I find it hard to believe the US doesn't track every single plane in the world.

yes big, they have floating cell towers every 5 square miles in the ocean that could have easily tracked everyone and logged their last ip ping. cell towers that reach 30,000ft up in the air too

also, gps constantly beams a signal to space where satellites pick it up. thats exactly how it works. its not like there a a few dozen gps satellites that do nothing more then pump out a timing signal that your device uses to triangulate its own position, meaning its a one way "communication" where there actually isn't a way for the government to know where you are based off gps alone. it would be silly if they actually had to use an land based data signal to send the gps results from the phone to the nsa.

you might want to just delete this thread. save yourself man

:roll: they dont beam in a spherical pattern. geezus fucking chirst i really was debating with morons all summer. well, technical ones anyway. i wont challenge you on hvac stuff darkside. well, maybe industrial hvac controls, i did that for nearly 3 years.

I like how BF starts threads about topics that already have their own threads.

Have a sentence with a shot or one liner in it. Then follow with exclamation point!

They don't? I thought radio transmissions were onmidirectional. They're not?
If not I apologi.

Must have forgot my exclamation marker.

(Wait till Donspiracy is gone, I am going to rip him a new one)

You think after a week the plane would be found with all the tracking done these days. It's not that much water!

does the bermuda triangle beam in a spherical pattern?

Yes. But only backwards through time.

So the board was better 2 years from now!
NEAT!

A U.S. defense official said a Navy P-3 Orion aircraft had already searched the Strait of Malacca.

It is one of the most baffling mysteries in the history of modern aviation - there has been no trace of the plane since nor any sign of wreckage despite a search by the navies and military aircraft of over a dozen countries across Southeast Asia.

"It's extraordinary that with all the (satellite and telecommunication) technology that we've got that an aircraft can disappear like this," Tony Tyler, the head of the International Air Transport Association that links over 90 percent of the world's airlines, told reporters in London.

Two of the passengers on board were discovered by investigators to have false passports, but they were apparently seeking to emigrate illegally to the West.

The Boeing 777 has one of the best safety records of any commercial aircraft in service. Its only previous fatal crash came on July 6 last year when Asiana Airlines Flight 214 struck a seawall with its undercarriage on landing in San Francisco, killing three people.

technically yes, if the logical explanation is true. they actually think giant methane bubbles from the bottom of the ocean build up and release in a huge plume of gas, causing engines to fail due to lack of oxygen. you cant see it, but suddenly you crash and sink.

i dont know if they ever proved that theory though.. but it was the most logical and partially proven at some point a few years ago. more methane seeps from the ocean floor there then most any other place i guess.

The P-8, which is the U.S. Navy’s most advanced antisubmarine and aerial reconnaissance aircraft, would move into the area on Saturday to join the search in a daily rotation with the P-3, said Seventh Fleet spokesman Cmdr. William J. Marks.

The P-8 has a maximum speed of 490 knots (or nautical miles per hour), a ceiling of 41,000 feet and provides a range of more than 1,200 nautical miles with four hours on station, he said. That’s about 300 nautical miles further than the P-3.

For a search mission like this, the P-8 would typically fly at 5,000 to 10,000 feet at 350 knots, with a search time of about 8-9 hours, depending on distance to search area, he said.

Does all this cool stuff our military is using to find a plane full of dead people (as well as all the humanitarian crap) count against our massive unnecessary military budget?

They move the bill from DoD to the State Department.

Just so I am clear, everyone, including the US Military are idiots for trying to use modern technology to find any trace of any signal that at the very least can identify where the plane was last identified....but IKE SOUTH from the CSFMB is saying it is impossible to do?

Possibly?
