Got my update from Erin Burnett on CNN, so that might explain my delay. She (whom I actually like a lot) and Richard Quest (CNN's "aviation expert" who was arrested in Central Park for meth a few years ago) were talking about the dolphin scenario about an hour ago.gut;1602192 wrote:You're a little behind....Australians with US tech already found two different pings yesterday, hearing one for up to 2 hours and then 15 minutes on the return sweep.
Completely different area than where the Chinese were. I doubt it's true, but someone said there was a rumor the Chinese had a black box on board and it might have gotten splashed and started pinging
As far as I know, however, none of the ping signals originally detected have been reacquired in the last 24 hours of searching.

The Australian detection seems really solid, but they haven't been able to find it again today. Keep in mind, however, that the batteries might finally be dead.reclegend22;1602193 wrote: As far as I know, however, none of the ping signals originally detected have been reacquired in the last 24 hours of searching.
Someone else was laughing at the Chinese, something along the lines of "maybe we can rest easy that they aren't nearly as technically advanced as we thought"

By now some of the pieces have probably washed up on some remote island....so you would technically be partially correct.ccrunner609;1605089 wrote:...and that plane is on land somewhere.

They wasted a lot of time looking for the "black box"

Still no sign of MH370.

Why not install a water activated dye capsule in all planes similar to how the locator beacons are activated? Make it orange so that if a plane crashes in the ocean you can clearly see the general area in which it landed. I believe fighter jets have this correct? Seems like a cheap solution to this problem in the future.

I thought was just the fuel you see in the water that is colored.sleeper;1609052 wrote:Why not install a water activated dye capsule in all planes similar to how the locator beacons are activated?

I always thought planes had a GPS tracking system that would always be tracking the plane.

I think it would be fairly easy to spot a large patch of orange dye in the middle of the ocean. It seems like a cost effective way to solve the problem.thavoice;1610017 wrote:Still would have to get within range to see it.

Thanks to Donald Sterling, CNN's Don Lemon will never find the plane now.
Good search, though, everyone. Almost found it.

I thought they'd find something once they hit on the pings. Reports now are more pings on Sunday, which is WELL beyond the expected battery duration. Makes you wonder what they were picking up.
Not sure this thing is ever going to be found.

Now that we've officially established that the Malaysians have no idea in fuck how to investigate a missing plane, it might be time to expand the search elsewhere. As we are beginning to find out, the immarsat data might very well be wrong. Why not increase the scope of the search to include the corridor to the north? Check the ocean in that region, remote areas of land where wreckage could be hidden, small uninhabited isles, etc.
What a mess. I agree that it's highly likely that this plane will ever be found.

The US and Australians have been leading the search since the first few weeks. None of the satellite analysis or ping locators are Malaysian tech.
