Flight MH370: Chinese and Australian ships draw blank
BBC ^ | March 29, 2014

Posted on 03/29/2014 8:00:25 AM PDT by don-o

A Chinese and an Australian ship have failed to identify remains from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight after their first day in a new search area.

The two ships retrieved objects from the Indian Ocean but none was confirmed to be from missing flight MH370, Australia's maritime authority said.

Chinese aircraft also flew over the area, north-east of the previous zone, and have spotted more objects.

MH370 debris or some stars and cloud wisps. You be the judge!

I'm going with a brand new stellar constellation.

The Mariners should be able to chart any debris by "going" backwards in time. They know the currents and flow times.

Maybe the stuff is old Tsunami debris.

What can you do with a civilian aircraft and 235 hostages? right! pack it with explosives load up the hostages and force Isreal as it heads toward them to shoot it down. Just saying

Even the smallest piece from the plane would be fairly easy to determine as in fact part of the aircraft..

How many Red Herrings are the "experts" going to drag out for us until someone finally has the guts to admit the truth?

Well you know, I’m not jumping on the CNN “UFO/Bermuda Triangle” theory bandwagon, as the most logical and likely fate would be crashing into the ocean. But what are the odds, given all the technology that’s been brought to bear, that after 20 days there isn’t one single piece of debris?

And I’ll say again, when some very credible military experts with deep and covert connections said it was in Pakistan, that did not deserve to be treated with the same disdain as the crackpot theories on CNN.

The plane is somewhere. And so far the only proof we have that’s it’s in the Indian Ocean is the word of the leader of an Islamic county that has obfuscated and mishandled this whole affair from the get-go.

I’m left with the mental image of someone jumping up & down, stomping-of-feet, arms flailing, frustrated & enraged, yelling,

“Why can’t they find even ONE damned piece? We TOLD them where to look!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

CNN is going nuts, they hype up every day and then they have to backpeddle the next day when all that has been retrieved is loose rope and styrofoam.

But, But But, don't you remember the the liberal intellectuals in the media (intentional oxymoron) told us that was so hard to do now because globull warming had screwed up all the currents. And to by that carp we have to believe that all experts in the world are to stupid to keep track of current flows, you know their job.

Nope. Even if the plane did a soft belly landing, didn't breakup and maintained its air seal thereby permitting it to float and the weather had been doldrumlike the entire time, the search area is enormous. I seem to remember that based on the last signal received by the Inmarsat satellite, the initial search area over the south Indian Ocean was about the size of Alaska.

Now, let's assume the plane broke up on impact and further assume that any debris has been moved by wind and currents an average of 3mph. That's 3mph x 24hrs/day = 72 miles per day. In one week that debris will have moved 72 x 7 = 504 miles. In three weeks it will have moved 504 miles x 3 weeks = 1,512 miles.

After three weeks, any debris still floating will be widely dispersed that.
