Australia Elaborates On a New Drift Model To Find MH370
hcs_$reboot writes Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared on Saturday, 8 March 2014, while flying from Malaysia to Beijing with 239 people on board. And 8 months later, after millions of dollars invested in a gigantic search operation, there is still no sign of the aircraft. Now, Australia is developing a new model to predict where the debris of the missing MH370 could wash up. Authorities had initially predicted that the plane's wreckage could drift and come ashore on Indonesia's West Sumatra island after about 4 months of Flight MH370's disappearance. "We are currently working... to see if we can get an updated drift model for a much wider area where there might be possibilities of debris washing ashore," search co-ordinator Peter Foley told reporters in Perth.
A story about a model under development which may or may not lead ... to something? You call this news?
Here's an idea: next time something this "newsworthy" comes up, don't post it!
MH370 again, this isn't just obsession, it's extreme obsession, this level of obsession is bizarre, why are officials feeding it? The plane is gone, it's past time to get over it - I don't mean the relatives, I mean the officials and media who are feeding this thing.

And she's got to be in her late 90s by now.
Maybe they shouldn't assume that it is debris. Its in one piece perhaps.
Also its a government gig.
This means they can spend forever using resources and personnel on this task without having to be accountable for the worthless results. In fact, their incentive is not to find it, else they'll have to go back to work doing the really important stuff: floating around in circles, looking at nothing, and taking orders all day. Furthermore, If they really wanted to find it they'd be looking near Bermuda, not Australia. How can we take them seriously if they're ignoring the Indian and the Atlantic Oceans, and the Bermuda Triangle.
The flight was kidnapped by extraterrestrials via a small black hole. CNN even said so!

It seems to me that the notion of a passenger jet "disappearing" in this age of "total information awareness" is absolutely ridiculous and far beyond the realm of plausibility. The only logical explanation I can think of is that the powers that be are testing the general gullibility of the global population, and the effectiveness of the mainstream news media in convincing the public to accept - and BELIEVE - a story that is utterly unbelievable, simply by repeating it over and over again.
At the very least, the US Military (and CIA/NSA) all know exactly where the plane is, and what happened to it. I would expect that Malaysia, India, and China know as well. Search co-ordinator Peter Foley and his Australian team might save themselves a great deal of time and money by searching any large structures adjacent to the runway on Diego Garcia for starters.
There is more to this than meets the eye. This is not just about a missing plane. There are occult reasons as to why this is a big deal and why they are hyping it like this. But that is another big story.
If, as seems likely, MH370 was hijacked rather that suffering mechanical trouble, then it is also likely that it didn't crash. The hijacked ditched it, relatively intact. For a parallel, think of the plane that ditched in the Hudson.
And ditched means little or no debris to float away. That's why none was found by air searchers. It's why none is likely to drift onto beaches. It's also probably why the emergency beacons on the plane weren't triggered.
This is CNN
you tube videos already explain the conspiracy perfectly
There is nothing ordinary about any of this, and there are no traces of the plane anywhere. Passenger jets don't vanish into thin air without leaving any traces. It is obviously sitting in a hangar somewhere waiting to be repurposed for something else, which we can only speculate about. You won't find it by looking at the sea.
Fact is, once a plane leaves airspace and the immediate neighbourhood, nobody cares. Military systems are looking for entirely different things to air traffic control. And planes crash and change course all the time. We lose ships all the time too - especially if they've been hijacked by pirates.
happy new year
Never find it near Australia, just a diversion.
Flight path took it near highly contested area, the Spratly Islands, where it went to
zero elevation. Likely shot down by China.
Interestingly the last communication was hand off to Vietnamese Airspace in proximity to islands.
Another shoot down with similar characteristics but this time with Russia not too long there after.
Makes you wonder if there are dirty tricks with some tie in to the Malaysian military junta and some secret services.
Interesting as well is that Australia has a strong strategic security tie in with the NSA.
It's the beginning moves between the US and an emerging Eurasian economic zone based on Russian and Iranian natural gas petrodollars.
While they may never find what happened to MH370, the search for it is leading to detailed mapping of an area of the ocean floor that was little explored. And now we're getting better mathematical models of the ocean currents. So while I know there's been a lot of criticism of continuing what seems like a fruitless search, the money isn't being wasted.
We may never find what happened to that aircraft, but we will have expanded our oceanographic knowledge of that area immensely.
Still looking in the wrong area.
Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad.[18] He said: "Clearly Boeing and certain agencies have the capacity to take over uninterruptible control of commercial airliners of which MH370 B777 is one". In this statement he was referring to off-board hijackers with access to MH370's Flight Management System via the 2003 patented Uninterruptible Autopilot.
"If any question why we died, Tell them because our fathers lied."
How can you hope to write a drift model that with any accuracy when you have no clue where the plane crashed? ..just wondering..
I'm assuming this model will be able to find every lost object ever and end world hunger.
In the weeks after the plane went missing I've spent hours looking at satellite images at tomnod.com, but later found out they were supplying images of the wrong areas. They were based on unreliable eye witness accounts of people who had claimed to have seen the plane.
I was annoyed that they kept wasting my time, even after it became clear that those witnesses couldn't have seen MH370 at all. But I would still invest time if they would supply significant images, of the area and during the time where it's most likely been. It's still possible that MH370 was photographed while it was still in the air.
This is not the sig you're looking for.
They should have the AGW folks help out with their model; those folks are dead on everytime.......
seriously everyone was like "well if they didnt crash it into something what could they possibly hvae wanted with a commercial air liner"
i suspect the answer is the $50 million or so the plane is worth could be a motivating factor. the plane was obviously stolen by people with advanced knowledge aviation
MH370 crashed in Ukraine.

There are other avenues for spending all this money with higher expected impact on safety.

Everyone has been enamored with the diatribe of an intentional (and silly) - "lets hijack to antartica" bit of BS, instead of acknowledging the more probable (and equally unfortunate) probability of a problem leading to a crash into mountainous jungles following mechanical issues.
Wait: OMG, Im posting something counter to LOGIC! It must be wrong

And if I am wrong I am no more wrong than all the "experts" in the previous months who caused millions of dollars to be wasted by looking in the wrong place.
It was landed on the sea surface over the deepest part of the ocean as far south as possible, because that is the only point that makes sense, they would get the biggest impact from it vanishing, or staying lost for as long as possible, because after all it was a form of terrorism (politically motivated violence).
