Malaysian Airways Flight 370

[TheSneakiness]

Too many questions and not enough answers, or far too many cover ups.

I read somewhere that black boxes still emit a signal days after the plane is gone/blown up/etc.

Is that true?

Normally they should transmit a signal for around about a month.

30 days apparently.

It is quite likely that it could be just a freak set of circumstances which have unfolded and the plane may be found. I believe it took a few months to find the Air france black boxes, but they knew where to look for them.

The fact that this plane appears to have travelled well off its original flight path doesn't help the narrowing down of a search area.

Either way, it is a terrible situation and I offer my condolences and thoughts to the passengers, crew and their families.
Whilst a good mystery is always intriguing and incites speculative conversation, lets not lose sight of the human element and associated grief experienced by those involved.

Spot on. I'd hate to be in the position of any of the rellies who had family on board.

And now all the conspiracy theorist nutjobs are coming out of the woodwork, concocting stupid theories about "military weapons testing". Please. Don't these people have something more constructive to do?
