Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 370: Eighth Drone Mission to Sea Bed Fails to Find Wreckage
Yahoo News ^ | 21 Apr 14 | Divya Avasthy

Posted on 04/21/2014 3:23:15 PM PDT by xzins

The eighth underwater drone mission to search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has failed to find any evidence of plane wreckage on the sea bed.

The Bluefin-21 submarine employed for the task has so far screened over two-thirds of the narrowed search area.

The underwater hunt is expected to finish within this week,

Since its fourth mission, the submarine was reprogrammed to scour the seas 604 feet below its permissible limit of 14,800 feet. The part of the Indian Ocean narrowed down for the search is deeper than the previously estimated range at some places,

"The [underwater drone] reached a record depth of 4,695 metres [15,404 feet]... Diving to such depths does carry with it some residual risk

Meanwhile, the oil slick discovered near the search area by ADV Ocean Shield turned out to be unrelated to the missing Malaysian jet, as it was later confirmed that it was not hydraulic fluid from aircraft engine.

Could they have retrieved the black box and dumped it too?

Flight800 cover up. We still do not know what happened... and no one seems really interested...

“...On the 5th and 8th of April, four distinct underwater pings were detected, which were nearly consistent with black box signals....”

NEARLY consistent? Jeez, that’s news. I think what applies here is the old saying “close only counts in hand grenades and horseshoes”.

And this, too: But most of the leads in the past six-week search operations turned out to be false subsequently.

Since when does Pakistan own Diego Garcia?

We know the plane landed there.

And they are throwing “black box” nonsense at us like propaganda grenades.

Sounds like a healthy discussion of the meaning of the word “know”

You never saw the video of the missile intercepting the plane?

Why are you posting nonsense? If you “know” something, post a link—otherwise you’re simply posting unfounded conspiracy theory.

You don’t accept the data on the dark photo?

I can’t find a sensible reason to dispute it. Some here tried to push it off but their assertions were shown to be less than factual.

There is no theory about it.

The geo coordinates of the photo were a close approximation of the end of the runway there.

Dude (or Dudette?) you’re babbling. What “geo coordinates” and what “photo” are you babbling about? Do you have some CREDIBLE supporting links?

Maybe because they didn’t find it because it isn’t there. Just sayin’.

You know nothing of Philip Wood’s black I-phone shot?

It was all over the web in early March. We did discuss it here.

There are things we and the world are not being told, imho.
However that is not news...cover up has always been the name of the game when countries are secretive, lie, or find out scenarios that don’t make them look good.

Nope. Never saw any of those threads, but I backed off after it looked like nothing new was forthcoming any given day.

I did find this link after searching on yahoo a few minutes ago: mh 370 diego Garcia dark photo:

They failed to support their assertion that anything was “faked.”
