Yes, but only 5 days (if memory serves) to find pieces of wreckage.

4 search parties to find some wreckage but 2 years to find the majority of it.

Yeah, the location of those bodies is interesting.

This convo talked me into it. Time to hook up the xbox and youtube some air emergency because all these on demand things don't have it but have bull shite like wicked tuna. Like IGAF

Another theory I thought of, not sure if anyone else has already posted something similar:

After the pilots/hijackers made the plane disappear, they landed somewhere and dropped of whatever passengers/cargo they were interested in. It could be the Chinese nationals, the Texas cloaking people, the rumored gold,whatever. They then put the remaining passengers back on the plane and crash it into the ocean after flying around a few more hours.

Would be a great way to kidnap someone or steal something while obscuring who or what you took.

So they are focusing now on the southern route by the coast of Australia. Damn there is a huge area to cover.

The location in question is Bangladesh which is at the bottom tier of the 3rd world. Stray bodies is not an uncommon occurrence there.

Here is a map someone did of radar holes that the plane could have maneuvered around.

Someone mentioned that he could put the plane on autopilot. I didn't know you could do that. Theoretically he could have killed everyone on the plane by going to a high altitude and then decompressurzing the cabin, turned off the transponders, put the plane on autopilot, kill himself and then let the plane fly for 7 hours by itself in order to screw with all of our minds later.



people keep saying this high altitude for decompression, and hypoxia. You can die at 20,000 without oxygen.

The worst part is that we may never know what happened. Even if they find the wreckage.

I watched the EgyptAir 990 link (and got sucked into the next 4 parts!) that was posted this morning.

Two interesting things...
A black box can withstand an impact of 3,400 Gs (also mentioned in your graphic), but both locater beacons (CVR and FDR) were detatched from the boxes in that incident. I didn't realize that could happen...

that's secondary radar, or controlled space. Primary radar info isn't public knowledge.

Sheesh. With that potential flight radius, if it didn't crash, or hell, even if it did, searching for it is almost futile.

Especially since the black box only records two hours of voice from the cockpit.

And if it crashed in very deep water of the Indian Ocean, 20,000 or more, the black box is not designed to withstand the submersible pressure.

I have never heard anything about beacons floating to the surface when planes crash in the ocean. Better alert the us navy that is searching with sonar for sounds underwater


They are using sonar to look for the acoustic pinger signals from the flight data and cockpit voice recorder, totally different thing from the ElT.
