They would be looking for those as well, but all attention is focused on the 2 Acoustic Events that are 300 nms apart.
Doesn't the Black Box send out its signals continuously as long as the battery is active? Why is everyone getting excited about 2 or 3 pings received by the Chinese just by accident so far away from the so called possible crash site and then by the Aussies over a long periods apart?
They have picked up 37.5Khz pings or pulses that are 1 second apart which is what you would expect from an ELT. The Chinese Acoustic Event is exactly right on the Inmarsat Arc, and the latest calculations place this location as the most likely position of entry. The Chinese have picked it up twice already in positions only 2 kms apart. The Australian Acoustic Event is 300 nms away. It's exciting because these are positive developments which need to be investigated as a priority. Also, as the ship moves over the top of an ELT, you would expect the pings to fade away.

Lets face it, there has been nothing transparent about the MH370 from day 1, therefore, and I for one am very suspicious from any so-called "new evidence"? So far it has been one crap after another as if to let time pass by intentionally and then declare MH370 is lost forever in the South Indian Ocean without a single shred of evidence.
Yeh no worries. With so may Australian, Kiwi, US P3 Orion and P8 Poseidon in the area, I think all the entire Russian Nuclear Submarine Fleet will be on leave from the Indian Ocean. The only known Submarine in the area is British. Any submarine trying to sneak around would be running the gauntlet because the worlds best Submarine Hunters/Killers are out in force looking for MH370.
I disagree with you Kikapu. I am not at all as cynical about MH370 because I know that the number 1 priority is to find the wrechage and its Black Box. The Australian SAR Coordination Centre has been excellent, and revealed the facts they need to without jeopardizing the investigation (which is a criminal one from all reports) or effecting the psychology of the victim's families.

Most of the ships carry Sonar and are able to listen for the Black Box and they have been doing just that from Day 1 whilst trying to retrieve debris. The number 1 focus right now is to investigate the 2 Acoustic Events.
Kikapu wrote:Btw, have they found that very large 12m x 24m piece yet that the Australian satellite spotted 3 weeks ago, or at least recorded it's coordinates by now?
Maybe they have. But it is completely unrelated to MH370 and the focus is a fair way further north at Latitude 25S.
