Then following on from that, why look for a electronic signal when a chemical analyst type of detector would sense the slightest trace of the seawater reacting with the materials the 777 is built from?
With a crime scene, reenactment is one way to gather evidence so why not study this flight by MH370 by duplicating the known evidence and learn from that?

this was cnn this morning
Well thats a relief, Hate for a plane to run out of fuel and be stuck up there :eek:Quote:

but that don't find that missing 777.
I got feeling they're barking up a wattle.
That doesn't surprise me at all. :DQuote:

Well bugger me .............. I always thought that it stopped a thousand feet up. :p
Just goes to show - any dropkick can get a job as a "journalist / reporter" these days. ;)
The media are struggling to meet the public's demand for information, when actually there isn't much to report.
Reminds me of the time I heard a well-known journo breathlessly tell his audience that "most of Australia's exports go overseas".
Well, there you go! I was tempted to email and ask him where the exports which DIDN'T go overseas actually went.
Can't wait to see what they actually say if and when they ever find the thing...:D
It's a very specialised bit of gear and requires a vessel appropriately equipped to tow it (v long cable). It's also something not required very often so there aren't heaps of them out there just sitting on a shelf....Quote:

As I say - even if it were possible.Quote:

And as has been mentioned elsewhere in this thread there is extremely limited data (evidence) to even guess as the location of where MH134 impacted the ocean.Quote:
