Anyone can post here, so if they're not posting, it can't be added to an analysis and be correct.

Right now they are interviewing the guy who dove to the Titanic. He has some interesting things to say.
That's mainly due to Malaysia's superb communication.

Agreed. It's also more cost effective.

This topic has really morphed up the total of posts. Human curiosity is a natural trait and with all that has been reported, misreported and the amount of technology out there today it is so hard to believe that nothing has been really truly discovered after 30 days.

Everything has been over analyzed.............we are now grasping at oil slicks and the pilots cell phone.

Again, I think people like myself are so intrigued is because we have seen in the last several years with new and inovative technology it is almost impossible for anyone or anything to remain undetected epecially with radar, all those cellphones on the plane, engines reporting data and other things.

I do believe though if it had been coordinated better amongst all those involved county's it could have had better results. Taking 20 plus days to narrow it down on where to search might of been what sunk this mission from the beginning.

If fact is stranger than fiction, we might all be in for a big surprise when everything is known about that flight. Of course, we might not ever know it all, especially if the voice recorders are blank.

Agreed, but there is only country involved and that is Malaysia. Now of course, there are several countries involved but this was initially Malaysia's baby. I am not bashing, just speaking truth. They haven't even let go of the cargo PO in 5 weeks. To be honest. there is absolutely nothing saying this plane didn't have time to land somewhere and the identities of the passengers have been changed. There is nothing saying this plane is Morocco.

The rule of thumb is 48 hours. If some type of communication information is lost after 48 hours, it's gong to be a long haul. Anyone could still view this disappearance as a hijacking, UFO abduction, pilot suicide, co-pilot suicide, plane malfunctions, staged, stolen, food poisoning, battery erosion, exploding mango or fire at this point and still have footing. Very Sad.

How could the identities of the passengers be changed without their accepting the same? Stealing identities has become very easy for criminal, forcing an identity change upon someone else? Just how would that work?

If two passengers can have passports from a different country and board the plane..with fake identities, anything is possible. It's not like this hasn't happened before with this airline.

I don't mean to be too vocal here.. but I thought about this and had to laugh. Accepting? Really? I don't think it would have anything to do along the lines of "accepting". In other words, I don't see Mastercard or Visa interfering with charges/names not validated.
