Im sure this is upsetting for the families of the victims but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It will be one of the great mysteries of our times. Perhaps some time a piece of wreckage will wash ashore that will give us some answers.

Some day it will be found.

Those few pieces that have washed on shore only create more quesions than answers.

I believe that it is at the bottom of the ocean somewhere. Maybe in a deep trench.

Look at how long it took us to find the Titanic, and we knew where it sank.

It has to be somewhere.

Maybe one day it will be found...

There would be no bodies left, their souls are elsewhere,they certainly tried to find that plane.

It's a very big ocean and a relatively small plane. If the plane broke up on impact it would likely have left very little behind in the way of a sonar footprint.

When you look at how long it took the experts to find theTitanic or Bismarck, two ships that sunk in relatively modern times and whose sinkings were witnessed, then the difficulty of finding a smaller aircraft that disappeared with no witnesses is understandable.

Probably the best analogy would be a single grain of sand is lost somewhere in your house. You don't know where it is and there's no beacon or clue as to where it is, just that it's in there somewhere. It could also have broken up into several smaller pieces so it would resemble dust more than a grain of sand. There may also be other grains of sand that aren't the grain of sand you're looking for. Good luck in finding the specific grain of sand that's missing.

The real opportunity to find the plane was in the first few hours/days after it went down. The beacons on the plane should have still been working then. Unfortunately they were looking in the wrong place at the time and missed that opportunity. By now, there's likely little left in the way of human remains, so even finding the plane would likely yield little in the way of anything of value to the families. Bones might still be intact, but even those would eventually dissolve away in the seawater.

Plesse! For the love of sanity. Plane dropped off the radar. Nothing!! Not one blimp. Technology more advanced than majority realize. Like I said above->Not Buying theory. More to this story-> Period!!

Let me guess.

The plane was hijacked, and flown to some remote place, where it is being kept in a hanger.

It has since been re-painted, and the passengers are being held against their will, if they are still alive.

The bad guys will one day use that plane to attck us.

*yawn*

I go by facts, not conspiracies.

Re: Search For Flight 370 Has Ended

Fact is!! There's NO ✈!!!

Just because the plane hasn't been found (yet) does not mean that there is no plane.

Clearly, you believe otherwise, which is your right to do.

Just like is is our right to believe otherwise.

Don't jump on us for choosing to believe what we want, and we won't jump on you for believing what you want.

@Sweet_Serenity, The "entire plane" is no longer missing. Parts of the plane have been found. There have been many news reports of this, many factual articles. Here's a current one:

"Missing flight MH370 – a visual guide to the parts and debris found so far"

https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2017/jan/17/missing-flight-mh370-a-visual-guide-to-the-parts-and-debris-found-so-far

~~~~~~~~~~~~

They've simply deemed the expensive searches for more evidence to be fruitless and they need to devote the resources elsewhere. Personally, I think it's unkind to the families who lost loved ones to try and perpetuate conspiracy theories. Such a sad story... may all the lost souls rest in peace.

Stand by my comments. Yes! Tragic for the families. Such as other horrific events that happen. That's another topic for another time.

Please just take a look at the article. The plane broke up in the ocean, many parts of it have been found and identified. This has nothing to do with opinion.... it's a factual part of the puzzle, and indeed so tragic for all involved.

Oh so now your going to tell me! Because it's published article! All that matters and that's fact? Now that's priceless!!!

No, I was just saying it's a fact because it happened and was carefully investigated and documented. That matters, at least in my opinion. There are countless, factual articles available on the parts of the plane which have been recovered and identified. You can find documentation online or in hard copy. I wanted to provide one which is up-to-date and comprehensive, and thought it would be helpful. Updates were published each time new pieces were found, and after each of the investigations took place. The evidence is there for anyone to read and it's available from a myriad of sources. I do agree with you, and others here, that there are many unanswered questions likely to have no real answers.

The plane is in the ocean. Enough bits and pieces have washed up to make that clear. The big question is: "What the heck was the pilot thinking?" He apparently intentionally flew the plane in a manner that he'd practiced on a simulator to a specific spot in the ocean. Why? Did he intend to make a crash landing in the ocean and then transfer the passengers to Somali pirates who are in that general neighborhood?

If you're a pilot and you're going to intentionally crash a plane, why do it there? He could have crashed it anywhere, why pick a spot in the ocean miles away from everything? To hide the wreckage? Why? It's not like people won't know the plane crashed. Your actions as the pilot will make it clear this wasn't an accident, so why fly the plane to an obscure part of the ocean to crash it?

We likely wouldn't learn the answer to that even if we found the wreckage. His actions are just so bizarre that you know he had to have a plan in place of some sort, but what the heck was it? Nothing he did really makes a lot of sense.
