Ok, ya know how they dragged a REMUS 6000 to map the ocean floor? Well when they start up again next month, I heard they plan on dragging 4 of those radar map things, to cover 4 times as much area in 1 pass.
The missing plane
Sort:
A 370 widow from New Zealand was offered a settlement of $64,000 IF she filled out a questionnaire. She decided to talk a Lawyer before taking a decision. The Lawyer said no. I assume their is a "confidentiality" agreement regarding the questionnaire.
Those asian countries whose plane and responsibility it was, have any of them lifted one finger to look for it lately? Let me check my thread blocking pulse. Uhhhhhh no!
Goodonya Australia and U.S. for being the only ones. As usual!
It had nothing to do with it bishop. It was probably the size of the generous offer.

Very much so. Particularly that miniscule print that reads "innocently" in circular fashion.
the contents of the questionnaire has me curious. The're just grasping at straws for good P,R. I'm not blaming them for not looking, they just don't have the ability.
Well China has the ability. They don't spend, reimberse, or forgive a dime for Western efforts. And they don't spend but a fraction on defense compared to the U.S. Yet have plenty of naval assets. Building multiple numbers of aircraft carriers as we speak.
Can't these worthless Chinese just hack and steal our D.S.R.V. Technology? Then hack and steal our get off your ass and do something philosophy? God knows they've hacked and stolen everything else.
UPDATE! We've had 2 more mysterious plane crashes in the last yr. The Malaysia one, and now the German Airbus over the French Alps.
WELL; The New York Times just threw a wrench in the machine. I can't imagine any reporter with a moral compass, at the Times or CNN, who would report that. Weather its true or not, Its TOooo early to say that until all the facts are in.
Its just my opinion, but the New York Times may have just committed a criminal act.
Ok, maybe I was wrong.
A number of authorities are now saying the co-pilot DELIBERATELY crashed the plane. This is just gonna produce a lot of anger from the next of kin.

Don't get ahead of yourself here.
A Chinese businessman bought an old NATO country's carrier (I think it was US, I don't remember) supposedly to make it into a floating restaurant. Then he turned it over to the Chinese navy, who started making it a warship again. Of course, he was never reimbursed for his 10 million or so he personally spent to buy the carrier.
@RJC - yeah, the co-pilot brought the plane down. Terrorism or suicide, that's the question.

All over the British press Ronald... Was a deliberate act... Pilot tried to get back into the cockpit... Looks like Europe will adopt U.S.A. policy of two personnel in the cockpit at one time.
About time, too.
This may cause a lot of good changes, including real time streaming so they won't have to look for black boxes. Cameras in the cockpit maybe

I still think there needs to be an emergency override from ground base to take over the plane if such a situation like this comes up.
I'm not sure how feasible this is. Are you suggesting that air traffic control be able to remote-control the airliners in event of an emergency? If so, which air traffic control? Or are you suggesting the creation of new monitoring bases?
Also, then these ground stations could be used to kill people too.
I think he means ground control should be able to confirm identity to open the cockpit doors.
I feel bad for the parents of the co-pilot. The're being secured 24/7
So we're all hearing reports about the co-pilot seeing a doctor for something. Some say depression, some say an eye ailment, whatever. His reaction was SOooo dis-proportional to the problem. (kind of like trolls in here). Most people get fired, they go home with a bottle of Scotch and say, Oh well. Even if the doctor said, You've got 3 months to live. He choose to kill 150 people because of that?
Kayknight; CNN was talking about just that. In the U.S., you can sue for "unlimited damages"--a few million, based on the notion that That's what they might of earned had they lived. But Germany has a cap on damages. $160,000. per passenger. Their defense is gonna be, "we didn' know". Had we'd known, we would of grounded him IMMEDIATETLY. I don't mean this the wrong way but, the only good thing is not a lot of funeral and burial expenses because there's nothing to bury. Bits and pieces of a few bodies. The company has already changed the're policy about having 2 people in the cockpit at all times.
