Missing 777

"It would be well for your government to consider that having your ships and ours, your aircraft and ours, in such proximity... is inherently DANGEROUS. Wars have begun that way"

Most counties don't have subs.... dump trucks, yes. But subs. No.

Great Britain, China, Russia and USA iirc are the four nations officially operating nuclear under water boats.

Lots of opportunity for games with those four players. The Aussies may try to slip a Collins class or two sub into the mix however. They are diesel electric and suffer short under water range. Rather quiet however at slow speeds or when stationary.

Hey now eh; we Canadians have very costly submarines. One can always see them at the dock on display. They daren't leave in case they submerge.

The Germans have a pretty quiet sub. With lots of range. It could probably play in the Shark pool with no one being the wiser!

New pings detected. They say they have four within a 17 mile grouping.

Iirc the Germans and Dutch are in bed together regarding submarines but I thought they were conventional?

With these multiple pings. The pilot, copilot or who ever was messing around with that flight. They must have had a couple of extra pingers and tossed them out the window near the end if the flight .
Either that or somebody later tossed beacons in the ocean after the southern arc was defined.
I hope this isn't much worse with that 777 sitting in Iran or Pakistan.

Type 212.

Maybe a whale ate the pinger and that's why its moving.
