Doctrine, I was struggling to put that into words. I don't understand the assumption that it's going to be quick or easy either. It's going to be long and arduous. I think it is in the ocean but I'm not sure if they will ever find it. Hopefully they will find something that is from the plane, at least that would be closure of a sort for the families.

Thanks The Elements Song

As far as I'm concerned, technology has made people think that the world is smaller than it actually is! Internet, phones etc allow us to have almost instant connection with people all over the globe & we seem to forget how much of the planet is ocean. Even if we do look at a globe or Earth from space & appreciate that there is a lot of blue, we find that difficult to translate into exactly how vast it is in reality.

We have also been somewhat spoiled in the UK with the relative speed with which high profile cases of missing people have appeared to be solved; Joanna Yeates, Shannon Matthews, Mikael Kular are three that immediately spring to mind.

Nauticant who's to say the investigators haven't done that? It was only on the 24th March that it was announced the search was focusing on the South after all.

I think the patent is a red herring. I'm sorry I fell for it. The existence of Freescale technicians on the flight may be connected with a motive for hijacking/murder, or it may be a coincidence. My tin hat's on standby for that one, mainly due to the speed with which they were all dismissed as 'admin' which wasn't true. You just have look at some of their qualifications.

Not being an expert in radio signal doppler analysis, I have no idea whether the southern route is as certain as we've been told. Going North instead, there are a few credible - not likely, but credible - scenarios that would end up covering about a quarter of the planet as potential destinations: some of them very remote, on land as well as sea.

YY to the vastness of oceans.

I want to know whether US surveillance have photos! If not, why not?! They're very proud of their planetary observation; I think they've played this wrong unless they did nick the plane.

I'm pretty sure they'll have something Garlic. Problem is that they're paranoid about Islamist extremists/Communists any ist that doesn't subscribe to the American Dream that sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if they were prepared to take the collateral damage of losing a small number of US citizens over revealing their surveillance capabilities.

Yes. Bloody annoying, though, isn't it? Especially to all those conducting painstaking searches of vague destinations, not to mention the family members.

I need a few $zillions to launch my own satellite surveillance network. I'll put it all online. That'll larn 'em!

I keep logging on reading bbc , here , newspapers as do we all. I still smell a rat despite what has been said . No idea what kind of a rat but somebody is holding something back and i don't think its the malaysians .

mileysorearse · 02/04/2014 16:40

I am sure I read somewhere that the US offered help immediately but the Malaysian government turned it down. Perhaps it was when they were still certain that the plane was in the SCS? If this did happen in collusion with another government its one that has some brass neck as not many countries would want to piss off China. The Uyghurs could be a possibility for a hijack/crash scenario but why not claim responsibility?

GarlicAprilShowers · 02/04/2014 18:00

The US has been helping all along, miley. It sent FBI agents & accident investigators to help with the data evaluation, and is about to send some more planes for searching. I was referring specifically to their state-of-the-art surveillance, which either doesn't work as well as they crack on, or is being withheld.

TheDoctrineOfSnatch · 02/04/2014 18:12

...or is not directed at the Indian Ocean, or is being shared with the taskforce to rule things in and out but only secretly (for example - we aren't clear what has changed the estimate of speed other than "satellite and radar data")

I'd be quite happy to believe they oversell its merits in public - that's bravado, not conspiracy!

mileysorearse · 02/04/2014 21:10

Me too Doctrine, they are good at bravado. Given the situation with Russia I wouldn't be surprised if they were looking entirely the other way at the time.

Lambstales · 02/04/2014 21:47

Hi Doctrine are you a patent attorney?

TheDoctrineOfSnatch · 02/04/2014 22:15

No, but I know a man who is Grin

Lambstales · 02/04/2014 22:38

How interesting..
Could I PM you ?

AchyFox · 03/04/2014 00:45

I fear your last admission may have perforated a broadly cylindrical container, encapsulating a plurality of substantially vermiform entities.Wink

TheDoctrineOfSnatch · 03/04/2014 08:08

Sure, but no promises!

TheDoctrineOfSnatch · 03/04/2014 08:11

Weather conditions clear today so fingers crossed.

Areas searched to date with today's planned area here

No PC planned for today, though a statement will be issued (probably just a recap of the Malaysian PM's visit to Australia).

Oh, come on. That poor woman is desperately clinging to hope. It's a recognised stage of grief. My mother spent months after my father's death imagining there had been a mistake.

Also, both those theories can't be true. The US govt wouldn't need to kidnap people working for a US company.

MsVelvet · 03/04/2014 12:45

yes may well be, but when you read through the threads for both come up with a lot of interesting stuff.

singersgirl · 03/04/2014 12:48

Yes, you realise that some people really like to let their imaginations run riot.

MsVelvet · 03/04/2014 12:49

No plane, no proof of anything. Fact. So any theory is fair game at the moment.

nauticant · 03/04/2014 12:56

In that case I'll go for UFO abduction.
