Re: MH370 - Kuala Lumpur to Beijing - missing
Hmm, well maybe.
I've superimposed what some people have been suggesting as they squint - but personally I'd have wanted better info before I redirected everything, I hope they have some better secret data.

Re: MH370 - Kuala Lumpur to Beijing - missing
MMGW is the new religion - there is just as much hysteria on the pro side. Denying it is akin to heresy now
Read, research, draw your own conclusions. I've done that and realise that MMGW is not happening - which is contrary to what the opinion of the herd is
Works for me

Based upon that I bought a block on top of a hill 30k from the ocean expecting it to come to me, I'm still waiting

Well I don't think there's any way the vertical stabiliser is 24m high/long. Not even close to that.

Re: MH370 - Kuala Lumpur to Beijing - missing
Me neither, it's 18m apparently as the total height of the aircraft - which makes the tail about half that. However the correspondence has been suggested - so I put the comparison together.

Re: MH370 - Kuala Lumpur to Beijing - missing
Absolutely.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in the worldwide "debate" over climate change. The agenda of disinformation being spread by the coal, oil and gas industry (hundreds of millions of dollars) is very successful. Not only do the hysterical shock jocks like Limbaugh and Jones spread "facts" that they do not comprehend, but blogs are filled with deniers cutting and pasting the same few discredited "facts" ad nauseam.
Anyone who takes just a few minutes to follow the trails, and who Googles the *real* science will realise how the public is being misled. Exactly the same sort of herd ignorance is being shown, as you say, in the MH370 episode.

One lead is that data was deleted from a flight sim.
Right! All possible- all good. It's just filler. It might be nothing - like someone clearing out a TMP folder to the actual runway found. Until you have exhausted leads you don't know - and sometimes a lead is re-visited. Some of the leads will not be reported yet.
AirFrance took years to find and recover and they knew approximately where it went down.

Re: MH370 - Kuala Lumpur to Beijing - missing
I'm bitterly disappointed with the whole MMGW thing. 10 years ago we were told the polar caps were melting & by 2014 sea levels would have risen to the point that many of the coastal towns would be underwater.

Then there's that Australia-hating, socialist moron Flannery who a few years ago said that it would never rain again on the east coast of Australia - just before the biggest floods in living memory

Re: MH370 - Kuala Lumpur to Beijing - missing
I didn't intend to hijack the thread by bringing up the MMGW thing, I just mentioned that the amount of speculative cr*p that's been floating around this last thirteen days WRT MH370 bears a striking resemblance.

Re: MH370 - Kuala Lumpur to Beijing - missing
Fair enough. There certainly is a lot of speculation and guessing out there - especially on BE

Can't help feeling that sending Orions out with six hours out/back and only two hours loiter is a waste of resources. Cheaper and far more effective to send a 744 with perhaps fifty people looking out of the windows and perhaps eight hours on station.

Yes, and imagine if they had been based at Adelaide - this wouldn't have been possible.
Oh, hang on...

Its cruise speed is low though, which is where the P8 has an advantage - also has better sensors

Re: MH370 - Kuala Lumpur to Beijing - missing
The reason that they are based there is pork-barelling, pure and simple - for a state that has zero economy without the government
