Very interesting case ... Without being an aviation expert, one would think that in current day and age and technology, that plane would be tracked every second of it's flight through satellite and radars? So they could go back to the last transmitted position. There is so many speculations coming out daily, it's becoming a joke really.
Yeah, I would agree that with current technology they should know exactly where it is...There is more to this story than we thinkQuote:

It's a massive world out there. The thing could be anywhere.
If it did hit ocean in some areas over there, and sank I doubt they will ever know exactly what happened as it's super deep in some spots there.
Whats the box got time wise before it's game over? 30 days or something?
That is their main problem. Once you are more than about 100 miles away from a major airport or military Radar etc then you are out of Radar contact and all position reporting is derived from the Aircraft itself via the Pilots calling in to ATC at reporting points, onboard transponders or Satellite uplink.Quote:

We had an F18 tragically lost in Australia in 1991 when I was stationed in the NT. The pilot became unconcious and they tracked it from Katherine until they "lost contact" as it neared the Gulf of Carpentaria.
There was a huge search and I mean huge and we knew his heading and approximate fuel useage so everyone thought it's a tradegy but we will find where it went down within 24 hours
A stockman stumbled across the wreckage 3 years later.
Tis very interesting.
I'm now not thinking termism though. If it was someone woukd have claimed it by now surly.
Possibility! Surely they would all have GPS trackers and everything though? If not, maybe after this they will.Quote:

If it hit water there would be wreckage everywhere. but stuck in the cockpit with the two cute girls
they could be anywhere. certainly a mystery ATM
Probably another speculation but Boeing said these planes have a plane information send function (via sattelite) which Malasian air did not subscribe to but they send these pings automatically. The yanks reckon they know these pings were sent 4 hours after communication stopped... Who knows
