It described my career perfectly! Hoping to change it soon.

I know there is no standard for ending a search but in the case of this aircraft are they getting close? The news story is losing its "legs" and I wonder how much longer they will continue to try to locate the aircraft and, of course, the victims that might be on board.

 

kinda wondering the same thing. I understand that the search is costing a lot money but at the same token would they really just tell the families "sorry we tried our best but couldn't find anything"?

 

Looks like the aerial search has officially been called off.Air Search For Missing Malaysian Plane Called Off : NPR

Eyewitness saw a burning plane crossing the night sky...thinks it was MH370...

 

I knew it! UFOs shot it down. Her reasons for not coming forward earlier don't even make any sense.

 

They, his Canadian flight school, fired him for appearing on TV dressed like Bob and Doug Mackenzie? Hosers.

 

Malaysia Airlines pilot 'chief suspect' in plane's disappearance: authorities - NY Daily News

 

Actually, the Russians didn't foil it. Thanks to recent declassification of many details about Project Azorian, we now know that the Hughes Glomar Explorer's retrieval claw failed because of Lockheed's design decision to use maraging steel, which, while very strong, proved too brittle to support the Soviet submarine's weight. Had they selected a more ductile metal, the claw may not have fractured, causing 2/3 of ascending the submarine to tumble back down to the ocean floor:
Although the Soviets were tipped off that a CIA recovery operation was underway, and they did send ships to the area (two of which visited the Hughes Glomar Explorer's work site), the Russians 1) didn't know exactly where their sunken submarine was located, and 2) didn't believe recovery was actually possible. The Russian tracking ship and tug that visited Project Azorian's worksite didn't foil—or even significantly disrupt—the operation. They left the area before the Glomar's capture vehicle even reached the target object [=the sub]. Indeed, Project Azorian really only went totally sideways later, and for reasons entirely of our own making.

Lessons learned: Don't use a giant claw made of maraging steel if you want to resurrect MH370, in its entirety, from the ocean floor.
