Objects found in Malaysia Airlines search

Breaking news suggests more objects were found they dont sound like they would be related though being grey or green & orange?

There is grey on the outer skin paint, and the inner skin that passengers never see is green.

This is a story that continues to be a head-scratcher. There's nowhere in the Southern Indian Ocean to land a 777! The only land there is the French Southern & Antarctic Lands, which is their version of the Falklands, only nastier. And it doesn't have an airstrip capable of taking a 777. Where were the pilots going and why???

The Kerguelen Islands do not have an airstrip at all.

So that latest story about new objects being found says they think the orange objects could be life rafts that were deployed when the plane broke up. This leads me back to the whole ELT thing again....if these are found to be life rafts from the flight, wouldn't the ELT's on these rafts have emitted a signal to the satellites when they hit water and were deployed? Leads me to think these are NOT life rafts, but if they are then how is it explained away that every device on board this plane that was supposed to emit some type of signal of distress just happens to fail?

I think the most likely scenario is that that's not where the plane was being deliberately flown at all. It was turned back, intended to go either back to KL or another airstrip in Malaysia, but then kept flying on autopilot for whatever reason. But if it was turned back then why no emergency call? Even if the pilots were killed before they could get a distress call out (by a hijacker for example) then surely passengers or crew would notice something was amiss and be able to make phone calls or send texts while the plane was over land?

Anyway it looks like they are now pretty sure it crashed in the Southern Indian Ocean. news link

Occams's razor. The more outlandish and extreme things that are needed to explain this, the less likely.

Believe it or not it wouldn't be the first time. Those rafts get checked/changed periodically. It's not that far a stretch that they had been installed long enough for the batteries to have gone bad.

Obviously there was some sort of deadly virus released on board by US or Israeli chemwar agents and the pilot bravely dumped the plane in the Indian Ocean where it couldn't hurt anyone.

Probably used a stealth fighter to gain entry while the plane was in flight.

Let's see if there are unexplained illnesses and deaths among the searchers #reeltroof

May I ask a question here for you all to contemplate.

It just dawned on me and it's something I feel is necessary.
First though a few asks from those of you who know.

Regarding the search.

How many vessels are responding?
what type of vessels are they?
Which nationality are those belonging to?

The reason I ask is because tbth I don't trust those that lead us all into conflicts nor the very same people that profit from it.

With the other events going on that are warm to say the least I would like to ask........

How long will it take for the ships if of military purpose take to return to their designated areas.

Think football team without defenders.

Would a wild goose chase play a significant part in a plan of which would benefit if all are out at sea?

A number of civilian ships have been diverted at various time to search areas. There are now 12 aircraft participating, including New Zealand, Australia, China, Japan, and the US. The US had two destroyers, as well as at least one more ship on the way (it might have been two), Australia, and China had ships involved as well. Previously, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore all had ships involved. Malaysia and Singapore may still have them involved. There is also a UK warship heading that way, that has very sensitive sonar to listen for the recorders.

True...but they have seem to show a heck of a lot of debris. I wonder when these images were from? There are three dates, the last by digiglobe, 2014 so they're obviously all copyrights.
This is approx. 50-100 ft over the ocean, directly between the Kerguelen Islands and the islands just right of them (east, I think)
Ah well...God bless them all.

I am not seeing any debris in that photo. Additionally, what would it have been from as MH 370 did not have remotely enough fuel to reach that location?

Debris? Ice?

They look like whitecaps to me honestly.

reply to post by Zaphod58

Well I'm only looking on a small phone screen so you could be right. But you certainly get plenty of icebergs at the latitude of Kerguélen.

reply to post by Rob48


Looking closer it looks like a combination of both. Some of the bigger ones look like they could be ice.

To further expound upon it, the Southern area only has the HMAS Surprise, as far as ships go. They are diverting civilian ships as necessary. The Chinese Snow Dragon ice-breaking research vessel sailed from Perth heading to the search area.

Aircraft include P-3 Orions from Japan, New Zealand, Australia, and the US. At least one US Navy P-8 Poseidon, and two Chinese Il-76s. Two more aircraft from Japan, and one from the UAE are heading to the area, along with the HMS Echo, which is a hydrographic survey ship. The US is also sending the towed pinger locator, which was specifically designed to hear the pings from aircraft recorders.

There are a total of 26 countries involved in the search.

doesnt have to be an airstrip, road, highway, hell even a beach can be used to land one of these, just has to be firm enough

sudden decompression, cockpit window being blown in, structural failure or emergency hatch opening after crap fix, the pilots and crew would suffocate / pass out really quickly and that is that, you have a ghost flight, could have been a cockpit fire, has happened previously on an Air Egypt flight, could have burned through everything and the smoke may have caused a problem also, my theory is that they found they had a problem and turned back, taking them towards the straights to dump fuel and they have lost it from there, may have present the autopilot for a south track and the aircraft has flown on until they have lost fuel and come down in the ocean
