Malaysia Air Flight 370

[Junior Bonner]

Confirmation today.

"I hope that this confirmation, however tragic and painful, will at least bring certainty to the families and loved ones of the 239 people on board MH370," said a somber Prime Minister Najib Razak. "They have our deepest sympathy and prayers."

New science says they have almost pinpointed the location of the wreckage.

The authors of the new study are physicist and avionics expert Richard Godfrey, Dr. Hannes Coetzee and Professor Simon Maskell. They used an archive of records of radio waves transmitted by ham operators at the time to identify and track MH370 where there was no radar coverage and only intermittent satellite data transfers, or pings. Scientists have found that the movement of aircraft through these radio waves is visible in the data recorded by what is known as the Weak Signal Propagation Reporter Network, or WSPRnet, better known as "whispernet." The idea of using amateur radio signals as a passive radar system to detect and track aircraft was first proposed in a NATO paper written by the Finnish Air Defence Academy in 2016.

Dang, that’s pretty wild, and cool.

That entire story is wild, and the end is pretty dark. I couldn’t imagine. Hopefully some questions get answered soon.

"Using whispernet data, Godfrey and his co-authors were able to ascertain that the plane banked south into the Indian Ocean and flew for seven hours 35 minutes before it ran out of fuel and then glided for 11 minutes before subsequently crashing."

“Broadly we can identify a probable crash site area of ocean 70 nautical miles by 42 nautical miles within which there are hotspots where the likelihood that the aircraft will be increases."

"The high probability area we have defined is 10sq. km. With their new technology Ocean Infinity can cover an area like that in just a couple of weeks."


Thanks for update!
Its fascinating how people can be so resourceful!

I hope they find it. But I'm not very hopeful that they will.

How it could go down from the altitude so fast that not a word was transmitted!

If they lost cabin pressure, they were probably either dead or unconscious before they started descending.
