Well we’ve been keeping the giant underwater killer robots locked up in area 51 but I guess we could let them loose just this once.
Malaysia has compiled a preliminary report on the flight … but is keeping it secret. Stay classy, Malaysia.
If they did it’s being kept a secret … I’m starting to think we should hide our USN submarine fleet down there.
The search is 90% completed and they have found nothing. Their current thinking is that they need better equipment–and some is available:

Using it for something like this depreciates expensive equipment much faster and much more expensively than just storing it.
What they need is a clue as to where they should look. Not to be insensitive, but all anyone has to go on are half-assed guesses as to where the plane might conceiveably have gone.
Maybe they should catch some sharks and see what’s in their belly’s. 
Let’s throw Bayesian statistics into the mix.
Perhaps someonefound it? Sounds like an interesting lead.
I heard that Lindsay Lohan thinks she knows where it is too. 
So Courtney Love didn’t find it after all? That’s almost disappointing.
The search does seem to be resulting in a far more accurate picture of the sea bottom in the region, at least - much like the expeditions to search for Franklin gave us good maps of the Arctic.
This company… They claim to have searched “2,000,000 square kilometres of the possible crash zone, using images obtained from satellites and aircraft” and “identified chemical elements and materials that make up a Boeing 777… these are aluminium, titanium, copper, steel alloys and other materials.” So, they found chemical elements by looking at photos?
Ok, their website says the line of work they’re in is doing surveys using multi-spectral images. According to them, subsurface deposits generate distinct electromagnetic fields that show up on multi-spectral imagery. “Within weeks our Remote Sensing Report will detail locations of subsurface deposits, the size, occurrence depths, reservoir rock types, porosity of the reservoir rocks, direction of migration of fluids, prospectivity.”
That all sounds technical enough. So, basically, they’re in the business of finding ores and deposits buried deep in the ground by detecting their related electromagnetic fields in multi-spectral photography.
There’s actually a scientific term for this very method. It’s called “horseshit.”
Multi-spectral images are images taken over various wavelengths. Instead of just red, green and blue of a normal camera, they might use 64 different increments across the EM spectrum. You end up with 64 images. You take all 64 of them and plot the brightness of an area you’re interested in onto a 64 point graph, then compare the graph to previous graphs created under controlled circumstances and you can hopefully find a match. This is used to do things like map differing vegetation or population density. In no way will it detect aluminium, titanium, copper or steel at the bottom of the ocean, or even underground for that matter.
What’s interesting is that they claim they imaged the area in question before the plane disappeared and it didn’t show anything.
The images from before the plane disappeared, if they really looked at any, lacked nonsense. What they claim to have found since its an abundance of it.
According to this report, the location is in the Bay of Bengal, about 118 miles south of Bangladesh. That would mean the plane turned north after the last radar sighting.
What’s interesting is that they also reported this over a month ago and no one was listening … all those hours and hours of CNN reporting and not one clue of this magnitude.
Even if nothing comes of this there has never been a good explanation on why the search went south instead of north.
There was never any radar report or sighting of MH 370 turning south or north and the first reports were it could be anywhere along an given arc graph they showed on my TV that curved north and south.
The by now lost pings are the best reasons the search wound up in the southern Indian Ocean.
Hello, is this thing on?
The Bay of Bengal report is nonsense. You can’t look at a photo of the ocean and tell what’s at bottom. Unless someone has a reason to think it’s legit, can we stop talking about it as if it’s fact?
Because the Inmarsat pings matched those of ordinary aircraft traveling in that direction and didn’t match the characteristics of planes traveling north.
At first they had circles showing both possibilities, then they did the Doppler study of the pings and it matched the southern one.
Who knows, maybe they’ll turn out to be wrong, but that’s why they looked south.
Well good then … what channel are you on?
I get better information from you than I do CNN 
Here is a detailed report about the four emergency locator beacons on board, which didn’t activate, or if they did, weren’t received by sats, and there could be a number of reasons why:
Channel 69 of course!
