It is tempting to think that once we locate the missing Malaysian Airlines MH370 aircraft the answers to what actually happened will surely follow. In the last 48-72 hours both the Chinese and Australians have detected possible 'pings' from the aircraft's data recorders. If it proves to be the missing aircraft, and that is still an 'if', then this offering from long-time member crutchy might help:
This graphic shows the problem that the recovery effort will have to overcome.

Press: Either announce you found the fucking plane or shut the fuck up already.

CNN doubled their ratings with the wall-to-wall coverage.
This isn't going away anytime soon, even when someone starts massively stabbing students in a high school...
Mystery and speculation sell. There are a couple non-news cable channels that would otherwise fold instantly.

People don't want information.. They want entertainment.
And, it seems, nothing entertains like endless specultation.

What I want to know is this...where the fuck is the debris?
Correct me if I'm wrong but from what i understand those airliners have pretty thin skin and even if the pilot ran the thing out of gas its still gonna hit that water at a pretty good speed, yes? Then you have all that oil and gas, plenty of stuff onboard would float once the plane broke up, from luggage to lifevests...so where in the hell is it?
Call me Doubting Thomas but I'm having a hard time believing that a plane plowed into the sea and there wasn't shit busted up floating all over the place. A little piper cub? Sure. A military plane made to take damage staying intact? yeah I'd buy that too,but every picture of a plane crash I've ever seen showed debris spread for over a mile as the thing broke apart and even if he put it into a power dive and went in straight wouldn't the wings shear off?
ACs are never seen so don't bother. Always ready to show SJWs for the racists they are.

And it may well have broken up and had pieces scattered everywhere. But that region of the ocean is large, hard to access, and has powerful and unpredictable currents. It's quite possible that floating debris is out there and simply has not been found.

I'm thinking it landed in Kazakhstan, and the people they kept were moved to Iran.
