    Questions outside the TV box

    Just a thought, Why are they the searchers only about to use one ping detector when a multitude of ping detectors could be used to create a broad search sweep?

    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?

    nahh the pilots are usually pretty good at working out how to limp them back to the ground.

    Just like most series landy drivers are pretty good at keeping it going till it gets to a pub before giving up completely

    and they are very good at making landings you can walk away from....

    but that don't find that missing 777.

    I got feeling they're barking up a wattle.

    That doesn't surprise me at all.

    The other day, one of the news broadcasts was describing how the aerial search was called off for the day due to weather.

    The "journalist / reporter" (????) stated that it was raining heavily, and that the rain was "all the way down to the surface of the ocean".

    Well bugger me .............. I always thought that it stopped a thousand feet up.

    Just goes to show - any dropkick can get a job as a "journalist / reporter" these days.
    Cheers .........

    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.

    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....

    Umm no. Many of those chemicals would no doubt be in sea water fro all sorts of reasons. Besides that even if it WERE theoretically possible it would require the sensor to be close and down-current to the wreck / parts of the wreck. Much much less likely than other methods available. As I say - even if it were possible.

    There are numerous people fully engaged in doing exactly that. Looking at current patterns etc. Sadly without having a starting point as to where the flight actually hit the water, its not really possible to say where the floating wreckage would be. 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.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".
