Woman loses relatives on both planes.

Very sad.

Flying over an active conflict area wasn't a very bright move. Feel for the families.

That wouldn't surprise me at all.

No one looking.

Perhaps everyone was looking at the wrong hand all along anyway. Hard to find something that isn't there.

"(CNN) -- The four acoustic pings at the center of the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 for the past seven weeks are no longer believed to have come from the plane's black boxes, a U.S. Navy official told CNN."

Lost, and now forgotten.
Flight 370 has disappeared a second time. This time from the headlines.

"While families demand answers, it seems that the rest of the world has forgotten the lost Malaysian Airlines plane."

Just days before the 2016 Presidential Election and right after being asked by Fox News what happened in Benghazi, Hillary will announce she has located MH370! There will be a televised welcoming like the one in "Close Encounters" for the plane, crew and passengers.

I sure hope not.

My wife has banned the use of that name in our house - probably because its use is followed by someone spitting on the floor.

Air search is done.

SYDNEY, Australia — Prime Minister Tony Abbott of Australia announced on Monday an end to the search by air for debris from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, but he said the underwater search would be intensified and expanded.

The "Ocean Shield" has detected the pings again.

Angus Houston, the head of a joint agency coordinating the search for the missing plane in the southern Indian Ocean, said that the Australian navy's Ocean Shield picked up the two signals in a sweep on Tuesday.

"I think we are looking in the right area but I am not prepared to confirm anything until such time someone lays eyes on the wreckage," he said.

The Ocean Shield first detected the sounds late Saturday and early Sunday before losing them, but managed to find them again on Tuesday, Houston said. The ship is equipped with a U.S. Navy towed pinger locator that is designed to pick up signals from a plane's black boxes - the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder.

"Hopefully in a matter of days, we will be able to find something on the bottom that might confirm that this is the last resting place of MH370," Houston said at a news conference in Perth, the starting point for the search in the southern Indian Ocean.

"I'm now optimistic that we will find the aircraft, or what is left of the aircraft, in the not too distant future - but we haven't found it yet, because this is a very challenging business," he said.

Sounds like garbage to me but,

BREAKING NEWS: Russian sources claim missing plane landed in Afghanistan after being hijacked and flown to the Afghanistan border.
A source, reported to be a member of Russia's FSB secret service, told the Russian paper: "All the passengers are alive.
"They have been divided into seven groups and are living in mud huts with almost no food."
The Russian report said 'Asian specialists' from the passengers and crew have been taken to a bunker in Pakistan.
The details, reported here by the Sun, will add to the uncertainty for the loved ones of those on board the missing plane.

"The Australian navy's Ocean Shield, which is carrying high-tech sound detectors from the U.S. navy, picked up two separate signals within a remote patch of the Indian Ocean far off the west Australian coast that search crews have been crisscrossing for weeks. The first signal lasted two hours and 20 minutes before it was lost. The ship then turned around and picked up a signal again — this time recording two distinct "pinger returns" that lasted 13 minutes, Houston said."

It seems so, dispatch a sub or robot ASAP.

The "Ocean Shield" is going to launch an unmanned sub tomorrow that will start mapping the ocean floor in search for debris. They believe they may have found the haystack, now it's a matter of finding the needle.

A pulse signal has been detected in the search for the missing plane.

Here is a link from CNN
http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/05/world/asi ... nes-plane/

(CNN) -- A Chinese patrol ship looking for signs of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in the southern Indian Ocean discovered Saturday a pulse signal with a frequency of 37.5 kHz, state news agency Xinhua reported.
"That is the standard beacon frequency" for both so-called black boxes -- the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder, said Anish Patel, president of pinger manufacturer Dukane Seacom.
"They're identical."
But experts cautioned that no confirmation had been made that the signal was linked to the missing plane.
"We are unable to verify any such information at this point in time," the media office of the Joint Agency Coordination Centre said in an e-mail.
"This could be a variety of things," said oceanographer Simon Boxall, who said the frequency is used by a variety of instruments.
"We've had a lot of red herrings, hyperbole on this whole search," the lecturer in ocean and earth science at the University of Southampton told CNN. "I'd really like to see this data confirmed."
