They will probably never ever find the Malaysian jet. I personally think it just happenstance went into the part of the Ocean that is one of the deepest in the world. So far the submersible has reported that the area it went down to is deeper than they thought it was. Will we find its as deep or even deeper than what is currently considered the deepest part of the oceans in the Pacific South of Japan?

If they don’t find the jet, it’s entirely because this whole investigation has been a clown show from the beginning.

It sounds like very poor planning, given that the worlds oceans are pretty much mapped as to depth. Sheesh.

What a farce.

Well you are right about one thing they will never find it looking in the Ocean. :-)

They just need to bring in another submersible that can hold its breath longer —

Are we sure it's not in Crapistan? They're either serial bumblers or this is some kind of Kabuki show.

Shifting search area away from deep water? Sounds like the old joke about looking for a lost article where the light is better. . .

On Monday Mark Matthews, the United States navy captain who oversees the use of the Bluefin-21, told Guardian Australia that if the vehicle exceeded its limits more than once it would no longer work.

“It could probably go down further than that once, but it wouldn’t be functional after that,” he said.

Matthews said the vehicle was “chosen for its speed of deployment, and principally the mission right now is to localise. It’s got a tactical capability to do those debris fields but it’s certainly not the tool I would use to do a very, very broad area sonar scan”.
