Malaysia Airlines plane missing with 239 on board

[Earnest]

Are you sure, Aardy? Try tilting the globe a bit.

Having said that, readers, he may have a point. Maybe the wreckage is drifting toward Africa or has already got there.








I'm glad we're mates, again Aardy. Tell the gang at Udon Talk to man up - I ain't coming back.

Enjoying myself here.

Since when weren't we mates Earnest ?? Any way, Western Australia is left of the Eastern States and the Northern Territory is above the West. Indonesia would be North West of Australia. If Wreckage were to wash toward the West Australian Coastline it would encounter the Leeuwin Currant and if it never made landfall there, would be swept South East with the Current and end up most likely in Tasmania. If it failed to make Landfall in Tassy it would possibly be swept into either the Southern Ocean or the Pacific and may even reach Land as far away as New Zealand .... I think ...... http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q= ... 0786,d.dGc

It seems everyone assumes that there is wreckage?
What if it managed to land and the fuselage remained intact?
Very unlikely, but a possibility!
The wings etc, would eventually sink.... as so would the Fuselage
But even then, the escape slides would have been deployed?
Now, so long ago, yet not one piece of material has been sighted.
It's been stated that 99.99 %, the aircraft will be located. IMO dont think so

Well it's a year this week since MH370 disappeared and we don't seem to be any the wiser. Perhaps one of our sandgroper posters can advise if searchers are still searching off Western Australia.

Did you read the Simon Hardy position estimates on where the aircraft may have gone down? He hasn't solved it but it's an interesting read, GT.

If it has already reached African Shores I'll bet there is a Whole village already living in The Fuselage

Thanks for the interesting link Earnest. Are you back in farangland yet?

Perhaps you are up in Nong Khai trying to track down 747man to give him a pre-Songkran soaking with your AK47 watergun?

A very interesting and plausible read from Simon Hardy......
Earnest aka "Matron" to a select few of former Special Forces personnel here in Udon flies back to the UK today after receiving information that Henley-on-Thames is being encircled by muslim insurgents !
He will be back,certainly early next year,to partake in the Khon Kaen road races on 24th January 2016.
He did a couple of 6 milers around Nong Prajak earlier this week with me to ensure he maintains his peak fitness !

Anyway,its a year on Sunday since MH370 went missing.....where it ended up,who knows ?

Flight MH370 a year on: Lost without a trace – but the search goes on (The Independent)

It is a year since the aircraft disappeared, but investigators remain hopeful of finding it
Simon Calder Thursday 05 March 2015

"A harrowing 12 months of uncertainty and sorrow” – that is how Australia’s Prime Minister yesterday described the suffering of the families of passengers and crew lost aboard flight MH370.
In the parliament in Canberra, Tony Abbott told relatives: “We are taking every reasonable step to bring your uncertainty to an end.” But he hinted that if the present phase of the hunt for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet proves fruitless, it may be scaled back. “I cannot promise that the search will go on at this intensity forever,” he said.
A year ago tomorrow, 227 passengers – 152 of them Chinese citizens – checked in for a routine departure from Kuala Lumpur, destination Beijing. Twelve crew were assigned to the flight, which was to depart shortly after midnight on 8 March. Four passengers failed to check in, while two of the people who did fly were Iranian nationals travelling on stolen passports.
The last contact with the Boeing 777 MH370 took place at 1.19am, local time, when the captain signed off from Malaysian air-traffic controllers with the words “Good Night Malaysian three seven zero”. It took a further six hours before the airline told the world that one of its aircraft was missing. Initially the jet was assumed to have crashed in the South China Sea towards to the southern tip of Vietnam.
Yet ground-breaking analysis of fragmentary “pings” picked up by Inmarsat showed that the plane was still flying at the time the loss was announced. It was deduced to be flying along one of two corridors: north-west across southern China and Central Asia towards the Caspian Sea, or south across the Indian Ocean to the west of Australia. With no sightings of the aircraft on land, the plane is presumed to be in the sea off Australia. Yet after months of a multinational hunt costing tens of millions, not a single trace of the jet has been found. For the grieving families, the heartbreak continues.

All the major rags are having a go. Here's the New York Times:

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/06/world ... pe=article

"KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — The retired chief pilot of Malaysia Airlines is torn between logic and loyalty to an old friend. Nik Huzlan, 56, was one of the first captains to fly the 12-year-old Boeing 777 that disappeared over the Indian Ocean a year ago this Sunday. He has known the pilot who flew the plane that day, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, for decades.

Mr. Huzlan is convinced that deliberate human intervention, most likely by someone in the cockpit, caused the aircraft, on a red-eye flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, to suddenly turn around, cease communication with air traffic control and some six hours later run out of fuel and fall into the ocean. But he also said that he had never seen anything in more than 30 years of friendship that would suggest that Mr. Zaharie was capable of such a deed ..."

Why wait 8 months to release this bit of info ?? http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/mh370-d ... 7256227487

[GT93]

I see Earnest's profile says he's on attitude readjustment training in Udon. I thought he was back in blighty by now. Hopefully he's just revising his attitude readjustment notes in Blighty and Earnest resurfaces unchanged before MH370 is found.

It would be most disturbing if he reappears a staunch fan of the Duke of York and mates with 747man.
