For a step back for just a minute, news sites are reporting floating objects and a wooden pallet in the southern Indian ocean. I'm just sayin...

Have you seen even one media interview with the search experts worldwide, the US Coast Guard, and what they thought? Got to wonder about the media, are they even qualified to report news, I think journalists are now closer to actors on TV.

Why would someone put a wooden pallet at the bottom of the ocean?

 

[RobertBrown]

You have to be on top of it to hear it.

I didn't know you could hear it. So the "ping" is audible?
Why don't they call it a "ding" or a "ring"?

There's so much garbage floating around on the oceans we could start a clean up campaign today and not finish it in a year of Sundays.

Why would someone put a wooden pallet at the bottom of the ocean?

The answer is obvious. They are seeding the globe with recognizable carbon-14 age testing materials for future archaeologists.

If the pallet has charring or discoloration, the residue could be tested for chemical traces of rapid Li-Ion battery oxidation.

Sounds like you are saying that there is no way the wooden pallets are a marker of some sort. Are you saying that this is beyond the realm of possibility? Cause that's what I think I just heard....uh..read.
Meanwhile...there is more junk in the southern Indian ocean 1500 miles from Perth.... This is not the other junk...it's new junk, larger junk or debris....very compelling.
I wish they would find the dam plane

A Chinese satellite has spotted an object floating in the southern Indian Ocean which could be from missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. Malaysia's transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein confirms the object is 22 metres long and 30 metres wide Link to video: http://www.theguardian.com/world/vi...ght-new-objects-found-chinese-satellite-video

I hope they find the plane for the sake of the families of the missing passengers. It must be an unending nightmare to be in that position. As time passes, it seems more likely that the plane crashed rather than being hidden away somewhere.

Still a lot of open questions even if they find the wreckage. Will they find enough to figure out what happened? What is the black box able to tell? That the plane was out of fuel or technical details, but it can't read the pilot's mind.

It is not actually audible. It is 37.5khz so it is ultrasonic. Well above human hearing. But of course with proper ultrasonic listening gear it can be hetrodyned down to be be audible if need be. Normally it would be a trace on a sonar receiver display.

Yes I suppose......but I would really like some answers. I was just listening to a retired general on Fox {yea, I know FOX? right} . His take was the plane landed in Pakistan.
My point is that as of now, the plane could be anywhere. I think a lot of relavent questions will be answered with the cockpit recording.
