i was talking to some one involved in the search (i wont say any more than that).
They don't believe the plane crashed where they are looking and they don't believe that the black box that will be found will be the actual black box (or it will be the box but with new info on it). i found this surprising that even people like him were saying this (i couldn't see a tin foil hat but it could have been concealed) i think in 50 years, people will look back and say how could you guys have been so gullible - I think most people agree that what ever happened to it, the US govt was involved - besides all the evidence (circumstantial or not), their past track record tends to indicate that something like this is not beyond them : 1. The Gulf of Tonkin Incident - yeah, didnt quite happen, but gave them a reason to kick things off in vietnam 2) Pearl Harbor: not quite a suprise attack - I wonder what would have happened to FDR if the media at the time could prove that he new they were coming and what they were going to do and didnt warn the poor guys in pearl harbour (i guess if 3000 didnt matter then, a couple of hundred on a plane wouldnt matter now) 3. Sinking of the Lusitania - I guess the 50 advertisements that germany took out in US newspapers warning that there was a war in Europe and that ships carrying arms would be targeted didnt find there way to the people in charge (or based on memos from the likes of winston church hill, they specifically sent them full of civilians and arms so they would be sunk and draw the US into the war due to civilian casualties ) - hey it was only 4 million rounds and a few tons of explosives - only 1200 sacrificed on that one to get the US into a war. 4 U.S.S. Maine Explodes - 1898, did some one leave the furnace door open and acidentaly set the ship on fire - nah, it was the spanish, lets go invade (liberate) Guam, Puerto Rico, Philippines etc (dont forget War of 1812, Mexican-American war and even the civil war all of which were spruked on mistruths to get things going) then you have the recent ones like WMD's in Iraq or did that have something to do with 911 - who cares. Afghanistan, wait - of the 19 bad guys,15 were citizens of Saudi Arabia. The others were from the UAE (2), Egypt and Lebanon. yeah but bin laden was hiding there right? well, he might have been at some stage. now where is my tin foil hat - BTW i love Americans, greatest people in the world - Just think their political system needs a bit of fixing - then again most Americans i meet think this also |

Whats the latest? They said 6-8 weeks for the Bluefin to search the area they narrowed down after the batteries went dead. So another 4 weeks yet.

Bluefin has finished searching the area they set. Found nothing. Now they are going to search a larger area with different equipment. Air search is finished.

Not one miniscule piece of physical evidence, no oil slick, no flotsam, nothing.
Our military have done a great job, however I think it is time to accept that the plane isn't and never was in the Indian Ocean. The past +50 days has stunk of of incompetence and conspiracy, the stench is now overpowering. |

Just had to check whether I was on Australian Ford Forums or PPRUNE, otherwise known as Panic Prune.
Just checking.

after reading this post last night i did a bit of my own investigating - basically trying to find out if there is any truth to some of the "conspiracy theories" going around regarding the plane - hey its better than spending the night watching big brother or my kitchen rules (or what ever passes for entertainment these days)
I am not going to post my findings because i will come across like a full crazy (i am only a half crazy) but if you have a few hours to kill, start at the The Carlyle Group and work back from there - very interesting. Focus on ownership, subsidiaries, customers and the products/services they offer. its an eye opener and its all on their own websites - i guess people dont care. these guys must **** them selves laughing when its election time |

My guess: there was someone or something on that plane USA Inc. wanted without any public scrutiny over their actions, means and methods.

Stolen Russian nuclear materials. Plane was hijacked to stop them falling into terrorists possession.

Funny thing is, push any of these idiots who like to cut and paste into something technical and their house of cards falls down. I remember there was a website setup called "pilots for 911 truth" which was supposed to be alleged airline pilots stating that what happened on that day was not physically possible. (Have done it in a Boeing 744 sim, despite the multitude of warnings it handled it easy). When I pushed the author of the site for his employment history I was banned from the site, and after a little research found out that there is in fact no airliner pilots on the site, in fact the founder who claims several thousand hours only has time in single and twin piston aircraft with a commercial pilots licence and an IFR rating. No one there even has an ATPL. Now, crazies are gonna be crazy but this retard has been on CNN spreading his ill founded nonsense such as the engine part on Murray Street NYC; of which he claims to be a CFM56 from a 737, not a CF6 from a 767, as the 767 has a 2 metre diameter engine, and this was only over 1 metre. This disingenuous moron is given credibility on something that is so patently obvious to anyone who's ever been on an airplane, and yet his crap is broadcast around the world. To be perfectly honest, this fat bastard is nothing short of a terrorist sympathiser, for he is doing the terrorists work for them making Americans suspicious of their government and a conspiracy at the time. Seriously, to stop all the conspiracy theories they should make available 24 hour reruns of star trek, doctor who and the movie weird science to keep all the pimple-laden basement-dwelling virgins off the interwebz.

Do you think they are looking in the right area? Did you think the first search area in the IO was possible given its range. |

It's in the ocean. Or some thick rainforest.
Hell, they're still finding wrecks of large planes from WW2 in dense forests around Indonesia when people stumble across them. As for the ocean, enough said. It swallows even large boats and ships every year, some never heard from again, even in quite heavily trafficked sea lanes. |

What I do know is, that the FAA, Boeing and Rolls Royce have not grounded the 777 or the Trent 800, so you can draw your own conclusions from that. For instance, after QF32 all Trent 900 a/c were ostensibly grounded and both Scarebus and Rolls put out recommendations for ground checks. As Rolls had the engine data until the end of the flight and Boeing had limited ACARS, I think the investigators aren't too concerned about a reliability issue. As for the range to the IO, depends on how much was on board at the time and very largely on the weather.

Angus Houston thinks they're searching in the right area but hey let's listen to and believe every crackpot theory instead.

Simple fact, and there's very very few actual facts available, is that there is still not one piece of physical evidence of this aircraft going down in the Indian Ocean. How long do people blindly accept what they're told before they start to question it? Considering how vague the 'handshakes' locations/directions are, the official theory is just as much of a crackpot theory as any others. I hope they find it, for the families sakes. It must be hell for them. |

Also, with respect to your 'fact' (which is quite true, of course) the way you have worded this implies that because we haven't found anything, we must be looking in the wrong place. Another 'fact', which you omitted, is that there is no evidence of the aircraft being located in any other spot than where they are looking. The search area, based on what we do know, is considered to be the most likely location. So where else would you propose we look instead? Craig H

Or the Bay of Bengal? Where an Australian company believes they've found evidence of it on the sea floor? Both are areas that are a far more logical direction for a hijacked aircraft than the middle of the Indian Ocean thousands of Kay's from anywhere. |

You need to apply your diligent sceptical enquiry towards the company GeoResonance and their claims. How do they achieve the miracle of detecting elements like aluminium ~500m underwater using multispectral imaging? The only way that could be done is by suspending the laws of physics. Investigators will have looked at these claims and found they don't stack up.

Would someone please call Tony Abbott and tell him to stop muckin' about wasting all our taxpayer money on the search and log on here, because we have more experts than he does.
