Obviously it was deliberately crashed, shot down or landed somewhere. Whoever is responsible is making up the story as we go

How farken ridiculous is this? Some idiot thinking it would be good to place a face towel sachet in amongst some flotsam on a beach south of Perth.

Apparently this was July last year, it is pretty implausible that only one moist towelette would wash up and nothing else. Either planted there by someone or just dropped.

1 year is a surprise, I wouldve said 6-8 months max
Imagine you could go back to that day and say a year on from now we'll know nothing more

Also, its not very dirty for being in the sea for a few months.......and July?, why wasn't it handed in before this, and if it was handed in, why haven't they tested it before now?
..nah, can't have too much faith in this I'm afraid......tend to lean the way of being planted.

It's a staged towelette I think. Not as in it was put there by a prankster, but that it was put there to resemble how it would have looked when found.

Been going on so long now. A hell of an area to search. However, what if we're looking in the wrong place?
You'd think with technology these days that the U.S. or Aussie military would have the might to have tracked it!

I think this will prove to be one of the great mysteries of our time.
In today's world it's inconceivable to think that you can lose almost anything of significance, let alone something as large as a commercial plane.

It's entirely plausible (and I think likely) that one or more country's armed forces were able to track it and they just don't want to risk revealing their capability by giving the details.
Then why wouldn't they send a merchant or navy ship to come across it accidentally on purpose?

Hard to get a ship to Northern Kazakhstan, either merchant or naval.
Risk vs Reward. The risk of another country's defence intelligence figuring out you did that vs the reward of effectively nothing for a military.
And even if they sent the merchant or navy ship they'd still have to search once they got to the point of impact assuming the tracking capability is available.

I think once we find the evidence we will uncover it is very similar to the most recent disaster

based on the arc, it was picked up by two satellites. if it were three or more we would have a pin point area rather than the arc.
even then given it is in deep water, it could be a couple of kilometres away from the impact point. So the search area would be pretty large.
A simple echo sounder would not be accurate enough to pick it up but this survey would need to happen first as a side scan sonar can not be "flown" close to the bottom without knowing how deep the bottom is or what obstacles it needs to avoid. This usually takes 3-9 months to collect the data depending on the area and then processed taking another 1-6 months.
Then the side side scan survey needs to be done and is much slower than an echo sounder survey as the speed and length of the cable determines the height of the side scan. To slow and it hits the bottom or the angle means insufficient data is collected or too high and no data is collected. I would suggest this survey will need to be done twice on different angles. Once completed the data needs to be processed.
From memory it only took 65 years to find HMAS Sydney despite being in shallow water and exact speed and heading from the last known sighting. I think we will find this faster but 2-10 years would be about right.
I'm not really into the whole conspiracy thing, but how would that benefit them?

But aren't we broke .....
Why are they bothering? One of the governments knows where it crashed and why for sure

Maybe the plane crashed on an island and the passengers are living on that island. That's the best you could hope for
