Don't forget...they are inscrutable, what ever that means 

Constipated. You can tell from their expression.

I'm desperately jealous

Looks like they have found the pings from a black box  Best lead so far

Only if they're still attached to the plane

Latest on BBC is that they have two pings at the same time which is encouraging,ie both boxes

4 weeks should have given them enough time to drag the wreckage to the right place, play about with recorders, and drop them somewhere convenient

Probably find them floating in a battered cool box on the surface

Here's a good conspiracy that popped up on facebook.    I thought I'd share and contribute to the seam of cynicism that's running through this thread!     

UNREPORTED FACTS REGARDING Flight MH370 and the United States Military Base Diego Garcia:

* Diego Garcia is a US Military island base in the Indian Ocean
* Since MH370 has disappeared, Diego Garcia has never been mentioned to the public
* Diego Garcia has a fully operational runway and Airport
* Diego Garcia is 2,142 miles from Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)
* The island was leased by Britain in 1966. It is due for renewal in 2014
* Diego Garcia flight co-ordinates were logged into the renown Pilot's Flight Plan Simulator
* The pilot's flight simulator has 'remote take-over' capabilities
* The data from the pilot's flight simulator has now been erased
* Flight MH370 was under 'suspicious cargo' surveillance by the GRU (Russian Main Intelligence)
* 20 of the passengers work for a company which specializes in futuristic warfare and technology
* Australian Military Radar Base: The Jindalee Operational Radar Network has the capabilities of detecting movements within a radius of 37,000km
* Malaysian authorities have pleaded with the US and Australia to release to them information from their top secret radar bases in Australia
* Island residents of the Maldives (647 miles north of Diego Garcia) reported seeing a huge low flying aircraft heading SOUTH which is the direction of Diego Garcia at 6.15am the morning after it 'disappeared' from radar
* The time of departure from Kuala Lumpur to the time of the plane's sighting is accurate
* The National Maldives Defence Force dismissed these eye witness accounts on the premise of no radar detection
* It is public knowledge that flight MH370 was not detectable, or had lost signal to radar
* Almost every member of the public had no idea there was an island in the Indian Ocean housing a US Military base and Airport before the above post was shared
* Diego Garcia has been completely dismissed from the International search, and completely dismissed from public investigative speculation


It must be true!!

I had forgotten about that place... easier than faffing around with Pakistan etc, especially if they're certain it went south

Rather changes the who and why though

[Sir Tigger KC]

The CIA kidnapping the 20 employees of the company that specialises in futuristic warfare technology?   

Maybe they were working for the Chinese government and the US government thought 'We not having that!'

Nice theory BUT could you keep a whole base leak free???

Land the plane before breakfast and straight into a quarantined hanger... Not that far fetched, and the Yanks haven't exactly been at the forefront of the search

A remote speck in the middle of the Indian Ocean.  Yes probably.
