* Still missing *Malaysian Airlines plane with 239 on board

[1061]

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

Gilligan's plane!

 

[rdhopkins2]

Searchers now looking outside the square so to speak. It will all come down to fuel capacity on the airliner though. It can't go further than its maximum fuel range.

 

[MacMum]

Surprise surprise! Perhaps they might finally speak to the people who reported seeing the plane when it first went missing.

Honestly, what a stuff up this has been from the start.

"Experts!"

 

[WCErevival]

The experts are just searching the place where the highest probability is. Its all they can do really unless they go back in time.

we just need to build a Delorean that can do 88mph

A piece of wreckage has been found on an island in the Indian Ocean.

A US official says air safety investigators have a “high degree of confidence” that a photo of aircraft debris found in the Indian Ocean is of a wing component unique to the Boeing 777, the same model as the Malaysia Airlines plane that disappeared last year.

With any luck this is the beginning of the findings.

 

[baz_machine]

if indeed it is from the missing plane at least the families will get some kind of closure

Reunion. Man-eating sharks are running amok there and would've taken care of any survivors!

 

[Catfish Alley]

Pretty sure the debris has been floating around for for a long time and the plane didn't crash anywhere near Reunion.

Was tongue-in-cheek. Remains to be seen whether the wreckage was even from MH370.

If it is a piece of wreckage from the plane, i wonder if they can reverse map it's drift patterns over that time to come up with a reliable search area?

due to the time and distances we are talking about, it's still gives only a guess at best

But does indicate that all the original guesses of where the plane went down west of WA are in the ballpark.

Can't see it really helping to pinpoint a location though.

correct.

unfortunately the ballpark is 100,000's sq kms

Planted by the powers that be.

Yeah I read somewhere that there are two others known missing planes from recent times that it could be from. Also read that Boeing use a different paint to what this piece of debris was coated in

All boeing parts have serial numbers on them. If this is from MH370, the people that need to know already know. The fact that they haven't disclosed this yet, makes me think this is a part from the plane, and they're letting the people that need to know first e.g. Malaysian Airlines, the families etc.

 

[benchwarmer5]

Kinda funny if this turns out to be is just a random piece of junk ;/

It definitely has that vibe to it coming through the media

That would be funny if it was possible.. but its' not. It's 100% a flapperon from a large jet

Looks like a filange to me

Looks a hell of a lot like a trippler one too. Also doesn't look like it's been in the water too long.

 

[ClarkeM]

And now a damaged suitcase has washed ashore in the same location.

Yep. 99% sure it's a 777 one. The amount of shells on it is the best indicator of how long it's been in the water. A control surface like that is specially treated to be tough & not rust because they're a bit important when it comes to flying the plane.
