Exactly why I think it's on the ground or in a hangar. Even bodies or parts thereof would have been found within two weeks of a ditch.

Are you seeing any search activity in the Bay of Bengal where GeoResonance claims they found something?

Well, the image by GeoResonance seems to indicate an intact plane. Also, as we now know, the ocean is full of junk.

45,000 feet wouldn't be high enough to cause a loss of the amount of oxygen needed to survive. The cabin altitude would've been maybe 10,000 feet or so.

As far as your second point, point taken.

The pilots can de-pressurize the cabin leaving the cabin altitude 45,000 feet.

Am I the only one who is starting to think that this will be one of the great unsolved mysteries of all time?

It went up to 45,000 before dropping really low.

Look at the lighter-colored shape within the circle.
