How about looking on a runway in Pakistan....
Has it actually been found or is this all still moonshine?
Much like the plane that went down in the Andes...it took months.
I expect CNN to have a countdown clock on the wall as they dramatize the end of the 30 days and the black box's final ping.
I fail to see why the airline industry still uses the so-called black boxes with no other system of problem reporting. There is, in my opinion, absolutely no reason that all of this data cannot be transmitted to many places on the ground in real time. I am not saying that the black boxes be eliminated on the aircraft, just not relied on as the only source of information. This is not beyond our current technological ability.
Also, since a large number of aircraft accidents occur on landings and takeoffs, why don’t airports have video cameras on the runways at all times?
How long will those recorders ping? I thought it was 30 days.
I would think with all the undersea SOSUS listening gear that we have for Russian subs and others that we would have literally heard it hit the water at high speed.
The Russian K-129 sub that sank around 1968 that the CIA Glomar Explorer ship went to pick up found it because of listening gear way then.
Interesting tidbit in all of this. There were 154 Chinese on board. The number 154 is an extremely unlucky number in Chinese culture.
Live streaming block box data? Why not live streaming audio and video too.
I've always wondered why every 711 in the country has video but they always have to resort to a black box what happened to a plane during a crash.
FYI
“The plane’s two black boxes are key to solving the mystery of why the plane veered so far off course and its final fate,...”
I doubt much will be learned from the black box.
Narcissistic hegomaniac control freaks like the pilot of this aircraft, won’t leave a recorded voice to explain why he did it. He did not say much while the plane was still up in the air, and I’m sure the coward did not leave a recording.
We’ll find the black boxes just as soon as NSA, or whoever, finishes constructing & planting them, and not a minute sooner.

Is that a fact up to this point?

Missing Malaysia Airlines Plane: What We Know Now
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3137157/posts
What gets me is why are the intelligence communities so silent about the whereabouts of the passengers on land?
Are they hoping to get bigger fish, the actual nuke devices or to make a clean insertion and extraction?
If anything I would rather listen to a concocted story by Israel that they know where the jet is and are launching forces to destroy in before it attempts to destroy Israel.
It took 23 months correct, but remember, they had radar and transponder readings until it went in, and they just happened to have all sorts of floating debris they found within a couple of days, like the tail section.
To date, they have not found a thing after almost two weeks of searching for the debris in the large area where they ASSUME it went down. Two sat images days apart counter to the currents is all they are going on and even with that known location and accounting for known currents they still couldn’t find it with the best sub/ocean hunting aircraft in the world, the P-3 Orion and the P-8 Poseidon.
