Malaysia Airlines tragedies

My friend William of Occam says that big ocean, small plane, deep water (deeper in parts of the search area than the Bluefin can operate) add up to a more likely explanation than secret airfields capable of handling a 777 (much harder to miss than wreckage in the Southern Ocean) and Bond villain schemes.

I heard he has been taken in for questioning...


On a more serious side, it may take several years to find the remains of the craft. Hopefully this will push for better location tracking, and better black box design. Personally IMO there should be several things that should have been done (in retrospect for avoiding this lengthy search).

1.- There is no reason the plane should not be capable of communicating via SAT and sending out positioning data every few minutes in a separate, secure system that cannot be disconnected without major effort.

2. While flotation is not a great idea for the BB (it would float form the area of wreckage) they could install a package that dispersed a large amount of yellow dye in the water as soon as it becomes exposed, allowing for easier location of the device and wreckage.


I sure there are a thousand more ideas, but that's just what I came with sitting here at my desk while I was watching Pitbull's video, looking for any clues that he may have left for us to find the plane.
 
Personally, I would have been uber shocked if the object that washed onto shore was from flight 370. At this point, I have become very negative. Hoping for the best, but I'm prepared for the worst.

there is no evidence. It was a thought that came out of my brain.


I still need physical evidence that the plane is NOT on the ground somewhere. Don't try and convince people its at the bottom of the ocean, instead prove to people that it is not on the ground somewhere.

I feel like Malaysian Govt has really screwed this up.


As to improvements to Aircraft tracking I totally agree. I can't believe it hasn't been advanced after 9/11. I read one article that real time SAT tracking would cost the airlines too much money or something like that.
 
The problem is that it's impossible to prove a negative.

They did prove mathematically that they had a satellite signal from an area that could have been only over the ocean. They verified the math and the signal method by applying it to other flights.

Following on, they verified that they could a detect a black box pinger in an expected area based on the satellite signals and the math, and verified that several times.

They could pull up the entire plane from the sea floor today and then they couldn't prove that it wasn't planted, or teleported by aliens, or fell through a wormhole, or was sent there by Druid magic.

Because you can't prove a negative.

But you can prove signals exist or have existed and perform valid analysis on them.

When corroborated, and it has been corroborated, it's evidence. It's strength will come out, evidence is merely evidence - but it's still evidence.

This is the same as trusting GPS. Functionally, the steps are not materially different.

And that's the basis for expecting the plane to not only be underwater, but somewhere in the general search vicinity.

Everything is always "too expensive" until it becomes more expensive/embarrassing not to. I remember car manufacturers arguing here in the UK that the reason they had such cruddy door locks was that people wouldn't pay the extra for decent ones (an extra 0.1

The data from the satellite pings indicated that the plane did fly into this area of the Indian Ocean. When the pings stopped, it coincided with the apporximate distance the plane could have flown with the amount of fuel it had on board. There is no land anywhere near the last possible location of the plane for it to actually reach some land. There isn't any evidence I have seen that would make it possible for this plane to reach land somewhere and not end up somewhere in the ocean.

I think the Malaysian Government majorly screwed up the communications. They said some things that turned out to be wrong and that really undermined the credibility of any further announcements they have made. This really angered a lot of people, especially those who have loved ones on that plane. I really can't blame the victims' families for their anger.

Airlines have been really cutting back on anything they can in the past decade to squeeze any savings within the airline or squeeze more money from passengers. Spending some bucks for real time tracking is not something any airline is really going to justify. As with a number of changes in aviation standards, it takes a tragedy and huge public outcry before something is done. It is possible that this disappearance will result in the political will to make live tracking of a plane's status become a standard.
 
Can I ask why are they keeping people locked down from speaking to the press . it was said that a group of people are being held in a location to avoid talk to the press
 
I finally found something worse than me at teasing with breaking news. CNN. Shameless.
