This is absurd...a Boeing 777 is still TOTALLY missing after 6 months. Unbelievable. No flotsam anywhere...nothing on land...nothing.
This is a Boeing 777...next step below a 747...this is not a small plane. This is weird.

Have you flown across the Pacific? The Earth is BIG, really big! There is a vast amount of water to cover in a search and they are still (as far as I know) unsure which way the aircraft was actually heading at the time all the fuel would have been exhausted.

...”this is not a small plane”
There are still planes lost in WW2 being found.
There was one recently in Alaska, if i remember correctly there was a b17 found in a glacier within last 10 yrs.
When taken in perspective, the earth is large and planes are small in relation.

Nothing weird about it.

It’s a little weird when a passenger jet full of passengers vanishes without a trace in 2014. imo.

It took a long time to find the explorer Fossett...who was “just out for a short trip around a Nevada airstrip”

Did they ever find Fossett? Please tell me, I’m too lazy to look it up.

Yeah, they found him, he was dead.
But getting back to the subject - even if a pilot (for whatever reason) tried to land a plane (after flying up to 40,000 feet and killing all the passengers for some reason) take a 777 and try to land it on water and not let it come apart in some miracle fashion (like Sculley)...only to let it sink so he could slowly drown...could he do it - and WHY would he do it?
To: DJlaysitup
Keep in mind Scully put that plane down in a river, no waves to speak of. I believe the area the MA flight is thought to have gone down in is quite rough.

We would never know because these reasons would be covered up.

They found a WW2 plane in the Sahara Desert just a couple years ago.
The sand was soft and fine and blew into dunes, and buried most of the plane.
At first they had another huge mystery.
The crew left written messages and hiked off in a certain direction after their food and water had almost run out.
Their disarticulated bones were found scattered over a wide area.
But, in that part of the desert, there are no animals to tear apart bodies!
After contacting various scientists, they learned that the dunes actually tear the bodies apart as they change size and move around.
To: 1rudeboy
As I recall, Fossett got recycled by the local wildlife.
They found his ID and a few large bones, and that was about it.
To: DJlaysitup
The auto pilot might be able to keep the plane mostly level after the engines ran out of fuel so that it wasn’t going all that fast when it hit the water.
Another big problem is there are large amounts of trash floating around in the water in those parts of the world. Whatever did float off the plane could be hidden among the trash.

I seem to recall that they found a very large section of wing from the space shuttle Challenger floating in the water off of Florida....a couple of decades after it exploded and crashed into the ocean.
Ocean big...airplane small...

Soooo, is this thread trying to say that the former MH370 IS in the hands of terrorists and will fly again in an attack on the US or that it is not?
