The Mystery of The Malaysia Airlines Flight 370... - Part 1

[Superwoman Prime]

Someone needs a nap.

 

[Feenix]

He's got a point. People are trying to find the plane. I don't see how that is a "dick measuring contest."

 

[Superwoman Prime]

Yeah. Nobody's truly going to forget there's a tragedy involved in the mystery. But I would guess that the criticisms here are more aimed toward the government suits than the hard-working personnel operating the vessels or military uniforms out coordinating teams.

Correct me if I'm wrong, charl and cyclone.

 

[Teelie]

Finding the plane means finding the bodies. Finding the bodies means the families can come to terms with the loss. Finding the plane also means a strong possibility of finding out what happened. It also puts to rest the need to keep theorizing over where it was and how it went down and why.

 

[charl_huntress]

By who exactly?

By the media. They are the people who hyped this tragedy to sensational levels and instilled an unreal sense of expectation regarding the whole tragedy to begin with.

These are mostly people just trying to actually do their jobs! Searching. analyzing data, informing the press. etc...
You don't know them.
Who the heck are you!

The people involved with the search are doing their job and they will continue to do their job until someone tells them to do something else. That's the nature of the beast. I'm just a person concerned they find the plane. Who are you? Do you know who you are?

You want them to show they "remember" the lives of the lost ones to satisfy you. What have you done. Like they owe you or need to show you anything about how they "remember". And how should they "remember" for you? Wear T-shirts and hats that say I remember , release doves into the air as they haul ass for days and nights on ships and planes circling vasts amounts of ocean. Why don't you spend a fortune printing out shirts and flags saying we remember, for everyone actually working to wear.

First off, lose the snark. I don't know why you even responded that way unless you wanted to start some ****. Again, I was talking about the media. No one needs to show me anything, but again I was talking about the media forgetting this tragedy in favor of the next big story. Maybe you can wear a t-shirt reminding the media not to forget this story in favor of the next ratings maker. That's now your job!

So you can see to your ridiculous satisfaction oh yes they remember. Or better take your magical yacht to the middle of nowhere and release a doves and flowers for the pres to see, so they can go - now there is the one beautiful special person who actually "remembers", isn't he freakin wonderful!. Not like those uncaring people actually working

Right, so now that they race to the location and put all efforts to find the ping before it dies out, you project onto their huge efforts and relentless work to find evidence that it's just a "dick measuring contest".

People

The only thing bigger than the missing plane is who will find it. It is a dick measuring contest for bragging rights. Unfortunately...that's just the nature of the beast.

He's got a point. People are trying to find the plane. I don't see how that is a "dick measuring contest."

For the country involves in the search it is a dick measuring contest on who finds the plane first.

Yeah. Nobody's truly going to forget there's a tragedy involved in the mystery. But I would guess that the criticisms here are more aimed toward the government suits than the hard-working personnel operating the vessels or military uniforms out coordinating teams.

Correct me if I'm wrong, charl and cyclone.

I am leveling criticisms at the countries involved and the media. The countries for not coordinating a proper search to begin with and the media for hyping this to levels of Earhart.

 

[Superwoman Prime]

I think that's like... a halfway correction... if by "countries" you mean their governments and not the ship crews and... never mind.

Charl. I henceforth mentally associate you with the act of measuring *****. Is that what you wanted all along?

 

[charl_huntress]

I think that's like... a halfway correction... if by "countries" you mean their governments and not the ship crews and... never mind.

Sorry... I should be more clear. The crews who are searching are doing their job and doing their very best. When I said countries I meant the decisions makers who are not on the ground, but responding to public pressure and media criticisms. If the "decision makers" involved had handled this differently I think the search would have been conducted differently.

This again is in no way a criticism against the people actually on the "ground" searching for the plane.

Charl. I henceforth mentally associate you with the act of measuring *****. Is that what you wanted all along?

Haha.... There are actually legit tests to measure the size of one Johnson's. No need to associate me with that.

I already know those tests.

 

[Hal_Jordan]

If this went out of the media now, before the plane was found people would be losing their minds and claiming how insensitive it was to just abandon the tragedy and forget all the lives lost.

At this point there has to be some sort of closure, so they keep looking for it. As much as some people want there to be, there's no ulterior motive and no glory from whoever finds the wreckage. It's just people doing their jobs to find closure to this tragedy. It's really as simple as that.

 

[Feenix]

It goes to show that you can't please everyone.

I know that the media takes stories like these and runs with them, inserting their own theories and ideas and masking them as "sources have said..." But, that's the media. They do that with everything and to think they would do anything else is naive.

I personally don't care who finds the plane or how they find it. Whatever brings closure to the families and shuts up all the conspiracy nuts is fine by me.

 

[charl_huntress]

Unfortunately due to the media and the readiness to run with stories that are uncredited and sensational.... There will never be closure because there will always be some grand conspiracy regarding this event that the media will continue to report.

 

[Feenix]

Until something else happens. Then they'll move on.

 

[charl_huntress]

There will be books, TV shows and movies... Everyone has a theory.

 

[Hal_Jordan]

Until something else happens. Then they'll move on.

Seriously. But I know I can't get away from the media still continuously talking about 2009's Air France Flight 447...oh wait, they don't.

 

[charl_huntress]

Until something else happens. Then they'll move on.

Or maybe they won't move on.... Some people...including the media like to hang on to things.... Forever and ever.

 

[JaD]

Hopefully this isn't a dumb question but does anyone know what happens if a plane hits the ocean with a direct impact? Does it just completely disintegrate? Or if it hits it an angle and not as much force? Those people didn't suffer did they?

I guess I'm trying to find some type of silver lining with this story and until we find some more answers we won't really know about how it crashed but I just hope that those people didn't suffer.

 

[charl_huntress]

I think it's really hard to say what happened. At this point until they find the black box we can assume anything happened. Hopefully the passengers and crew did not suffer.

There's not enough, or any, evidence at this point to know either way. But that isn't stopping people from making all kinds of ridiculous assumptions though.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Seriously. But I know I can't get away from the media still continuously talking about 2009's Air France Flight 447...oh wait, they don't.

To be fair this is much crazier than the Air France flight ever was.

 

[Hal_Jordan]

To be fair this is much crazier than the Air France flight ever was.

It's an almost identical situation.

2009: Air France Flight 447
The Airbus A330 took off from Rio de Janeiro en route to Paris on May 31, 2009. A few hours later, as it crossed the Atlantic, it told control center its position.

That was the last contact with the plane. Its last known position -- two to four days by ship from the nearest ports -- and the ocean's depth hindered searches.
It took almost two years before the bulk of the wreckage, the majority of bodies, and the voice and data recorders were recovered.

 

[Teelie]

The major difference between the two is how the Malaysia flight detoured and went wildly off course compared to Air France which mostly stuck to it's route.

 

[SuperJediHero]

How deep!

http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/page/world/the-depth-of-the-problem/931/?tid=sm_fb


Almost 3 miles! AKA 45 minutes - 1 hour of walking distance

 

[Teelie]

So no one's going to just be taking a swim to get the blackbox. Don't expect them to just fish it up quickly either.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Even if they find the location, it could take a year.

 

[SuperJediHero]

Not good, man. Reading the articles on news, no matter what there should've been at least some debris, but where are any of the debris?

 

[Thundercrack85]

Oceans are big. They have currents. It's been a month. The debris could be anywhere.
