Malaysia Airlines Plane "Loses Contact"

[996owner]

I'm sure this is just AI Journalism picking up key words and writing articles.

Last week the same paper claimed the jet had been spotted on Google earth in the jungle, before that it had been spotted at the bottom of the ocean by a satellite. Just Google MH370 every day and see what I mean.

If this story is true and hopefully it is it may give closure to the families


Looks like someone has thrown doubt over the final ping locations

I seem to recall that at the time a fisherman reported seeing a plane very low ( crash) in an area many thousands of miles from where the “experts” reckoned the plane had gone down, and was discounted and ignored

But I might be wrong !

And I’m not going back through 405 pages to see if it was mentioned here

I remember the same, however those sightings were ignored because of the aircraft's system pings showing it in a different place.

As they should have. The plane is known to have been near Oz due to its signal. They cant excactly ignore that because of mentalists who claim they have seen it on the moon etc.

I remember that too.

I wonder if they have ever reflown the route and location based on pings, as this surely would answer a lot of questions. The thing is if they have searched where it should be and isn't then most probably it is somewhere else. It is a mystery really that I think won't be solved for a long time.

Yes, they have. If everybody on board was unconscious and the plane dropped from the sky, the search area they were looking is reasonable. If however the plane was uncontrol, which IMO seems likely given what happened with all the comm7nicati9ns being turned off, and it was a controlled descent, the wreackage could be up to 100 miles away from where they have been looking.

It's a bit more complicated than that.

Firstly, they ran a wild goose chase after apparently discovering pings from the aircraft recovery beacons, triangulated them, then realised the plane could not be anywhere near the location they'd discovered them.

Then a paper claimed that the aircraft had flown for several hours after disappearing. The malaysian government made them retract that, until later admitting they were right.

Then they claimed they had telemetry from the aircraft transmitted to the engine manufacturer. They they realised they didn't subscribe to that service, so actually only had check-in times to the satellite that would have gathered that data. However, the check-in and time lag allowed them to calculate how long it flew for and how far away from the satellite it was.

They various militaries slowly released information about seeing the plane change direction on military radar.

So, so say they didn't follow up leads is true. To say it was because they knew it wasn't in the sighted locations is highly unlikely since they had literally no clue about where it was for months after it disappeared.

Now that is the thinking of a pure genius

you get posters whose only input is to scour the forums to either correct spelling or point out the bleeding obvious. the context was ''I wonder if they have ever reflown the route and location based on pings, as this surely would answer a lot of questions. ''

you know the whole hunt is based on engine pings, and maybe just maybe there is a issue, which a reflight would possible show, because it ain't were it should be, geddit..?

He's found it, he's there on Christmas Island right now trying to get a phone signal to tell everyone.

I saw that programme - one of those "drain the oceans" type programmes. From what I saw, accident investigators now believe that MH370 did crash after running out of fuel. The aircraft didn't glide to a ditch point. Experts seem to know roughly where the wreckage is and have been searching an area known as "35". Thirty pieces of wreckage have been found, having drifted west, not east to Australia.

[anonymous-user]

The experts agree until the last ping. One lot say mh370 turned south the other says it turned North. It seems like not all the potential areas have been fully covered, which I thought they had.

Edited as made no sense.

Thank the lord, the mystery is finally solved after 5 years!

Has the Diego Garcia conspiracy theory been debunked?

Pass the tin foil.

Aside from very many obvious reasons, the main one being that verified wreckage of the aircraft has been found washed up on African shores.

[anonymous-user]

Probably old news but it's been reported that the co pilot tried to use a phone shortly after the tracker signal was lost from plane.

Would tie up with cabin depressurisation and captain flying. I do think the Malaysian government know the motives for it but have kept it subdued.
