U.S. Investigators Suspect Missing Airplane Flew On for Hours

There was nothing.

They had multiple pictures of stuff, what was it?

I believe you, just reading all these stories with no follow up is annoying.

Point and click media sucks.

And to the other person, yes, I had wondered about government coverups and bad cooperation. I guess I'm not moving to Malaysia now.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (CBS News/CBSDC/AP) — Search planes dispatched Thursday to examine an area where Chinese satellite images showed what might have been debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 found nothing, officials told CBS News.

The Malaysian Air Force director of operations told CBS News in Kuala Lumpur that planes sent up based on the Chinese satellite images from Sunday, the day after Flight 370 went missing south of Vietnam, had located no debris.

Later Thursday, Malaysian civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman reiterated the latest bad news in the search for the plane. “There is nothing. We went there, there is nothing,” he told reporters.

Separately, a Reuters journalist who was on board a Vietnamese search aircraft dispatched to the same area Thursday, said no debris was spotted.

Oh joy! Thank you!

Out of the thousands of troubling issues about this flight, there are two that come to mind that should trouble everyone. Everyone knows about the so-called black boxes that hold the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder. These are the boxes they always look for after a plane crash. The technology has been there for years that would enable that data to be transmitted to a data center in real time. However, because so many groups in the world are pissy about privacy concerns, they have never been allowed to create it.

The other thing are those triple redundant transponders. Why on earth should a pilot have the ability to disable it in the first place? The "experts" all agree that there are only two reasons for them to stop broadcasting. 1: Catastrophic explosion or crash, 2: A human physically disabled it. There is no good reason to ever disable it, and if it is disabled it means they are deliberately trying to hide.

You have to wonder though. The image was from Sunday and it's now Thursday. I wonder how long it takes a ton of metal to sink.

There is so much we could do with existing technology, and this isn't limited to aviation, if people would simply accept that privacy is no longer real. Privacy is dead but we're all in collective denial about it.

Indian Navy, Coast Guard join search for Malaysia Airline plane in Andaman Sea

The search for the Boeing 777-200ER, which had 239 people on board, will cover an area of 130x130 nautical miles, or roughly 35,000sqkm, in the south Andaman Sea.

The western extremity of the area is about 60 nautical miles east of Campbell's Bay.

Three ships designated for patrolling the area are the INS Kumbhir, which is a landing ship tank medium (LSTM), the INS Saryu, an offshore patrol vessel, which has already sailed out, and the Coast Guard's ICGS Kanaklata Barua.

The INS Saryu and the Coast Guard vessel are from Port Blair in the Andamans.

Two Dornier aircraft, one each of the Navy and the Coast Guard, have joined the search from the air.

A long-range maritime patrol craft P8i has taken off from Arakonam in Tamil Nadu.

The search operation is being directed from the maritime operations centre in Delhi headed by the deputy chief of naval staff, Vice-Admiral P.K. Chatterjee.

The searchers will have to primarily rely on binoculars, since radar is not effective for such cases.

Time to start water boarding the Malaysian officials.

Torture is not effective, just ask John McCain.

Time to start water boarding the Malaysian officials.

A person will admit to anything under torture. How about we let them conduct their investigation before we start asking for heads to roll.

USS Kidd sent to Indian Ocean after ‘indication’ of Malaysian jet crash

Following days of mystery, the United States has stepped forward and announced that authorities have seen an "indication" that the Malaysia Airlines jetliner may actually have crashed into the Indian Ocean.

A senior Pentagon official said to ABC that the USS Kidd is moving into the area to kick off a search.

"We have an indication the plane went down in the Indian Ocean," the official said, to ABC.

That comes on the heels of a report that found the plane may actually have flown between four and five hours after it disappeared from radar.

The announcement also comes just after Malaysian authorities said they expanded their search to the Andaman Sea for missing plane parts and asked for India to lend a helping hand. The plane was carrying 239 passengers when it went missing.

They've had enough time to prove their incompetency. They are either stupid, or deliberately trying to thwart finding this aircraft. These are not the days of Amelia Earhart, but these Malay goons would like everyone to believe it were.

Dude seriously? If you can do this investigation better than the folks over there, hop on a flight and show them how it's done.

The US, UK, France, and other European countries are better equipped to handle this. They just need to step aside and let the best countries take the lead. They are not cooperating and are conducting secret meetings where the international investigators are not briefed or included. They proved their incompetency to the world time and again since this plane disappeared.

Marvin, you might be the only person left on the planet defending the way the Malaysian government has run the SAR operation. Even the Malays on Twitter have abandoned them!
