Maybe the plane is in Pakistan just like some people have said.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. Like I said “meanwhile on an airstrip in Pakistan/Iran” :-)

Gen McInerney keeps on saying that is his belief and he stands by it, even after all of this and INMARSAT saying it went south he still is sticking by his beliefs that it went North
