If the plane flew for more than 7 hours, where is it and what is happening with it? 554.4 mph x 7.5 hours = 4,158 miles of feasible flight. The distance from Malaysia to Iran is 3677.58 miles (481 less miles). It could have lowered its airspeed to look like a civilian aircraft. Below 10,000ft there is a speed limit on jet traffic in the United States. No civilian traffic can fly faster than 250knots (287.695 mph). A 777 has no problem staying in the air at 250 knots. Perhaps Flight 370 flew below 10,000 ft to avoid radar detection and slowed down to 250 knots to appear as a civilian aircraft when radar detection was possible. An alternative idea is that Flight 370 flew at an arc to move as far away from India before it went north to Iran. That must have added flight miles to the 3677.58 miles.
Congratulations! You may have indirectly saved the lives of many via aircraft improvements which were implemented as a result of intact black boxes.

Tut, tut.
You should not be mocking an obviously befuddled senior citizen!
(On the other hand, Roger Ailes certainly should not let the poor old guy back onto FNC.)
If this plane hit the ocean, our undersea sonic sound systems or our subs would have picked it up. The sound would have been akin to an explosion, underwater.
A ship hitting the waves would be a repetitive sound that would be recognized for what it is.
A one time impact of the size of this plane crashing in an area where there would not be other such sounds would be an anomaly.
The sonar operator, or those who “listen” on the underwater sound system would go “What the heck was THAT?”.
How many recorded songs can your phone hold?
Well subs have a data bank of millions of recorded sound anomalies and with a visual graph, from tonal hertz electric motors to damaged propeller signatures, mating biological and tectonic plate activity, they most certainly have a library of explosive sounds, especially stuff that collapses underwater from pressure. Part of the cat and mouse game carryover from the cold war was being a hole in the water and listening for tonals. Boomers especially.
The way I read the remark, his use of the word “cabin” is better translated to “fuselage.”
