Hi Haven. It doesn't look like the pic in the OP. The seam in the middle and the outside connections don't match up.

Here is the pic from your link...

Thanks for your link. Yes, it appears they come in all shapes and sizes. I think I'll try to contact the the agency that has the object in the OP, and see if I can get any new info from them.

This sure is a possibility

A little fact that turned out to be false, the last words of the pilot.

The last words heard by air traffic control in Kuala Lumpur were "goodnight Malaysian three seven zero" – not "all right, goodnight," as previously reported, Malaysia's civil aviation authority said on Monday.

Oh dear, what other facts will also turn out to be misinformation? the route maybe?

We know that supposedly the ACARS system had been disabled before the transponder was supposedly switched off.
So how can Rolls Royce have gotten any data suggesting this aircraft did descended 40.000ft in the span of a minute?

Or if this information was transmitted before ACARS was disabled and while this aircraft was flying at fl350 could it be a clue to a malfunction on board of this aircraft?

Investigators have also examined data transmitted from the plane’s Rolls-Royce engines that showed it descended 40,000 feet in the span of a minute, according to a senior American official briefed on the investigation. But investigators do not believe the readings are accurate because the aircraft would most likely have taken longer to fall such a distance.

“A lot of stock cannot be put in the altitude data” sent from the engines, one official said. “A lot of this doesn’t make sense.”

The data, while incomplete and difficult to interpret, could still provide critical new clues as investigators try to determine what happened on Flight 370.

The engine data is separate from ACARS. The data from ACARS gets sent to Boeing, while the engine data, in this case went to Rolls Royce.

A critical aspect of the EHM system is the transfer of data from aircraft to ground. Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) digital data-link systems are used as the primary method of communication. This transmits the Aircraft Condition Monitoring System (ACMS ) reports via a VHF radio or satellite link whilst the aircraft is in-flight.

Rolls Royce

Boeing also has an aircraft monitoring system but reports indicate that Malaysia Air did not have that Boeing system.

reply to post by earthling42


There are two options with that system. If the airline subscribes to it, the health monitoring system sends the data to the airline, either the maintenance guys, or dispatch. If they don't, the information gets sent back to Boeing so they can keep an eye on the aircraft.

reply to post by Zaphod58


So it means nothing is lost then, the system was implemented and Boeing has the data, that is if it was transmitted.

reply to post by earthling42


They will have anything up until the loss of transponder signal. Which may be nothing at all if it was a sudden event.

Superb! Just read your link.

Excellent excellent!!!

The unknown object found in Baarah in Haa Alif Atoll of the Maldives is "very likely" to be a fire suppression bottle from an aircraft, local aviation experts said on Wednesday.

I know they drop off my aircraft all the time.....a real pain.

2 Apr 2014: We have not gotten any additional information about the possible fire suppression bottle found washed up on Maldives beach. It is now rising questions why the authorities are not releasing updated information on this object. Are they simply trying to ignore the fact that an object possibly belonging to MH370 has been found? Or the authorities want the world to focus on the depths of massive oceans just to say, at last, the plane may never be found? We cant believe Boeing and the Malaysian authorities are not aware of this object. Why have not they said anything so far?

Why are the major news networks not reporting this? May be they dont like reaching it to any conclusion. So that they can keep reporting "may be" or just the daily "search planes take off from Path" for as long as they can.

Just for reference……..

The B1 - Lancer bomber mentioned in this thread , crashed on Dec 12th 2001 around 75 miles from Diego Garcia.

That puts its splash-down a reasonable distance from where this Metal sphere / fire extinguisher was found in the North of the Maldives…… admittedly, it has probably bobbed and floated over the past 13 years at sea…… but would the USAF have cleared up as much as possible from the crash site..?

They only recovered the crew and some floating debris.

Congratulations Earthling! This is quite a much needed find. This link you brought to the thread is all the updated info on the object, plus some very good pics of it, where you can see the serial number, at least part of it and some logo.

Here is one of the pics, better ones on their website...



Everyone following this story needs to read what member Earthling brought to us. The site even has twitter links for you to send the story to Boeing and other news agencies.

Thanks again Earthling. We needed something new.

Yes, there have been a few. The problem I have with this particular object in the OP. Serial numbers are clearly seen on it, and cross referencing them with the fire suppressors installed the the missing MAS should be simple enough.

Why is no one doing it, is the question.

Nepal has one of the most dangerous airports in the world. It's usually in the top two on the most dangerous list.

reply to post by Destinyone


Just because every bit of the investigation isn't being made public doesn't mean that they aren't looking into it.
