The search for MH370 has been suspended:

That's a ridiculous, heartless and very unwise statement.About time, given that planes are mostly made of tin foil I doubt much of it would exist anymore due to corrosion,
That's a ridiculous, heartless and very unwise statement.
Maybe next time there's a Qantas flight missing between the US and PHNL, we'll be not so inclined to search then....Yes. As I'm incredibly annoyed at the fact that the discovery/ recovery project has been largely funded by Australian tax payers for the last 18 months to 2 years, money that should have been implemented feeding and sheltering the 160,000+ homeless people in this country etc, my point is the funding would have been better used elsewhere,
Australia has spent about $90m, which really isn't much in the grand scheme of things. Had the plane not gone missing, that $30m/yr would have simply not been spent. It was never taken from anywhere, it just added to the national debt and would never have been spent on the homeless/health/schools/any other program.Yes.

Next time? There was a last time that a QF went missing?Maybe next time there's a Qantas flight missing between the US and PHNL, we'll be not so inclined to search then....
A bit of a hidden pun in there... seems like you found it.Next time? There was a last time that a QF went missing?![]()

Oceanographic analysis. By figuring out the movements of the dominant ocean currents, they can figure out where the plane would have been carried.Why do they think it is here anyway?
Because they're not James Bond villains.What if china shot down MH370 over the south china sea and then started to bury the plane by making those islands?

Did you even read the article? The CSIRO's entire hypothesis is built on the idea that the lack of debris in Western Australia has enabled them to narrow down the plane's location.The currents should've washed up debris on western australian beaches

When I'm talking about ocean currents, I'm not talking about tidal movements. There are major currents in each of the oceans that serve to distribute and redistribute waters around the oceans. Haven't you ever heard of El Niño and La Niña? It's triggered by the sudden shift in the trade winds and currents between Australia and the western coast of South America. Or how about the Gulfstream off the eastern coast of the United States? These currents are so powerful that they could easily pick up a plane like MH370 and carry it some distance.
As for the currents picking up metal and bringing it to the surface?
Still find it hard to picture it.
The currents should've washed up debris on western australian beaches but all we have found was some debris near east africa.
A little from column A, a little from column C.I'm not sure if this goes in this thread, Funny Stories or Conspiracies
So I'm reading along, thinking it's a little unconventional but may prove to be a promising lead. "I don't know what Ten meant by conspiracies," I say to myself. I keep reading..."government"..."bullet holes"...and then a picture begins to form.A man claims to have found the plane via Google Earth. I'm not sure if this goes in this thread, Funny Stories or Conspiracies![]()
I see what you did there.A little from column A, a little from column C.
That was pretty much my thought process. I went and found the guy's spot - the island he speaks of, Round Island is about 20km NE of Mauritius. I don't have full Google Earth on my work computer and the web based one doesn't seem to have full imagery so I can't look for myself. However, given that this spot is so close to Mauritius, I can't help but feel that the wreckage would have been spotted by now by a local if it were real.The sad thing is, without those wackadoo addendums, it's not terribly far-fetched and may result in further investigation. But he went and muddied the water--no pun intended.
I don't have the slightest idea where Round Island is, let alone how far from Mauritius it is, but the notion that a local could have spotted it suggests to me that even a vacationer could have.However, given that this spot is so close to Mauritius, I can't help but feel that the wreckage would have been spotted by now by a local if it were real.
The guy claims the wreckage is 10miles south of Round Is.
Mauritius is bottom left. Round Island is the other end of the line. The guy claims the wreckage is 10miles south of Round Is.
