I'd bet my life savings, which isn't much, that the US knows exactly where/what happened, but ain't saying shite. They gave the Aussies all they could(who the frick else says a piece of debris is 79 ft long), but it's up to the international community to find it.
i highly doubt that

NEW DELHI: India has declined China's request for permission to allow four of its warships near the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago, even as it is now dispatching two aircraft to Malaysia to join the international search force that is now scanning the southern Indian Ocean off Australia for the missing MH370 jetliner.
Officials on Thursday said China's request to allow its four warships, including two frigates and a salvage vessel, to enter Indian territorial waters has been "politely turned down" since Indian warships and aircraft are already searching the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea around the 572-island cluster, The Times of India reported.
This came after the Indian forces strongly opposed the entry of the Chinese warships anywhere near the strategically-located Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where military force-levels are being slowly bolstered with an eye firmly on China.
"The Andaman and Nicobar command is our military outpost in the region, which overlooks the Malacca Strait and dominates the Six-Degree Channel.
We don't want Chinese warships sniffing around in the area on the pretext of hunting for the missing jetliner or anti-piracy patrols," the English daily reported quoting an unnamed official as saying.
An Indian P-8I long-range maritime reconnaissance plane and a C-130J special operations aircraft, with electro-optic and infra-red sensors, meanwhile, will fly to Malaysia on Friday morning to join the international search force there.
The new region off Australia is now on everyone's radar screens after two objects, which could be debris from the missing Malaysian Airlines 777-200ER aircraft, were spotted floating there by a satellite on Thursday.
"Indian Navy already has four warships (INS Satpura, Sahyadari, Saryu and Batti Malv) deployed in the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea in continuation of the search for the jetliner.
Extensive air searches are also being conducted with three aircraft (P-8I, C-130J and Dornier-228) in the area," said an officer.

Anything new, Jim?

This is a news site based in Perth, nothing earthshaking in this story, but more detail than usual, including a short video interview with one of the search pilots. LINK

Australian Deputy PM says debris may have sunk.

With the rough seas down there I wouldn't be surprised.

I am not reading the whole thread but has anyone suggested that if someone is smart enough to steal this plane they might be smart enough to disperse some decoy objects in the ocean in the hopes they get picked up on satellite and then sink? If they find debris every part down to the screws has a number on it, so they'll know it is legit. So it sinks they get the benefit of throwing the investigation off.
Separate question: are we more worried about the lethality of the plane in the wrong hands or the survivors on board? I get the feeling that international community understand the range and scope of this plane in the wrong hands. If someone is smart enough to steal it they have a reason.

So it floated for 10 days after, the saw it on a sat image, and then as soon as they start to look, it sinks?

It's been two weeks. That plane is on the bottom of the ocean. If it were anywhere else, we would have heard of it by now. You can't hide something like for very long.

Its always been the simplest and most logical explanation.
I sure hope they find it soon and are able to pull the data off of the boxes.

We can put a man on the moon...
Oops- I forgot- we can't

I'd like to believe that, but I'm still holding out for the thought of a successful hijacking and landing somewhere.

Oh, so we never landed on the moon? Way to be that guy.
Posted on 3/21/14 at 6:56 am to TigerHam85
I didn't say that we didn't. I said that we can't.

Explain to me why we need to waste millions, if not billions, of dollars flying to the moon again when we know for a fact that there's nothing there for us?
Flying to the moon would be like fricking your fat ex girlfriend because she lives right next to you, instead of the hot redhead that lives 2 blocks away.
Unless they discover that lunar ferroan anorthosite cures cancer, we don't ever need to go back to the moon.

You mean other than Digital Globe the American company that took the pictures and found the debris?
It was reported that it was a US satellite company, but Australians found the debris.

I had an uncle that didn't believe in the moon landing, but he was convinced that professional wrestling was real.
