Re: BREAKING NEWS: Malaysia Airlines Says It Has Lost Contact With A Flight
I don't buy it....Chinese ship says it received pings that are FDR frequency....Reports details to Chinese government...Chinese government has state television report the 'find'...Its looks like the Chinese government is playing geopolitics with the Malaysian government, ie we report our finds straight to our people...Seems that they've been a bit thin with the exact details to the JACC though.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Malaysia Airlines Says It Has Lost Contact With A Flight
It's very hard to buy indeed, maybe chinese knew much more than we were told so far: the area they were supposedly searching was about 84,000 sq miles, with only a couple of vessels equipped with a towed pinger locator, at a speed of 1-5 knots it would take to them some centuries to cover the entire area, as they'd need to be in the very closeness of the emitter if not on its vertical, given the depht of the sea there, it's like to look for a needle in a billion of haystacks. Basically, they could track it down only knowing almost exactly if not exactly where the plane crashed, it can't be the result of some random search (IF the signal is the good one, which is not sure at all). The point where they picked up the ping is even OUT of the 5 april search area, which adds strangeness to strange. Nothing else will surprise me anymore about this story, even the plane showing up in good conditions in some airport would sound relatively normal given the circumstancies, how the fuck could they loose a 777 in 2014 because Malaysian airlines refused to add TEN DOLLARS to the budget of that flight is beyond me, some things should be mandatory, not up to the companies, and anyway Malaysian airlines should be banned from flying anything bigger or technologically advanced than a paper plane, ffs!

JACC is also focusing on another "acoustic occurance", detected by Ocean Shield at another location about an hour ago. This second signal is about 20kms away from the Chinese report. Australian naval vessel Ocean Shield is using a "towed pinger locator" from the US Navy, while the British HMS Echo, which has similar capabilities, is also searching for an underwater signal emitted by the data recorders. |
