Trust me.. There is a lot of info they know that you, and I don't. It may take a year or 2 to find the main fuselage and black box/

Yah they said France had this happen years ago and they said it took 3 years I think to find the aim part.

True, but it's rather more of a sad fact than anything.

I am sure lots off things will change from this.





Nope, making fun of the fact that GMC knows where every vehicle they built in the last 20 years is located(within 5 or 6 millimetres)And a huuuuuuuuge air plane can just disappear.

Take 20 of those cars and dump them in an area bigger than Alaska where the water is 3K metres deep and try and call On-Star.

Personally, I think there was an explosion within that plane. When explosion happens on 10000m elevation, hull of airplane usually disintegrates into small pieces (pressure difference) and everything spread over a large area. Since pieces of that airplane did fall into deep ocean and researchers were looking for about 2 week in a wrong area of the earth, I doubt if they will ever find anything. Body are also torn into pieces, and consumed by a fish.
They are using SAR imagery to locate that plane. SAR has a resolution 25m so, everything smaller then 25 meters in diameter won't be visible. Parts which aren't made from metal won't have a reflection on SAR imagery, and all metal parts are sank. SAR good for detecting ships not for lost planes.
Pilots change the route because they were threaten with explosion, I can't see another explanation.

i like how the satellite images are absolutely terrible but yet i was reading the other day that some of those satellites have the ability to read a newspaper from space

There are two kinds of satellite imagery exist in our days.
1. Optical (passive) when camera looks at the reflection of sun rays (the same principal when you take a picture).
2. Radar or active, when satellite sends signals and read reflection, the same antenna is being used.
First optical imagery is useless unless sky is clear without clouds.
Radar see through clouds but objects have to be either reflective, either produce waves on ocean surface which can be detected (small zodiac boats are visible even thou they aren't reflective and they are usually smaller then 25m).
Small floating objects neither reflective, neither they produce any wave patterns on ocean surface, in addition to that they are being drifted due to the winds and currents.
