Malaysian airliner feared lost..

Think we've now reached the point where the media is reaching for any stories that it can relate to the missing Aircraft.

First the murdoch press was reporting that the co-pilot made a cell phone call just before it disappeared (and we've discussed why that would be very unlikely) now it's reporting the plane was flown like a fighter to avoid radar.
 
CNN is reporting the co-pilot's cell phone "searched for service" at a point they came within range of a tower, but no call was placed.

Well, certainly the press is milking the story. However, your post has a bit of hyperbole. The press reported that the airliner changed course to avoid some land as well as changed altitude, however I never heard it described it as flying like a fighter.

It's also now widely reported that the co-pilots cell phone searched for a tower.

In the case of Air France, they found the wreckage quickly. They haven't even found wreckage for this crash...
 
2 years for Air France is inflated. Most of those 2 years were obtaining permissions and other bereaucratic paper work. Only a couple of months were required or the actual under water search. Of those couple of months, only 8 days were required once they used the correct drift model.

For Air France, they found wreckage but didn't hear the pingers.

Nothing is guaranteed but I am optimistic that it won't be years for MH370.

Mr Awe
 
Will they find the plane? I share your optimism that they will.

Will they find answers? That's something else.
 
A CNN weatherperson was explaining "gyres" and how each ocean has one. It's how a given ocean has a large rotating pattern as well as smaller movements within the gyre.

It's how all the debris from the Japanese earthquake/tsunami washes up in western Canada & NW U.S. before anywhere else.

Well then, I'm happy to inform the conspiracy theorists that she didn't disappear into the Dragon's Triangle afterwards!

I'm hopeful we'll find the rest of the plane, and finally find out what happened. Probably not as much as family and friends, who are probably hoping for some closure.
 
Actually the plane is still in an Iranian hangar but they had the foresight to take a flap off it a year ago & throw it in the ocean so it could be found and finally quash any theories that it was in an Iranian hangar.
 
Actually that was MH17. MH370 was the one that nefarious anti-Russian Western parties hijacked and switched out and then blew up over Ukraine as a false flag operation (or so I have been told).
 
It has been confirmed that the debris is indeed from the missing flight MH370, thus making this first piece of actual physical evidence found from the crash of the plane.

Part of the aircraft wing found on Reunion Island is from the missing MH370 plane, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has confirmed.
Mr Najib said international experts examining the debris in France had "conclusively confirmed" it was from the aircraft.
The Malaysia Airlines plane carrying 239 people veered off course from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014.
The debris was examined at an aeronautical test centre near Toulouse.
