Malaysia Airlines plane carrying 239 people goes missing

[jlprk]

If this debris is indeed the missing aircraft, I am afraid I owe Sly 10 bucks.
The plane must have flown down there on autopilot, it's almost impossible to believe
a man did intentionally.

The debris distance from origin is almost the same as destination, equals out of fuel.

For 10 bucks, I can come up with theories to help you win your 10 bucks. For example, even if the plane is found in the water,

1. Check whether it's a plastic facsimile made in China. Kids nowadays.
2. They might have flown it to Uzbekistan to kidnap the 20 computer experts on board and the tungsten cargo, then flown it to the ocean and ditched the evidence.

Both the P-3 and the P-8 returned. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Here's a colorful map to get stoned staring at, plus, bonus, an article describing some wilder theories.

Floating objects were checked a week ago, much closer to Malaysia. They turned out to be unrelated. This new stuff is a glimmer of light picked up from 22,000 miles high. They send a P-3 on a 10-hour flight to check. The media gets its daily headline from this, and this thread goes nuts.



Both kinds of transmitters have a short range. You act as if searchers a thousand miles away can receive their signals.

World wide is correct.

I have read for years that the black box signal range is way under a hundred miles. They find it with a grid search. And that's when it's on the water surface. If it's 15,000 feet down like the location they're now checking off Australia, a receiver has to be closer.

 

[MarAzul]

I'll be darned, an empty patch. Well I guess the thinkers use the logic I gave you above to calculate the search area that seems to be empty.
But it was good logic except no 406 mhz beacons were deployed. Now I hope the hell they find the plane before it really raises hell.

 

[jlprk]

I read this morning that the black box range is 1 mile for 1 month. Since the spot 1500 miles from Australia is 13,000-20,000 feet deep, even dragging a receiver at the end of a 2-3 mile cable would have trouble finding it. Half of the month is gone.

Good thing there was a well trained pilot at the helm to land it safely...

Thank goodness for modern bean counting.

It's fun to charter an accountant
And sail the wide accountan-cy,
To find, explore the funds offshore
And skirt the shoals of bankruptcy.

It can be manly in insurance:
We'll up your premium semi-annually,
It's all tax-deductible,
We're fairly incorruptible,
We're sailing on the wide accountancy!

 

[jlprk]

That was great, revolutionary even. You are Lennonist.

I love the smell of an airplane search in the morning. They decided the plane speed was faster than they thought, so they moved the search 700 miles, the length of California.

So all that last week about finding wreckage.....what the hell happened?

The plane crashed. All passengers and crew were lost.

 

[riverman]

There's this great invention inspired by HG Wells that might be useful in the search, it's called a submarine..just saying, flying around looking for the black box that's in the ocean, you might want to search IN the ocean

 

[riverman]

It's possible the Bermuda Triangle has moved without telling anyone

 

[THE HCP]

I haven't been following this on purpose. I swore 10 days ago they had a press conference claiming Australia had found wreckage.......haven't heard anything since. So obviously it wasn't from this plane?

Dude you fly way too many miles to put plane wreck stories in the memory cells...just sayin'

 

[THE HCP]

That's why I have stayed away from it.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Come on, youtube plane crash compilations. Fucking horrific. Helicopter ones are even better, I refuse to "fly" in one of those.

I know per mile planes are way safer than cars but not being in control is the problem for me.

When a satellite 22,000 miles high sees a glare, do not assume it's an object, much less one from this plane. Even when an airplane sees floating debris, when a ship finally follows up, it's usually a big pile of seaweed with seagulls stopping to take a crap.

 

[BlazerWookee]

I still say the plane landed somewhere and fear it will reappear somewhere with devastating results.

You know that story of a young Bill Gates forgetting his tie for the meeting with IBM bluesuits, and driving around like crazy to find a place that would sell him a tie? That actually happened to me. I wasn't selling PC-DOS, just trying to get to work on time. I desperately found a dry cleaner outfit, got a tie, and showed up to work late.
