The satellite handshakes that were last received at 8:11AM, when it was nearly out of fuel put it on the semi-circle that's been all over the media. From Kazhakastan in the north, down through norther Thailand, down to the tip of Indonesia and the southern Indian ocean where the current search is focused. That semi-circle of possible locations is nowhere near the Arabian Sea. Also if you want to do the math of how far it could have flown, the best location would be from the Straits of Malacca where it was apparently last seen on military radar at almost exactly 2 hours after takeoff. By my reasoning, that gave it a range of maybe 2800 miles from there. Probably less, because of the erratic flying. That would put the Arabian Sea within reach, but unless the sat handshake stuff is all wrong, it couldn't be there. There should be about 6 other sat semi-circles from the other times it handshaked, since they said it ocurred once an hour. I'd like to see them, as they should help shed some light on where it was. Also, I wonder if anyone thought of sending out another 777 on a test flight, turn off ACARS, see if it indeed does the handshaking and that they can in fact correctly figure out it's possible location from just the handshake. At this point, you don't know what to trust. As for the current search for those objects in the southern Indian Ocean, having looked at them again, I'm not even sure they are objects at all. If you look at the surrounding waves, it seems entirely possible to me that they are just waves. The plane is NOT in Area 51 I'm surprised we haven't heard that one yet. |
