The search for flight 370 has been underway in the southern Indian Ocean for almost four days, but there still hasn’t been any sign of the missing Boeing 777. Top analysts will tell you that the plane’s projected flight path would have led it straight to the area that is being searched, but there hasn’t even been a hint of evidence to suggest their calculations are true. According to CNN , researchers in the area have learned that the vast ocean is nearly impossible to comb through because of deep trenches and never-before-discovered underwater volcanoes, but that the best is being done to try and locate the fuselage.
“It’s like an ant in a football field. It’s just a different way of thinking underwater. People think on land how they can see 100 miles. In the deep ocean, if you can see 100 feet you’re doing pretty good,” explained oceanographer Dr. Jules Jaffe.
Flight 370 went off radar about seven months ago, and was never seen or heard from again. The Malaysia Airlines plane — with 239 passengers and crew on board — could be anywhere by now, but the focus remains on one of the most treacherous areas of ocean on the earth. Without a trace of evidence in the ocean, many people are thinking that the plane could be somewhere else — on land perhaps, and that it will be used for an attack, similar to 9/11, in the future.
According to Heavy , Lt. General Thomas G. McInerney fueled speculation of a new airplane (using the missing MH370) attack during a segment on Fox News that aired back in August. However, 9/11/14 passed as any other day would. That said, a 9/11-style attack wouldn’t have to happen on American soil to make it relevant. Conspiracy theories aside, could the large aircraft have landed in Afghanistan, Pakistan, No. Korea, or maybe a completely unassuming country, to be changed — painted or even dismantled — and used for something years from now? Will people see the Boeing 777 used to kill innocent people someday?
The whereabouts of flight 370 have become quite concerning for people who truly believe that this plane landed safely somewhere, and will be used for another purpose down the road.
The ocean can be searched for years and years to come, but what if the search is in the wrong place completely?
As previously reported by The Inquisitr , it seems as though this huge aircraft has been hidden easier than Osama Bin Laden — even if it is at the bottom of the ocean. That suggests, of course, that it could take longer to find the plane than it did to find Bin Laden… which is crazy to many people, given the advanced technology and intelligence the world has today.
