That Georesonance company is saying they believe the plane is in the north Bay of Bengal.
www.cbsnews.com...
This new location is much closer to land, just 100 miles from Bangladesh, which along with nearby India is a major source of sea and air traffic. I can't imagine a plane crash being undetected, especially in the morning hours.
The images are quite interesting. But I'll believe it when I see it.
One thing I'd like to throw out there is the idea of some kind of decoy, whether another plane or spoofed signals and pings to throw people off the chase. There is a conspiracy theorist on Youtube who believes the MH370's twin is involved, and that the twin was actually sighted, not the 370 itself. (Apparently these planes are built in pairs.) There is a different theory every week but I've wondered about some similar types of scenarios.

No thanks. There are already people that know a lot more about the plane than I do that are doing that.
Most of those would be irrelevant anyway since they don't send position and aren't connected to the EHMS or ACARS.
Please? I think you know alot more than your letting on, this is no time to be modest! I haven't seen anyone list all the sensors on board that can report the planes location...we need your help! Dont leave us hanging here..

IMO, Regardless of all sensors and ACARS etc info, the sat conn to grnd stn's are all thru Inmarsat mini m link.
Now if there is any problem with this link, the info simply doesn't get anywhere, whether RR or Malaysian airlines and what have you.

I'm not completely positive, but I believe that the transponder and comms are all run through the same power bus. Shut that bus down, and you lose radios and transponder. Not sure which bus ACARS is on, but if its the same one, you lose all that.

I believe that the Inmarsat link, as well as radios, and maybe the transponder run through one power bus.

I've seen some things that seem crazy to most people but made sense to the engineers.
A group of circuit breakers that are together on the panel get run to one bus, and you end up with a situation that could lead to something happening.
Power systems on aircraft are pretty robust though. You occasionally lose breakers, but to lose an entire bus is incredibly rare.
Like I said though, without reference books you can't get your hands on, I'm not positive on that.

As a B-737 pilot, I can tell you that ALL electrical components are wired into the electrical system to a specific electrical BUS. It would not be hard to determine which BUS(S) run power to the associated component and therefore knowing which circuit breaker(s) to pull. The ACARS that transmits our FOQA information can be disconnected on the BBJ I fly. I assume it can be done in the B-777.

If you drive by a toll booth, and dont throw any money in, and there is no one physically watching the toll booth camera, do you think you wont be caught? Of-course not, because once no money is received, the camera is triggered, your license plate photographed and a violation notice is sent to your address on file ALL WITHOUT HUMAN INVOLVEMENT.

You greatly underestimate the ability of today's artificial surveillance intelligence.
GS
Not true. Actually, an old Gemini friend taught me the trick. Throw in a little change [not the full amount], feign outrage that the robot stole your money [for the cameras] throw in a bit more, throw your arms up in a manner that says 'Duck it!'
They get so many false alarms, that some can fall through the cracks.
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
Interesting things happening in the SCOTUS today.
EDIT: Urgh, not quite used to the reply/qoute post system around here, but this was in reference to your argument about the "all-seeing" eye of the toll booth, spitting out tickets without human input. Hunch is telling me that someone pulled the greatest caper of all time and we'll never know... It's a game changer, for sure.edit on 4302014 by CloudsTasteMetallic because: improper coding for quote function.
