Malaysia airlines plane may have crashed 239 people on board #21

It's looking promising that there'll be answers of some description, soon. Whether they'll find the plane remains to be seen.

He added that the full cost of the search for the plane, and which countries would bear the cost, were not yet clear, but that the search cost was "peanuts" compared to the costs of other international crises.

"How much is Ukraine costing everybody?" he asked. "How much has it been for Syria and it's still unfolding? How much does it cost the people of Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Iraq? Not only in dollars and cents but in lives. Here it is peanuts."

Complicating matters, however, is the depth of the seafloor in the search area. The pings detected earlier are emanating from 4,500 meters (14,763 feet) below the surface - which is the deepest the Bluefin can dive.

The search coordination center said it was considering available options in case a deeper diving sub is needed. But Williams suspects if that happens, the search will be delayed while an underwater vehicle rated to 6,000 meters (19,700 feet) is dismantled and air freighted from Europe, the U.S. or Japan.

Martin and Mitchell both look so bored in that flight simulator every time they show them!

When the searchers find the black box, we will find out that Martin + Mitchell were really never in that simulator all that time and they were just on a 24-hour continuous loop. LOL

wow that is interesting information.

I have been wondering...

Is there any other scenario other than gliding down piloted which would account for the plane going in and just sinking to the bottom? As in, no debris field?

I was wondering the same thing. If by some chance it did land in the water intact, the undercarriage could have broken in two, causing it to sink faster leaving everyone and everything trapped inside the aircraft. JMO

I've been trying to find the weather conditions for that part of the Southern Indian Ocean on March 8-9 but apparently my Goggle skills are lacking.:facepalm:

Godspeed to all of the families.

The point you bring up about the weather that fateful day is interesting, because: supposedly MH370 was flying completely under the radar and incommunicado. It seems to me that regular weather updates would be critical input to a jumbojet in flight. Lightning, turbulence, wind, etc. So not only were we not hearing from it, but it was not hearing from us. Perhaps it encountered "windshear"?

The Titanic was basically found in two large pieces, I believe? As though solid in half? And such heavy pieces just drifted to the bottom. That is kind of what I am picturing. We know those people were alive...but a plane might be different. Jmo
