MH370 speculation sparked by debris found on Indian Ocean island

a reply to: Rocker2013

LOL so sorry.. I can’t help it.. photo : the FBI crew searching for mh370

So what are the conclusions we can draw from Mr. Ferrier's, or "the ferryman's" contribution to the story?

What points did he get across?

-The flaperon was not planted this week because he already saw it floating back in May. So definately not planted.

-There were more pieces of evidence that support the whole "MH370 debri washing up" story, only they washed away again or were burned unfortunately.

-

He also saw the wing part which washed up on Wednesday – although in May, the barnacles encrusting its side were still alive. By the time it washed ashore again this week, the crustaceans were dead Read more: www.smh.com.au...

Apparently this is important and had to be included for future reference.

-

Mr Ferrier has not told his tale until now because he has been in hospital for several days; Read more: www.smh.com.au...

Ok? Before anyone asks?


The whole thing sounds so contrived to me.

The whole thing sounds so contrived to me. **not sure what the phrase means .. so sorry /sorry enter butt not working// personally: the article.. I burned them pointing at the ashes near him.. the seat he burned the suitcase he burned.. all in that pile of ashes right there next to him.. nothing that can’t be identified .. dna tested ?.. or the lady and her son.. they are all poor as church mice.. her son opened the suitcase... but then let it on the beach because the water started raising.. but till wednesday they thought nothing of it.. the beach that is completely empty at all times because it is infested with sharks.. in 3 months no one visits .. everything very inconvenient.. and i think it was said here the piece they found.. doe not have id codes on it.. again inconvenient .. then the main search guy says .. this does not mean more stuff will get washed up

.. does anyone know yet who the luggage belongs to?

I think it's plausible they will be finding more evidence in the coming days and weeks and that collectively this will conclusively prove that the plane did ditch in the area they have been searching.

I heard some guy claimed there was less than a 10% chance the currents would carry the flaperon from the search area impact site to the location where it was found, so I did some looking on my own. I found this map of the ocean currents on this link:

oceanmotion.org...

Then I took the search area map from Wikipedia and tried to superimpose it on the ocean current map, and got this showing the orange ovals where they've been searching, and the red diamond showing where the flaperon was found. The ocean currents on this map are perhaps over-simplified, but still it looks like a good match for the search area to me, though it won't help them narrow down the search area much unless there's some unique barnacles growing on it that have a specialized location but the possibility of that seems remote:


It looks like those arrows show how it could be carried from where it was lost to where it was found.

They've found what appears to be window framing now as well.

Sorry to correct you again there, if you are not going to do it yourself.

It is the front cover of a sewing machine actually......as pointed out by tommyjo in another thread.

www.pprune.org...

a reply to: YouPeople

It certainly does resemble a sewing machine, but then, it also looks like the inside part of an aircraft....

to early to say either...imo

thank you for the addition

Thanks for noticing.

Which phrase are you refering to?

a reply to: Darkblade71

Are you kidding, it is the exact same piece minus a few parts.

a reply to: YouPeople

It is very close, yes,
but it could still be a part of the aircraft.

a reply to: Darkblade71

If you are delusional maybe.

a reply to: YouPeople

Well, it is an important enough piece for them to look at first before determining what it is.

Like I said, it could be a piece of a sewing machine, but then again, it might not be,
but I also am no expert, are you?

The only expertise I need is to say there's no reason to put cutouts that look like sewing machine control cutouts on the frame of an airplane window, and airplane designers don't do things without reason. So, if that pprune photo is correct, I can't say for sure that it's from a sewing machine, but I'm pretty sure it's not an airplane window frame.

a reply to: Arbitrageur

Looked to small for a window frame.
Does look like the cover of a sewing machine.
Also was found close to a twisted up piece of ladder from a house,
so chances are it is a sewing machine,
but I can't say for certain,
my knowledge of airplanes is simply as a passenger on many flights.

Maybe there was a sewing machine on the airplane...

lol

You know, I was almost totally convinced that MH370 crashed in the Indian Ocean until I read this article today:

"The Case of the MH370 Wing Segment Keeps Getting Weirder"
gizmodo.com...

My wife is and has always thought that the plane and people were kidnapped and they are on some CIA island somewhere. She may be right.

The excessive number of barnacles on the flaperon indicates to the authorities that the part would have been suspended 20-30 feet below the surface of the water. Normally an item like this will either float on the surface where it wouldn't get barnacles on it or it would have no buoyancy and sink to the ocean floor.

Something to ponder!!

But what would be the point of keeping everyone on an island like that? That theory makes little if any sense!

Good question. I asked that one too and if you think about it - the 777 could be used to attack a country (China?) filled with passengers made to look like it was legit until it hit it's target. Imagination can take you anywhere!!

Yes, but it's been a year. The passengers have all vanished and if they were being held prisoner then surely something would have emerged about them by now - people talk the more people know about a secret like that then the more the chances of someone leaking something (which is why I think that the 9/11 conspiracy theorists are full of crap as they fail to acknowledge basic human nature). Nothing has emerged. Nothing about the 777 has emerged - apart from the debris.
I know some aerospace insurers and they tell me that this is one of the most intriguing and frustrating crashes they've ever dealt with. The engineers are pulling their hair out trying to work out what on earth could have happened to the plane.
