Posted by timothy on from the for-want-of-a-nail dept.

New submitter Limekiller42 writes Malaysia's transport ministry released its preliminary report on the disappearance of MH370 that disappeared almost a year ago during flight and has yet to be located. The report states that the maintenance records for the solid state flight data recorder underwater locater beacon [indicate that its battery] expired in December of 2012 and there is no evidence it was replaced prior to aircraft going missing.

    "and the tail stand as tall as four giraffes."

    Is giraffes the new standard unit of height? I though they used elephants in asia.

    Anyway four giraffes aren't any higher than one giraffe - its not like they can stand on each others head.
