I hope the black box or (boxes?) are found one day but it is an awfully big ask it seems. Despite those much more knowledgeable than me here saying otherwise I tend to favor the sudden depressurization theory & everyone onboard dead as the plane flies onwards for thousands of miles.... But who knows could have been hiijacked and hiijacker got lost at night. Regardless it is rather creepy the thought of a loaded up Jumbo Jet flying along at 500 mph with a full DEAD crew.

Reminds me of Sherlock
 
A slightly more in-depth analysis of the new, further-narrowed search area for the flight, or the so-called "7th Arc".

I say "so-called" because we'll all be calling it that soon despite, I suspect, none of us having counted that there were 6 others.
 
I would be very disappointed if there were no aliens involved.

@Famine too, if I recall, he dibs-ed a "reasonably" original screenplay based on the idea.

I noticed today that the bathyscape search equipment won't be on-station until mid-August, at least according to an MA statement last week. I'm not sure what other search resources are in the new search area now, Australia's navy seems (ahem) otherwise engaged at present.

Four victim's bank accounts got money shuffled around. Roughly more than $35,000 was stolen from three of the passenger's bank accounts and got put into a fourth who all bank at the same bank in Indonesia. The South China Morning Post reported that the activity had occurred in July.

“The money was taken via ATM and Internet bank transfer to a third party. We are investigating this case,” Kuala Lumpur Commercial Crime Investigation Department Chief Assistant Commissioner Izany Abdul Ghany told the newspaper, adding that they will review CCTV footage to try and get to the bottom of the withdrawals. ”Whoever did this is taking advantage of the situation and adding to the suffering of the victims’ families.”

On Friday a banker and her husband was arrested in connection to the stolen money, and a Pakistani man is wanted also in connection to the money.

Nope, it's fallen out of the public consciousness. Our government is more interested in proving A (Russian) Wizard Did It than actually addressing the missing plane that we're supposed to br finding.
 
Boy this airline cannot catch a break. There has been an alleged sexual assault on one of Malaysian Airlines flights.

The government has taken control of the airline and may consider totally re branding it or spinning it off into pieces. It's currently loosing $2 million a day and plenty of staff are resigning. Having never found MH370 has certainly been the major factor in this because it's better to know what has happened than to see something drawn out which keeps the negativity in the public eye.

It's always been around 60% government owned, they're just increasing their ownership.

The ongoing costs of MH370 are no doubt a huge problem for the state too.
 
BBC reporting that the Australian search coordinators, having further analysed satellite data, feel the aircraft may have turned south further than originally thought. As a result they are to concentrate search efforts on the southernmost part of the search area. Link.

We might all be jealous of Australian search coordinators. They and their succeeding generations may have the long-dreamed-of-job-for-a-lifetime. :rolleyes:
 
I do hope that's not a suggestion that Search and Rescue personnel seek to benefit from the tragic loss of life.

Do not think for a moment that searching the vast ocean by air and sea doesn't come with its own risks.
 
It's really a shame...the latest incident is really the only one that can be blamed on the airline, while the other two planes were either shot down or hijacked. Hundreds of MA employees are now out of work because of these incidents.
 
One thing MA have done.

Is offer cheap airfair deals to aussies and kiwis.

The travel agents that work for them get a 11% commission instead of the 6%

I dont know if it will work or back fire badly.
 
At this point, they should just reincorporate. North Singapore Airlines?
 
6 months to the day since MH370 vanished.

They are still searching further South into the ocean but as the equipment moves at a walking pace it could take a year to cover a very small portion of the area.

Meanwhile Malaysian Airlines despite discounting fares is still in deep trouble and will only get worse until the find the plane.
 
Unless it landed somewhere in Antarctica, Siberia or the Gobi Desert it's almost certainly at the bottom of the ocean where it will probably never be found.

You would think that something, anything... would still be floating indefinitely, even like a Styrofoam cup. As long as it's something MAS logo'ed it would eventually wash up somewhere. That is of course if it really crashed.

What else could it have done? There's solid evidence that the plane flew south. And there is nowhere that it could have landed given the fuel that it had. It had to go down in the ocean, unless you think it could have flown north and west without being detected by a single military or civilian radar from over a dozen countries.

It could have flown under the radar into Australia. I'm by no means in the conspiracy theory camp but seeing as nothing has been found I would keep an open mind to the very end. Like with flight 19.
 
In theory, yes - but large parts of Western Australia are used for farming. And while properties might be large, they're not unattended, so the only way it could vanish is to make it to the Simpson Desert, somewhere around the South Australia-Northern Territory border.
 
But even then it would have been spotted by ATC.

Its not like australia doesn't have any ATC towers covering that area.

IF it is in austalia some where, at least the victims families can have their loved ones buried.
 
He does have a small point. There has been found nothing. Not a single piece of floating debris.

But then again. The ocean is pretty big.
