Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 vanishes without trace

"Come on then"??Are you offering me a fight, LOL? Do you have nothing better to do with your life than this website you boring little man? 110,000 posts (60,000 likes! Must be doing something right!) suggests you don't.

Go find some friends.

Har, aren't you that obsessive banned returner who appears to lose all self-control at the sight of a Pickman'sPost?

Lecturing someone on being boring and having no friends?

yes, you've played that record more than once tarquin and it doesn't improve on repetition. you said you'd produce an alternative explanation to 2hats one. where is it?

Wish I had 60,000 likes...

... or friends.

what tarquin hasn't noticed is 90% of my posting in work time, with evenings free for socialising.

You are a pointless obnoxious wanker. Yes, i'ved read your posts. Sort it out.

Beautiful response there, perfectly expressed.

Who is this cunt?

Awwww come on I was only joking

Ah, the excessive banned returner gambit. Not seen that before on urban. Well done you too.

And yes. Obviously you're right. Or maybe you're just a twat?

Australian and Malaysian investigators have confirmed that the two pieces of debris (mentioned here and here) found on the Mozambique coast last month are from a 777, most likely MH370.

A large item, that would appear to be an aircraft toilet, has been found on a beach in South Africa and will be examined by the investigation team.

Malaysia has announced that it is in discussions with the Mozambique and South African governments with a view to conducting a systematic search of the coastlines of both countries.

 

[Teaboy]

That's actually quite poignant in an odd way. All the other pieces are just scraps that is something that actually resembles something you see on an aircraft.

Searching coastlines would surely be an extensive, intensive and expensive undertaking, though.

Surely. But I would imagine they don't fuck around too much when an airliner disappears with the loss of all passengers and crew.

As I say, I have read your posts. You can't claim any moral high ground re exchanging insults. You can't blame the website for making you look like an obtuce self aggrandising tit.

 

[2hats]

Searching coastlines would surely be an extensive, intensive and expensive undertaking, though.

Probably worth it though. They could just scan the coastlines and query locals about anything they have found, educating them with other 777 samples and/or photos. Crowd sourcing, if you will. As mentioned previously, most likely some people have not realised and either been tripping over relevant material or have repurposed it.

Especially relevant in the light of this - yet another new, very promising find which looks likely to be the first fragment of the interior cabin to have come to light. The markings on it look very similar to the cabin decor of the MAS 777 fleet. It was found on Thursday, on a beach on the south-east side of Rodrigues Island in the Indian Ocean, some 560km directly east of Mauritius. The ATSB are reported to be very interested in and "excited by" the find.

Note: comparative illustration of decor pattern not of piece location. Item is some "tens of cm" across. Barnacles highlighted in red.

Does finding all these pieces of the aircraft mean it's pulverized and there's no plane for searchers to find?

A lot of it most likely was pulverised but I wouldn't be surprised if there are some sizeable chunks around. Possibly a large twisted piece of/adjacent to the main wingbox/spars is somewhere on the seabed. Perhaps a compressed, ragged part of the tail with CVR/FDR nearby (if found, as previously mentioned, it's still conceivable that data could be extracted from them). Remains of the cockpit might have helped in trying to deduce what went on if they could have retrieved it quickly enough but by now it's unlikely that it could (if found) yield up any DNA based clues as to who was sitting at the pointy end at impact though any final switch settings might help. Some fragments could hint at the nature of the entry into the ocean (powered dive, glide, attempted ditching) and help rule out/in ideas in tandem with other data.

ATSB officially confirms both parts found off Mozambique coast are almost certainly from MH370.

At the time of writing, ongoing work was being conducted with respect to the marine ecology identification as well as testing of material samples. The results from these tests will be provided to the Malaysian investigation team once complete. Nevertheless, from the initial examination it was concluded that:

Part No. 1 was a flap track fairing segment, almost certainly from the Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 aircraft, registered 9M-MRO.

Part No. 2 was a horizontal stabiliser panel segment, almost certainly from the Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 aircraft, registered 9M-MRO.

Listing the variables and, in your own words, knowing whether or not, eg, individual plane parts were doused in bio - antagonistic fluids is not the same thing is it? Pardon me if you have such knowledge, I doubt you do. Also pardon me for not looking back through 62 pages of thread, I'll be truly grateful of you do it for me, but my point was not the Guardian nor anyone else to my knowledge was providing diagrams with Chris Morris arrows any time in advance suggesting plane parts were certain to start turning up on Mozambique and Reunion. If you have such Guardian diagrams and articles from 24 months ago, happy for you to show me. All I've seen, and what you've linked to here, are justifications 'after he event' (ie after things started showing up) for finding the flaperon on Reunion. I'm not saying those oceanographic models are wrong or made up by lizards, just pointing out that as far as I know they were only enacted to justify things once a part was found.

You need to look up what hyperbole is. It's not pulling random figures out of an orifice for the sake of it. It's a literary device to make a point. But you knew that right? You just like belittling because, having science on your side and all that, you obviously need sarcasm too right?

I have never once suggested the aircraft was lost just off SE Africa. Nor that the lizards put the parts there. But, later today or tomorrow, I will offer you, as I seem to be being pushed into it, an alternative explanation of sorts.

perhaps you could finally give us your long-awaited alternative explanation, which i hope takes into account this story

The ATSB and Malaysian Transport Minister confirm further recently found parts (number 4 and the piece in the lower image, namely parts of an engine cowling and the interior wall) are from MH370.

I quite fancy a job searching East African coastlines for bits of aircraft. I think that would suit me

reinforcing what you said some time ago, i suppose, and undermining any potential 'alternative explanation' which might be offered. however, i suppose this does make it less likely that we'll ever know precisely what happened as the break-up and subsequent drift of the plane seems to me to make it less likely the black box will ever be recovered.

It looks increasingly like it was completely shattered on impact as illustrated in earlier Airbus Space satellite imagery which appears to have located the pieces before there were submerged/dispersed. If there is any data on the FDR (at best the CVR is probably silent minus occasional flight management system notifications/alarms) it won't tell us a lot more than what is already implied by all evidence collected thus far (assuming it wasn't disabled like other systems were).

Three further suspect pieces have come to light - two in Mauritius and one in Mozambique. They will be sent to the ATSB for analysis. The current seabed search in the SE Indian Ocean is expected to end in August if nothing is found there (once the planned search area has been surveyed).

(The above were found in separate locations in Mauritius).
