Airliner Missing

[BanzaiCat]

Who knows who is coordinating everything...or if there even IS coordination. Considering it took a concentrated effort and two years of searching to find that Air France box in the middle of the Atlantic between Africa and South America, considering how much real estate they have to cover over in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, no telling how many years they'll spend looking and chasing signals from their own boats.

I agree with you. The whole 'listening to their own ship's ping' took me a-back, though.

The debris which washed up on Reunion Island have been confirmed to be from Malaysian flight 370.

First time we've found *anything* on this flight.

By eyeballing all those maps it looks like the search area was really close to where we think the debris originated, but a miss as as good as a mile :(

Maybe now we'll be able to recover more.
