They are beginning the submersibles, but it's a big ocean, and they have a lot to cover. I think it's down there, but it will take many months to find it. It would have helped if there had been more forthright communication from the very beginning, but what's done is done. They found Air France after two years. They will find this one.

read this about THE PHILADEPHIA EXPERIMENT IN THE 40'S....

Thanks, gazelle, I looked this up on several different sites, very intriguing to me. There was a sailors of the Eldridge reunion site, and they all denied it happened, I like the mysterious, so maybe it did. And what if this happened to Flight 370? Of course, as the story goes, the ship disappeared and reappeared. So maybe.

The plane crashed either on land or sea, and the sea is huge. I don't think they will find it for years. They did not say the co-pilot was trying to call anyone, just that it came in contact with a tower. I don't think the pilots had anything to do with it.

I think you're right.

My hope is that the passengers died of asphxiation long before the plane crashed. I do not think it landed elsewhere.

I do think we don't know everything the governent of Maylasia knows. The longer the time goes by, the more I think they have evidence against someone on the crew...or knowledge that the plane broke down and the air system failed, and the plane kept travelling south because there was no one to land it.

To turn back is standard in a crisis where the plane becomes unsafe, but the oxygen only lasts a few minutes.

If the plane crashed, the estimate on how long it will take for the slow sub to make the search is 4-6 weeks.

It took a year to find the Air France remains.

I think it hit the water intact and is sitting down at the bottom of the ocean.

I do not think it would be intact-- hitting the water at 600 miles per hour?

I heard some expert saying there is a good chance it hit the water intact. Otherwise, they would have had a debris field on the surface.

But who knows...

Hey maybe the seas opened up.....and swallowed them.

I think it was on CNN the other night late where they were talking about this thing they have down there now that is sweeping back and forth.....that it can't go to the bottom, as it is to far down where they are searching now.

Right now, I'm not trusting the Malaysian government one bit.

I agree and furthermore, some people have been reading too much science fiction. I think they'll never find it.

They heard pings from the frequency of a black box (a special frequency) on a plane in a very remote area of the ocean where the flight would have run out of fuel--3 or four pings within a week from different sources, but the signals got faint. Then the signals stopped. Australia (not Malaysia) has certified that they were probably from an aircraft.

This is consistent with the battery on a black box recorder (which apparently isn't black but red). There is a reasonable chance they will find wreckage. More of a chance than there was for the Air France disaster, and it took them a year but they found it.

I hope they do, for the familys' sake. I think they may find evidence to implicate either the safety of the plane itself or the sanity of the pilots, which would explain the information shortage from the Malaysian govt.

OR, they are just used to being tyrannical and aren't covering anything up. These are politicians who believe in public flogging for minor offenses. There could be some tiny reason (or some big reason) why the govt is being so cagey.

There is probably a reason, though. (Edited to correct a few typos)

All I know is....CNN is OBSESSED with this story.
