If the signal stops that needle in a haystack gets even smaller.
At 5,000m depth that means that there will be 0% possibility of finding it. |

Like I said earlier guys... this plane is lost and gone for ever like clementine. On other news: emc2 just got listed on mintapl. next stop 5k satoshi  |

So not a probe but a song?  Not heard of either before. |

 Maybe we need cats to go look.. they might actually find something |

Good news: The signal had been heard in sea with a depth of 4,500m, he added, which was at the limit of the capability of the Bluefin 21.  |

Hmm.. right now that theory seems to be the most reliable one. |

Exactly what makes you say that ? Whether the plane exploded midair, crashed vertically or ditched, the black boxes and 99% of the plane would still end up at the bottom of the ocean. There isnt much in a plane that floats and remains floating for a month, and those parts that do are microscopic compared to the vastness of the ocean and could have drifted hundreds of Km further by now. That we havent found debris by no means proves the plane is mostly intact. Ditching isnt much of a theory anyway, since it explains nothing. If the plane was still under control by the crew, why would the pilots fly it completely off course to the middle of nowhere for 7 or whatever hours? |

Good news indeed!
May be it is possible to triangulate the signal like we do on land with cell signal towers, and find the plane in a few days. Recovery will take years, but we really need to pinpoint the plane before it is too late.

So the black boxes stop pinging after 30 days and we only start looking for them ~25 days into the search? Doesn't sound like a very smart thing to do IMO.

Earlier it wasn't known that the MH370 has strayed in to that part of the Indian Ocean. That information came later, and the search was organized as quickly as possible. Now with the black-box pings, the search area has been reduced drastically, and hopefully we'll be able to recover the flight data recorder soon enough. |

They were looking for them but the location they were looking at was wrong due to to multiple factors, after corrections they are manging to find the ping, it will take months if not years to get them back from to the surface if it is a 4-8 Kms water deap area |

So, there is 600 km between the two locations where Chinese and Australians heard pings. How is that possible? Max detection range of a submerged transmitter installed on the black box doesn't even come close to that - it can barely reach 5, maybe 10 km at best.

Ships with better detection capabilities are heading towards the are we will know soon enough which location is the correct one

Hmm.. right now that theory seems to be the most reliable one. Except it does not factor in one important thing what the heck happened to the people Unless they went down with the ship airplane which would be a bit unusual Then again if the plane landed relatively intact in the water, it would immediately start to sink, giving those on board little time to escape - into waters of around 8 degrees in a remote region with no immediate hope of rescue. That would be awful. http://www.smh.com.au/world/missing-malaysia-airline-jet-ocean-debris-would-depend-on-angle-speed-experts-20140409-zqsg6.html#ixzz2yMTaSHlc |

Did they find the black box? I Think they said it would be out of energy by today or yesterday and if it's isn't found it wouldn't send any more signals and possibly never be found.

Underwater acoustics is weird and complicated. The very same signal may only be detectable for a few km under some circumstances or many thousands of km in others (google for Deep Sound Channel). |
