Malaysian Airlines flight is missing, 239 passengers on board

Defective outsourced wings with cracks in them?

They will find the black box.  I was listening to NPR today and I think they said only one hasn't been found since 1972.  Even one that was thousands of feet below the ocean.  They said it was possible, but highly improbably that it did anything other than crash.

these black boxes emit their signals under water for 30 days before going silent....hopefully, they can get to that one before this month is over.....but in the case of the airfrance flight 447 that crashed on it's way to paris from brazil back in 2009, they didn't recover that black box until almost two years later from the ocean floor, I guess you can't miss a Bright orange color object easily........I'm surprised these bodies or any debris hasn't floated yet......this is becoming one of the most challenging plane crash search and recovery in recent memory

more up to date information is stored online on twitter about a dumb slut crank head in albuquerque new mexico then a mulit million dollar jet plane and its precious cargo

Honeywell needs to add a tracking system to go along with the emitting signals.
Would make it easier.

exactly...some people are now saying the blackbox technology is outdated and they need to upgrade this very soon....but, I'm sure the airlines will say that it will cost them Millions and that's too much

Honeywell probably works on the statistics, someone said 99.9% of planes are found.
Its definately outdated, it would cost many millions to engineer a gps tracking system to find a plane full of bodies.

They should give passengers parachutes, when that plane is going down, open that exit door and jump out like Rambo did in Rambo 2....though he got hung up.

I love how the media creates news instead of reporting it "the phones of the passengers are still ringing" get the fuck out of here.

Like Ed Norton in Fight Club, where he is talking about the car manufacturer he works for, and they weigh the cost of a lawsuit versus the cost of a recall.  Capitalism baby!

Odd how the black boxes in many cars can tell how fast you were going, how long, fuel mileage, what you were doing with the car (drag racing) and in some cars, know which track you were at...
And the GPS systems put on Bieber's rented Gallardo could tell where he was at what time, speed, etc.

I don't know what the black boxes on planes can do...

and now look at GM.

rented, damn.

cant they track there so called ringing phones.
have they found any debris or just a long oil slick?

how does this work legally, does Malaysian sue Boeing, does Boeing blame Malaysian airlines maintenance, do families have a right to sue?

haahahha......blackboxes on airplanes has been one of the best invention in aviations...these suckers can stand a 2000 degree fire for 1hr before they completely destroyed and according to the statistics from FAA, the last 100 plane crashes dating back to 1979, black boxes have been able to help solve and answered many problems, issues......black boxes can tell the speed, altitude, behaviors and all that stuff.....if they can find the black box from this latest plane crash, they can tell if the plane broke up while falling or if it crashes in one piece and what I like the most is that the flight data recorder can tell what or if the pilots took any actions before the crash or if they had time to react at all......it's been a great invention, but the technology needs to improve and I'm sure after this latest catastrophe, there will be improvements

We know more about Justin Biebers Drag racing in Miami than we do about this plane missing

[Thick Nick]

What we need is TA copy and pasting false info from other sites here like he did for the Boston bombings. That is the only way we can solve this mystery.

In this day and age why arent black boxes sending that info in real time to a server somewhere......effective ly making the actual "box" obsolete 

[myosaurus]

some think its terror related, most likely Chinese..

[240 is Back]

maybe the plane is just hiding because it's plane wife wouldn't get off its back.  Think that might be it?  Maybe it just needed to get away for a while. 

[tommywishbone]

That plane is fucking enormous. I don't care if it exploded at 35,000 feet going 500 miles per hour. There should be a huge debris field somewhere- if it crashed.

Worst. Gimmick. Ever.

[sososue]

Bearing in mind the Black boxes always survive, why dont they make the planes out of the same material as the black box?

No one ever killed and planes always in one peice.

Rocket boosters and cost shouldnt come before peoples lives.

depends on the people.

Sorry, profit comes first, its not plausible for airlines to make there planes out of that material, Im not saying its not possible, but each flight would probably cost $25000 when its costing $300 now.

I cant be bothered to check what material is used for black boxes but I guarantee they cant make a plane out of it.
