Coworker of mine says when he was in Australia, locals told him the waves get up to five-six stories high during storms. Freaky stuff. I don't know how anyone's going to find crap with Tropical Cyclone Gillian (hurricane level wind speeds but just in Pacific Ocean instead of Caribbean) blowing over the search area.

That is a 245 foot LPG tanker, imagine that in anything under 100 foot long? That is weather best avoided.

It was just a renamed video that was posted a year or so ago.
KevanGuy posted the original above. Keep a bucket or a diaper close by.

Now imagine, just for "fun", that the plane did remain somewhat intact when/if it landed in the ocean and that there were survivors who had to face seas like that. Nuts

Well, that video is during a Hurricane. So, assuming they weren't all obliterated on contact, it wouldn't have been that bad.
Added bonus in that video: the dot matrix printer going buckwild in the background.

Stock is down to .225. I wonder where the bottom is, and at what point everyone forgets about this and moves on with their lives. Might be time to throw a few dollars at it.

I've neglected this story all week as I've been super busy, but heard on the radio that they found 122 objects. All within a 400km radius/area.
If I heard correctly, all objects are at least 1 meter in length and were viewed via French satellite.
Two things: If they were able to count the number of objects and total them to 122, could they really not determine if they were from a plane?
And if not, then why the fata are they releasing the info? I'm so sick and tired of the false hopes that pop up time and time again.
"Oh, we may have spotted something" - Wasn't anything.
"we've noticed something from satellite images" - turns out to be nothing.
etc etc.
Stop mentioning it until you fataing confirm it!!!
ARGH!!

Other notable news I heard just from a quick search:
U.S. FBI director says technical team will be able to retrieve computer data deleted from missing MH370 pilot's flight simulator. I think this is great news.

^^ it is interesting, but I would be surprised if it turned out to be a lead. Unless the investigation team knows something, deleted files on a computer just sound sensational, but they're a pretty mundane thing;people tend to delete files on their computers. It's normal.

I can understand your rant. A Thai satellite has now found 300 objects. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/malaysi...bris-1.2588158

Even the different debris fields are an insane distance away from each other. This was 200 km southwest of where the French spotted the debris, which was spread over 400 square kms and was hundreds of km from where the Chinese spotted debris which itself was 120 km away from Australia's images.
We're talking a 1000 km drift and who knows how many hundreds of thousands of square km's for a search area.
I still think it's never found.

Never is a very long time. Whether it happens in our lifetime, probably not.

Well that would explain why the debris found by the French was so far from the first sightings, the 300 found by the Thais as much closer to the French discovery than the Australian and Chinese, so that's probably a good sign.

If it was flying faster, how could it have lasted the full 8 hours of fuel necessary to be pinged 8 hours later

As a few posts before mentioned, they have abandoned the previous search zones and are now concentrating on an area about 700 miles NE of the previous locations. This essentially confirms the "debris" fields they saw earlier this week were nothing. Many people are suggesting they are back to square one in many ways. Im not so sure though- the data is being analayzed by more and more experts and I think they are narrowing in. I have a feeling the ocean surface debris field will discovered within days.

I have three commercial pilots (one retired airforce) staying at my hotel. They stay with us often (fly big wigs around for the university) and I just asked them what they thought. One thought decompression and the other just showed me a picture of a fire suppresion system bottle that washed up on an island in the south east.
