the search pause?

[dlf]

Is the search for Amelia Earhart still going on?

[techswede]

I still find it very suspicious that a complete boeing 777 just dissapeared

[Sernyhough]

is this still a thing, like seriously...

When you have relatives wanting to recover the bodies of loved ones for closure, you bet your arse it's still a 'thing'.

[Jodomcfrodo]

I seriously think some extremist group like ISIS has it. 

[dizmo]

I wonder how wide the range is for those sensors.

With three ships, in an area that big, you're looking at over a month and a half...provided the sensor can cover an area a mile wide.

I really hope they can find that plane.

Considering sound travels MUCH farther through water than air, it possibly could cover a large area.

 

I for one think there are three posibilities

1. Isis has is

2. It was a tragic mistake, pilot error, mechanical malfunction, pilot suicide

3. Political assassination of some sort, deliberately sent the plane off course or paid the pilot off by promising to take care of his family

Conspiracy Theory: Cage of Eden shit going on here lol.

What about the plane never taking off in the first place? Sounds ludicrous with the news stories but people were arguing whether or not a black hole sucked them up.

I'm a tinfoil hat man, and even I find that ludicrous.

[techswede]

Cage of Eden = shit 

Is what i got out of that. And i'd say it's accurate

Coming from Trik'Stari that is especially crazy.

 

That dude is NUTS

But do we know?

 

DO WE KNOW?!

 

Some people are accepting a Lost scenario at this ponit

[DigitalHermit]

It's aliens... No doubt...

[aom]

now we wait like centuries (my estimate of the time span) years for them to show up off the coast of their destination.

There will be no bodies, fish and other animals have to eat you know, the remains are long gone by now, so this is not a reason to continue the search. They have wasted enough resources trying to find this plane, time to call  it quits and close the book.

[13CA350]

I think it was shot down over Mali and Scrapped

 

Oh, and we never found Amelia Earheart, or Jimmy Hoffa either

[Jaybird]

what if i told you the plane never crashed and that its located at a military base.

The bones might still be there and also the families and authorities need to know what happened. There could be all sort of implications involved in this.

[Jaybird]

Fabulous !

[killcomic]

What if I told you I can see you through your monitor?

 

CONSPIRACY!
