not sure if it's been mentined yet, but Final cockpit communications released

Nothing sounds untoward to me...?

It was also 'released' about 2 months ago, wasn't it?.

WTF surely it has changed since then?

How many of these planes are there under the seas ? Someone claims to have found another one :

This was mentioned a few posts up.

In some respects this has credibility as they methods they have used are those used in mining exploration and understandable mined metals are generally found way below any surface.

Many are cynical of this outfit and their methods.

That said, the Bangladeshi Navy has reportedly set out to investigate the report, so somebody thinks it worth a look.

well it's not far from them so it's a relatively cheap way to boost their international reputation if they find anything

Beard and Braces too, tells me all i need to know!!

Am i being stupid or is there a boat right next to it? Does he think the people on the boat haven't noticed the massive piece of metal next to them?

The boat you refer to, and what the article refers to an oil rig, is in fact a lay barge. (I know you wouldn't know that, I only know as I have worked on them).

They lay pipelines on the seabed.

I don't know they would have missed the wreckage, stupid article I think.

Probably part of the tinfoil hat conspiracy theory that they were putting the wreckage into the sea to hide the actual fate of the aircraft

pprune MH370 thread post #10523 is worth a read....

"Final Rule was only released by FAA a few days ago (the initiating ramp incident was in Cairo to an Egyptair 777 over three years ago).
"We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Company Model 777F series airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of a fire that originated near the first officer's seat and caused extensive damage to the flight deck. This AD requires replacing the low-pressure oxygen hoses with non-conductive low-pressure oxygen hoses in the stowage box and supernumerary ceiling area. We are issuing this AD to prevent electrical current from passing through an internal, anti-collapse spring of the low-pressure oxygen hose, which can cause the low-pressure oxygen hose to melt or burn and lead to an oxygen-fed fire near the flight deck.
UNIFIED AGENDA
Airworthiness Directives
1 action from October 2014"

etc, etc..

That line caught my eye. The offshore diving industry has been using non-conductive oxygen hose for over 40 years, nothing new there, strange it seems only to have come to the attention of the aircraft industry.

What do you mean by that?

[AreOut]

they should start every possible investigation immediately, why hesitating for 2 months? Also how could they be so inept not to disregard south china sea immediately if they already had tracked the plane going back over Malaysia, why spending resources of many countries if you are sure the plane is not there? Many unanswered questions...

You'd have thought they could find the Black Box, Right On Time, pfffffffffffft.

You're such a, you're such a, you're such a, you're such a hot temptation.

Anyone looked on ebay for used black boxes?

usura bout that?

I still find the dissapearance fascinating. I'm no conspiracy theorist and would put the incident down to either pilot error, plane malfunction or deliberate (again by pilot)

The thing I can't get my head around is that no debris has been found. Originally we were looking for the equivalent of a grain of sand on a football pitch which, with the resources thrown at it would surely have been found by now.

I know the oceans are huge places but it just amazes me that not one of the 200 plus bodies has been washed up anywhere, not one positive sighting of a piece of luggage floating.

I find it astonishing and I know plenty will say about the scale of the area but with every modern technique and known to man to come up with zero in two months!

I totally agree. Was chatting with the brother in law over the weekend who suggested it wasn't an unusual occurrence and whilst it isn't for light aircraft, we did a bit of googling and nothing of this size has ever just disappeared without a trace.
