More news on the missing Malaysian jet.

Now an Australian ship has heard the same ping that the Chinese heard.

Ahead of a 48-hour deadline, the search for the black box of the crashed Malaysian jet in the Indian Ocean intensified today as Chinese and Australian naval ships reported a number of "encouraging leads" of electronic pulses, possibly emitted by flight data recorders. New satellite calculations have put the likely location of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 in the same spot where Chinese patrol vessel Haixun 01 detected deep water acoustic sounds on Friday and Saturday.



The jet has two black boxes, and the pings seem to be coming from about two kilometers apart, which could make sense if the plane broke apart on ditching, and then sank for 4500 meters.

Time is running out fast, but this is encouraging news.   Recovery at 4500 meters would be a challenge, but certainly not impossible.

  1. This makes ABSOLUTELY no sense. The aircraft is under control, skirts Indonesian radar and drops in the middle of nowhere.

    1. Unless it's V...the alien lizards that eat people and they beamed them off before shooting an energy beam into the jet. That's the only way this makes sense.

    2. There's a big mystery in all this, which is probably why it's so interesting.
