Malaysian 777 missing
Now they're saying the FO's cell phone tried to place a call when over flying land. They're not releasing what number it dialed. They know he turned it off consistent with the beginning of flight but at some point during the turn back, his phone turned on, connected to a tower, and he or someone tried to place a call.
The plot thickens.

How deep is too deep to physically recover anything? Sounds like the area they are looking now is 2-3,000 feet deeper than AF447 was.
Might be an academic argument. Maybe the technology doesn't exist to recover anything??

They yanked half a submarine off the seafloor at 16,000' in the early 1970s and came back with a plan to get the rest of it, although it was foiled by the russians. It may take more time to recover stuff with slower robots and submersibles at those depths, but I'm sure it would get done.

Seriously, thanks for the info.

Even though I let him be on TV he shamed us Canadians and shamed my company with the way he was dressing like he was 15 years old," he said. "People were complaining that it wasn't professional at all ... If you go to any plane you don't see them in shorts and sandals."
