Interesting - where on the aircraft is it to be located & will the crew have access?

update..

BEIJING — A robotic submarine dove into the ocean to look for lost Flight 370 for a third time Wednesday while the head of a British water wreckage recovery firm says he believes searchers have homed in on the location of the plane.

The Bluefin-21 has successfully completed its 1st full mission on its 3rd attempt while collected oil samples are now being tested in Perth.

That's what the news has been all along; no news. At least China and the other pretenders are staying out of the way now. China has shown itself to be a joke with its satellite pictures and picking up pings of nothing. In the end this is going to prove to be very embarrassing for some.

They reprogrammed the submersible to go deeper with a "small but acceptable" level of risk. Who's paying for this anyway?

Thanks Wiggo,

CNN, said today the cost was about 234 million dollars.?

Think they should search another part of the Indian Ocean.

Robotic submarine makes first successful scan of seabed 4.5km deep in search for MH370

Bluefin-21 drone completes 16 hour mission 2,000km off Australian coast
Data is now being analysed for any traces of the missing jet liner
Depth of search area is at the limit of Bluefin-21's operational capabilities
Two previous missions had to be aborted due to technical problems
It is now over 40 days since the flight with 239 people on board disappeared
Initial analysis of data showed it had not detected anything significant

Time runs out to find MH370: Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott concedes the search will soon have to stop

We must not forget that not one scintilla of the flight has been found, not one seat cushion or oil slick. At this point in time with the black box no longer pinging there is no urgency to spend money especially with Malaysia and China playing games with the facts. OZ is large and in charge, most likely for the bill too.

Latest news on the search.

"Reassess" is the word; that means starting over from scratch with a new set eyes looking at everything. Something is still not right. How did they go from we found two sets of pings and will find the wreckage "in the not too distant future" to having to start over? This time with the pingers dead for sure.

There is one fact that we know.
A skunk stinks.
There is something about this whole episode that smells of skunk.
It might be an unexplainable event in the annals of human aeronautics.
There is just too much left unexplained in this day and age of espionage.
Satellites can track my cell phone to within a few meters. And they have no tracking of any cell phone on that plane except a possible cell ping from the copilot's cell phone? What about the passengers' cells. Yeah, they all followed instructions and turned them off, eh?

And satellite data. There are satellites that cover every inch of this planet with amazing clarity.
Trust me, I know. The NSA, with warrants, can track me from here to work and back again to assure I do not stray from my approved territory. In a 1990 Olds Cutlass Ciera, not equipped with a black box. Or at least not so far as I no...I must crawl under to check again.

I am not in the mood to go into any theories at the moment, I am still postulating what could or could not have happened. Reassess, is still ongoing on my part.

Reminded me of a picture I posted in a different thread

Investigators have also determined that the missing jet was equipped with four emergency locator transmitters, or ELTs. When triggered by a crash, they are designed to transmit their location to a satellite.

The ELTs were located at the plane's front door, its rear door, in the fuselage and in the cockpit, said the source, who was puzzled over why they appear either not to have activated or, if they did activate, why they were not picked up by the satellite.

Malaysia Airlines, just released the info a day ago.

Maybe they are not as good at finding a needle in a haystack as they thought. Tracking someone or something over land between known points is a whole lot different than tracking objects over, on or under the world's oceans. Satellites do not watch every square inch of this planet every minute of every day. It takes several days to weeks to get up to date detailed information about a set of coordinates that were of no interest previously. Spy satellites have to be repositioned so as to fly over a specified location which burns limited valuable fuel. And so far no one has any idea where to aim the cameras. Otherwise there would be no drug smuggling or high sea piracy.

Oh, you are quite innocent in believeing that satellites do not watch every single inch of this earth 24/7. I happen to know otherwise.

They just are not quite ready to admit that they do just yet.
Every inch, 24/7. Trust me on this. You think I can sneak out for a brew or a smoke without them knowing....LOL...NOT.

Do you really think that our government does not have a clue where an airliner went down in deep waters? Oh, I assure you, they know the precise location.
They are just hoping the searchers dance around it long enough until they either run out of money or patience. Our government knows down to an inch where that plane is. To a freaking inch, how deep and how it dove in.
Without a doubt. I know they do. What I do not know, is why. Why ditch an airliner in the sea and pretend it is not there to find? No terrorist threats to crow about. Nothing to start a war over. What I do NOT understand is any motive so far.

I'm sorry Msattler but I think you've been sniffing to much catnip. But since there is no way you can prove to me your claim and I can't prove mine we will leave things where they are and move on.

Mark a giant government conspiracy would involve lots of people. It is hard for people to keep secrets short term, and even harder for people to keep secrets long term. I find it highly improbable that there is a giant government cover-up involving this tragic incident simply because I do not think it would be possible to keep the location of that plane, were it known, secret for very long.

And they have no tracking of any cell phone on that plane except a possible cell ping from the copilot's cell phone?

When we visit Eric's parents in the wilds of Wisconsin, we get very poor cell coverage. I imagine it is even worse in the middle of the ocean!

Considering that it took 2 years to find wreck of the Air France plane that crashed off Brazil and they knew where it had crashed, I doubt they will find the Malaysian plane soon as they still are not sure where abouts it did crash.

...they still are not sure where abouts it did crash.

Why do you say it "crashed"; do you know something the rest of us don't?
