I thought black boxes had tracking devices on them which helped investigators find the location of the crash?

[mota bhai 2,675]

I thought so too. I am sure the devil lies in the technical details of the device.

What's more troubling was that two people boarded the plane using stolen passports. This sounds like an act of terrorism.

Not necessarily. There is a huge trade in stolen travel documents, the vast majority of them aren't using it to commit acts of terror.

Planes don't just disintegrate. Something's fishy.

They will find the plane eventually, and if it was a bomb that brought it down, there will be residue on the debris that identifies the type of explosive used, which also has a special signature.

You suspect a financial start up in New York had something to do with the disappearance of a 777-200 in Asia?

Possible debris field found for missing Malaysia jet

Hong Kong’s Civil Aviation Department confirmed on Monday a report of a large amount of debris spotted off the coast of Vietnam as initially reported by a Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The report was published by The Aviation Herald, an authoritative source of aviation incidents.

....

As part of the search, the United States said it searched imagery taken by its satellites for a midair explosion in an effort to determine whether the missing jet may have disintegrated while in flight; however, the US reported they did not find any evidence of a midair explosion in the area.

INTERPOL Chief Scolds Security Authorities For Not Routinely Using Stolen, Lost Passport Database

By: Anthony Kimery

In the wake of the sudden and unprecedented disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH 370, INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble has been critical of global aviation security authorities for not routinely checking INTERPOL’s stolen and lost passport database against airline passengers.

Flight MH 370 -- a Boeing-777 carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew, inexplicably vanished without a trace Saturday at 12:41 AM about 40 minutes after taking off from Kuala Lumpur over the seas between Malaysia and Vietnam. The plane was cruising at 35,000 feet in what reportedly was good weather and had given no indication of problems.

INTERPOL confirmed that at least two passports -- Austrian and Italian -- recorded in its Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD) Database, were used by passengers on board the missing Malaysia Airlines flight.

INTERPOL said the Austrian and Italian passports were added to the SLTD database after their theft in Thailand in 2012 and 2013. INTERPOL said it is also conducting checks on all other passports used to board flight MH 370 which may also have been reported stolen.
