MH370: Four-year hunt ends after private search is completed
http://www.bbc.com/ ^ | 5/29/18

The four-year hunt for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has ended with the latest, privately funded search coming to a close.

US-based Ocean Infinity had been using a deep-sea vessel to survey a vast area of the southern Indian Ocean.

But it found nothing and Malaysia's government says it has no plans to begin any new searches.

The plane disappeared on 8 March 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.

Official search efforts ended last year and there are still fierce debates about what happened to the flight.

Grace Nathan, whose mother was on MH370, said she was opposed to ending the hunt.

"People might think: 'Why are these people still harping on about this, it's been four years'. It's important for people to remember that MH370 is not history," she told the Guardian newspaper.

I’m not conspiracy oriented, and the ocean is a very big place for something to be lost in, but is it possible this plane is sitting somewhere, intact, after having been hijacked (by the pilot)? How difficult would it be to do that? Have they found any wreckage at all that has been verified?

No. Somebody would have seen it. And talked. And taken a picture.

Originally, in the first month...I was thinking like you and figured it was on some island chain.

Once it was laid out that the pilot had a mini-training system in his house, and he had this unique route that he’d deleted on the computer system that was very similar to where he turned...I had zero doubt that he was the guy who’d done it.

Once you say it’s one single guy....it’s not a kidnapping or hijacking. It’s like that German pilot-nutcase who crashed his plane into the French mountain. Just a suicide case. I’m of the mind that this plane broke up into enough pieces that it’d be next to impossible to find it.

Go google up the map of that region....it’s just nothing out there and they’ve never done much exploring there.

How hard would it be for planes to have a spring door is perhaps the tail wing that pops at impact and a crash resistant dup mini black box shoots out w/parachute in a flotation device?

Maybe they’ve been looking in the wrong place. Perhaps the plane crashed into a jungle-covered mountain in Vietnam or Laos.

There are parts which various authorities said were almost certainly from the plane.

Every CNN viewer knows the answer to this: It’s in a black hole.
