Missing Malaysian Airlines B777
I have read this forum since the desperate saga was started, many of the comments have been authoritative and beyond mere speculation, others have been just that, speculation and guesswork, but it would appear that the debris field spotted by the French satellite would sadly appear to be of the missing airliner. It will not be known until a vessel or vessels reach that area, when positive identification can be made. Sadly there is, I should speculate, a possibility of casualties on the surface amongst the wreckage. In view of the work done in the past on finding the ‘Titanic’ and ‘Bismarck’ , albeit in comparatively ‘shallow’ waters, unlike the vast depth of one of the planet’s deepest oceans, surely it is not beyond possibilty to further narrow the search area, given the duration of the flight,the possible ‘end’ defined by a circle of probability,and by an analysis of the weather conditions and current movements indicate how far the debris field would have drifted from the impact area at the time of the ‘crash’? All the worlds oceans have more than their share of flotsam and jetsam but the recent amount plotted would seem rather more ominous, and given the limited battery life of the FDR power supply it would appear vital to recover it as soon as feasible : how that is done, I leave to the experts in that field, but surely technical advances in the area of search and recovery must give some slight hope for the location of the wreckage, which it must needs be, now. RIP all the lost souls, and comfort to their families and friends : we must never overlook or minimise the true tragedy of this event. Whether it will ever be solved, your guess is as good as mine.
