Not yet I did hear that the mermaids was having papa johns pizza party with the passengers and crew in the black hole in the Indian ocean .
Mr Goodfellow's theory has already been shot down (no pun intended) by several others more familiar with the 777 and/or current flight safety protocols.
Re the Captain's home simulator: that is nothing extraordinary. He was/is widely known amongst the sim community. I've known several folk myself, both civilian and military pilots, with even more complex setups.

I've stopped watching CNN over a decade ago for various reasons. I see that it's actually gone downhill since then. I guess they must have talked about the danger of mini-black holes when the LHC was close to finding the Higgs boson. I remember hearding talk about this back then, but I didn't know what the source was.
It's not helping when people come up with wild, uneducated theories that make no sense and then have supposed experts make comments about these theories that also make no sense. I know there is a perception that reporters should be unbiased and look at all sides of a story. I would prefer to listen to reporters who actually have a clue what they are talking about and actually ask intelligent questions.
The professor was stuck on an island for 14 years because he can't fix a hole in a boat. That cancels out what MacGyver can do.
LOL funny.. but...
maybe he did NOT want to be found!...
remember he is NOT stupid.
2 hot chicks..
his only competition are 2 other guys: fat and old.. or skinny and stupid.

Whatttt how is it Malaysia was holding on to information about this flight but didn't tell until the 15th or 16th of march . these guys maybe the reason it was down .
You left out the laser beams used to shoot down the plane and the microwaves used to control anyone who gets too close to the truth.

Malaysia - not that bright at handling things with the press.

They played us from the start
From The Guardian -
I smell a Pulitzer coming.
"Had very strong rain and wind storm move through RAAF Base Pearce this morning. Here's what's left of our tent."
What?
You expected a poignant view of a tumultuous sky and an angry sea from a CNN photojournalist and a fair description by a Guardian blogojournalist?
And no - no kidding.

Nobody has 'played' anyone. There's lots of confusion, a fair bit (in all likelihood) of embarrassment, and much avoidance of blame. I doubt, however, that anyone has been deliberately misled.

To be fair? That looks a lot like the ending to every camping trip I went on in my youth...no bad weather needed.
I am surprised no ones suggested that zombies may have been the cause...oops, guess I just did!

Here's the actual source of the Australian satellite photos -

And why it took a few days after the photo was taken to find the potential objects.

Yep. I really wasn't kidding. :rofl:
Really has to scare you, what decisions went down at the DoT during her time.
Does me.

Aaaaand... I'm not even going to comment on the x rated version .. :0
Prevailing winds and currents are westerly, meaning that they move West to East, and meteorologists and ocean experts are quoted as saying that things, whatever they are, are moving closer to Australia. Westerly winds pushes things in an easterly direction.

It was mentioned yesterday that that area is a major shipping lane and is riddled with garbage.

So, far a very expensive waste of effort... how many more can we afford?
Nothing spotted in search for jet, Australia says
"Something that was floating on the sea that long ago may no longer be floating - it may have slipped to the bottom," he said. "It's also certain that any debris or other material would have moved a significant distance over that time, potentially hundreds of kilometers."

Who's the 'we' though, i.e. who's paying for it? Malaysia, China, Malaysia Airlines, an insurance company?

That would be easy. All of us regular people pay for it in the end. If it is paid for by the government, then it is taxes that pay for it. If it is insurance, then rates go up and then ticket prices go up, and again the people pay for it.

The US government can't be contracted for services and by law, can't compete with the private sector.
They can monopolize an area until the private sector is able to provide services. Supplying the ISS is an example.
Whether deciding before acting or after, taking insurance money for the Navy would be a private sector contract in the wrong direction. (The US can contract for services, not the other way around.)
The general thinking behind most Navy involvement is that they would be operating anyway, whether performing SAR or not. At no time does the Navy sit around because they have no customers. In reality, budgets have to be adjusted against increased SAR costs (fuel and maintenance) vs those planned for the general time frame.
In the end, this is getting funded by taxpayers for all the countries involved.
The cynical might say that the political cost of not conducting SAR is too high.
My personal opinion is that ever since we've gone to sea the idea of not trying to help those lost or in harm's way is so foreign as to be repugnant.
Unless there's a change in the idea of SAR being for the common good, I don't see it becoming exclusive to the private sector.
And whether one takes the political or humanitarian point of view of this search, the whole world is demanding to know what happened and how to prevent it in the future.
Until every reasonable and unreasonable stone is unturned, I'm hard pressed to see any government leader saying, "We don't know what happened, we're giving up, good luck with your next international flight."
However costs and benefits are calculated, the search is not likely to be stopped real soon now.
On the contrary, last night, I read a number of accounts of submersibles being dispatched to the sea West of Australia.
The search will be called off if they run out of ideas and think it's been too long.
And even then, it's not likely to stop as if a switch had been flipped.
Things lost are always found in the last place you look.
From a certain point of view, all searching until now has been a waste of time.
From another, if they knew where to look in the first place, it wouldn't have been lost.
If any time has been lost, my opinion is that it's because of how badly information has been managed and shared.
Remember, this started with the Chinese and Vietnamese searching the regions along their land borders.
Absent the satellite data, then came the South China Sea followed by the Malacca Straight.

And a very dead George Carlin asks "Did we look in the shower?"
There is no way in this day an age that we should just give up searching. There's a cost to be paid for sure for continuing the search, but the cost of not knowing is potentially must greater.

I agree if we can't find the debris that's a plus that this aircraft maybe still standing and if so I think keep it going . I thinks some land searching would be a operations needed to be started and should have been.
