Do you think they will ever find the missing passenger plane MH370? It`s been a few weeks now and even though the search zones have widened and increased there`s been no real evidence to even suggest it did crash land anywhere.

What are your thoughts?

Totally gets me in this day and age when everything is under 100% surveillance, and none of our personal information is sacrosanct either. So it turns out that the world is big enough after all for an enormous big plane to go completely missing, including not a single piece of wreckage to be found. How can that be possible?

Totally bizarre! :unknown:

Malaysia and Beijing are a few thousand kilometres from the Bermuda Triangle IG. Owners of satellites in the UK worked out that the plane could have gone down in the south Indian Ocean. Maybe a few hundred miles from Perth, Australia.This is where the focus of the search is right now.

igdesigner, you are not alone. I have also thought it could have ended up in the Bermuda triangle but after looking it up it's not even close to where I thought it was. For some reason I have always thought the Bermuda triangle was close to Oceania. For me I guess the misunderstanding is from when we talked about it in second grade. When the map is zoomed in Florida and the Caribbean islands looks a bit like Indonesia.

So we can exclude the Bermuda triangle, that's for sure. :p

I think the best lead are the signals. I don't think they would have came out and said the plane crashed in the South Indian Ocean if they wasn't pretty sure about it, so at least they have a rough idea of where it is. It's still a big area though so I have no idea if they will actually find it or not.

If it is true that it went down in the South Indian Ocean, wonder what happened inside the plane up to that point. How many hours flight would it have taken to get from South East Asia to the spot where they thought it had gone down? Just imagine being one of the passengers. Must have been a flight from hell. Unless their air supply had been doctored and they all were unconscious shortly after the pilot had said "goodnight" to the air control. And then turned the plane around.

Then the torture the relatives have been through for most of March getting all kinds of reports from Malaysia Government to Malaysian Airlines to the Press.. First report was that the plane crashed (think it was Vietnam), then on 24 March wreckage in the Indian Ocean reports, none of which was confirmed. I really think our Press should get strict rules about confirming their information first before they go live or publish it.

Here is a map from a satellite point of view - which may be the most accurate one so far, although for relatives maybe not as real:

Here is a timeline for how the mystery unfolded:

Now the news reports that a Chinese ship have picked up signals. Hopefully it's from the missing MH370. What else could it be?

Maybe the UK submarine searching there as well? Don't they ping as well? Or is that just something from within the movies?

It would be quite stupid to send out signals of the same frequency as they are listening for.

Yeah, well, you never know.

Its quite stupid to loose a Boing 777 anno 2014 too.
Well said .... :p If one thinks about it can turn out to be brilliant they could do that at the same time - pinch a big Boeing 777 just like that!. I'm sure the Malaysian Government will be tougher on screening passports at their airport - as that is pretty unbelievable too in this day and age of tough airport security for two people to have been able to board the plane with false passports. I'm almost certain they did it at that particular airport possibly because they knew they could.

Malaysian Government said if the plane flying around outside Indonesian teritory before they losing the last signal. Investigators believe it crashed in the Indian Ocean although no confirmed debris has been found.

Right. There is no proof yet. Although I'm almost certain some of the Governments know something that they are withholding from the public.

Im so thinking about it. But its very complicated problems. The one side they need the help of other countries, but on the other side they can not open up because it involves something very confidential. The rumour is if their country have some problem with their politic conspiracy.

Looks as though the Ozzies have now picked up on some pings as well, which they are carefully optimistic about. Hopefully they can get to the bottom of it tomorrow. Just feels so SLOW!

It is slow.

Pretty sure Boeing knows more.
There must be ways like GPS to find a modern plane like that.

Exactly! Maybe every move that is made has to be sanctioned by a few countries at the same time, i.e. like following the pings. The first one by the chinese trawler was heard as far ago as Saturday. it is Tuesday now.

This is definitely a mystery. Particularly the millions of dollars that must have been spent in comparison with other similar type crashes and still nothing seen yet. Guess very soon now conspiracy theories will start to go around.

Definitely one of the saddest things. Bad enough when this happens but for relatives not to have certainty about what had happened and where their family ended up has to be hell on earth.
