OK guys, let's get down to a few facts.
The 239 passengers are in all likelihood deceased. Of course, I wish that I am wrong about that, but it is so remote and practically an impossibility.
If MH370 went along the northern corridor, it would be picked up by the Russians, Chinese, Indians, or Kazakstan.
MH370 has crashed. I really doubt that with all the surveillance capability from Primary Radar installations around the globe, from Malaysia to Thailand to India and Australia's JORN I believe the authorities have information which they are withholding from the public. However, countries are sharing some information amongst themselves which they are not allowed to reveal and even that is limited because all countries are not willing to reveal the true extent of their surveillance umbrellas.
In all likelihood, MH370 has ditched in the Southern part of the Indian Ocean or the Southern Ocean due fuel exhaustion. I believe that because that is where the Americans and Australians are saying. Clearly, they are working on information that they have from their network of Satellites, which I may add have very powerful cameras that can zoom in and even read number plates of cars. In fact, anecdotal claims are that they can practically read a newspaper from space (make of that what you will). The fuzzy stills they released to the public are not the same stills they have in their possession. Now I don't know anything about these capabilities, but there is some very credible evidence of what places like Pine Gap and Agios Nikolaos are. They are just spy and listening posts which are part of a global network of other stations in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, US, Japan, UK and Germany all belonging to 5 Anglophone countries. All these bases are linked and process millions of signals and data that span the globe including Satellite imagery.
I also believe that some debris will be found. The black box will be a little more difficult especially if it is in 4000m of water. Also, the debris if found could be a couple of hundred miles away from the actual crash site due to the prevailing currents. They will be able to extrapolate a probable crash site but unless that have commercial submarines capable of scouring the ocean floor at 4000m then they probably will never find it. unless they pick up the Emergency Locator Beacon which I don't know if it can transmit through such a massive volume of water.
I hope they find it because I am getting a little sick of all the stupid theories the media is coming up with. Also, the families will need some closure.
