Are you sure? I just got my grandson one of these games for his birthday. You don't think he is going to like it?
You do have to wonder if one or more of our subs isn’t involved in the search.
Ah, I get the joke.
You are “pinging” us repeatedly!
Chess is a good game....
We have admitted that one sub is.
Faulty translation.
They found a stowaway named Ping.
They heard a voice say, WI TU LOO.
Makes sense, they are equipped with appropriate technology, can move swiftly and are quiet.
As someone else said, surely the submarines detected when it hit
Is this the tingle up Mathews leg or the real deal!
Do Chinese navy ships have day rooms on board, or for that matter, USA ships? I’m an old Army vet. We had ping pong tables in our day rooms.

And WHY would we have had a sub within 1000 miles of this area?
A plane that size hitting the surface of the ocean could have the impact of a detonation of, let’s say, 5,000 lbs of dynamite. The shock wave should have been detected. Surface ships, subs, listening devices.. something should have heard the crash. Information from several devices should allow for a triangulation of at least a general area. To give a sort of junior example, most cities now have microphones listening for gunshots. If a shot goes off, the data from several listening posts is used to triangulate a location and the cops are there right away. Yes, the ocean is bigger but sound travels through water immense distances.
well maybe we didn’t and maybe we did, but maybe Australia did, ya think?
Well, at the time there was (Chinese?) detection of some seismic event close to the “turning” point. That was dismissed. As for the open ocean, that is thousands of mi away from land and possibly many miles to any craft that would have any such capability or desire to use it. One also does not know just how much impact the craft actually would have - it could be slow and make a rather nice acute angle into the water, with less catastrophic impact than a headlong rush or somersault into it. That changes momentum and impact. (And bear in mind that aircraft are built to be light as possible.)
What happened with Air France? It was in the open Atlantic. Don’t recall if anyone talked about getting signals about shock or any such. And the Atlantic is narrower and probably more traveled by ships and US subs, especially where it was.
NOBODY patrols waters in which no threat or tactical advantage is perceived.
And this theoretical location isn’t exactly on any transit route either.
OK, get a load of this weirdness!
The coordinates given, 25 S - 110 E, are almost directly in the center of the “Exmouth Triangle”, the Souther Hemisphere analog to the Bermuda Triangle.
To get exact coordinates of the Exmouth Triangle - take the coordinates for the Bermuda Triangle, then substitute North for South to get the latitudes, then subtract from 180 degrees to change West to East in the longitudes.
See here (along with a downloadable KMZ file of the Exmouth coordinates that you can view on Google Earth): https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gec-fun-games/DMptmHbqrHU
While the Air France planes remains were difficult to locate and retrieve, I don’t think there was any doubt about it having entered the water. Perhaps some of FR’s nautical and audio experts could chime in here..
