How long will they continue to search for the plane in the ocean?

An oil slick from presumably March 8th? It would’ve dispersed by now, methinks...

Depends on if any segment of the tanks are intact. Oil from the Arizona is still making a slick in Pearl Harbor 62 years later.

We’re told that the airliner is somewhere in the water off the coast of Australia; does that mean no one’s looking at any concealed airfields in Pakistan?

Just... wondering...

“How long will they continue to search for the plane in the ocean?”

Until someone is forced to shoot the friggin thing out of the sky when it is headed towards their airspace.

I have no idea where it is, but everything they come up with to keep this story alive in the area they are looking, keeps showing a dry hole. Case in point, the new super-duper mapping sub recently updated, goes down to a depth they know is its limits, hits it and then automatically resurfaces?

Bullcrap! Somebody knew the programming parameters before it went down there to do exactly what it did. What kind of idiot does that? None, not even an idiot. Any logical process control person would have had it go to its limits and then loiter at that depth to do its work the best it could and then under a command from the research vessel, surface because everyone wants to go to sleep at the same time, or the research vessel needs to go to port to refuel.

It is such a crazy story. I just feel very bad for the families of the passengers.

The Arizona had over two million gallons of N6 oil on board when she was hit. The blobs of oil floating up from the wreck will likely continue for several hundred years.
We visited with an old Navy hand while visiting the Arizona and Missouri a few years back. He mentioned the Navy had considered building some kind of sarcophagus around the ship to keep it intact.

Forever...just wait until A&E completes the pilot for their newest reality series based on the search for this plane.

Put this clue in the "Red Herring" file with all of the other distractions, false reports and other so-called leads.

They still haven’t even found the hay stack let alone the needle.

Phoenix International, which has a contract with the U.S. Navy, has determined that the unmanned vehicle can operate at deeper depths.

Their Bluefin-21 apparently disagrees. They may have to bring in another contractor.

Well yeah! Not much oil in an airliner. Laughable they thing it could have come from an airliner at the bottom of a deep ocean 30+ days after.

One would think so and yet there it is -- an oil slick in the middle of the ocean that Houston says did not come from any ships in the area -- go figure.

The people that disrespected McInerney should apologize. I notice he didn’t.

I thought the General was doing that. Does he have any updates??? any pictures of the ongoing search??? any oil slicks??? engine pings??? anything???

Isn't it about due for scheduled maintenance about now??? How's that going???

As far as I’m concerned, all this noise is to hide what many believed in the beginning: That the plane landed safely, though the fate of the passengers may not be so benign.

They have an easier time trying to locate that aircraft if they only searched on Amazon.com!
