Can we speak the truth here? It should be a legitimate question, but I'm sure many will burn me just for asking... At this point, there could be survivors, but that creates a very vicious world. If they exist, their existence probably wouldn't one the average viewer could stomach easily... My question to others would be: if there are survivors of this, should they not be shielded from the media? I would think so, at this point if they survived they likely did unspeakable things, is that sort of thing open to the press, if so, why? I'll add the link and some copy/paste stuff to placate our overlords... Yeah, that's a smiley for my overlords... (CNN) -- Malaysian officials say they can tell you how Flight 370 ended. It crashed into the Indian Ocean, they'll say, citing complicated math as proof. They can tell you when it probably happened -- on March 8, sometime between 8:11 and 9:15 a.m. (7:11 to 8:15 p.m. ET March 7), handing you a sheet with extraordinarily technical details about satellite communications technology. What they still can't tell you is why, or precisely where, or show you a piece of the wreckage. All those uncertainties are too much for relatives of the 239 people aboard the plane, some of whom marched to the Malaysian Embassy in Beijing to denounce the airline, the country and just about everything involved with an investigation that has transfixed the world and vexed experts. "I'm so mad," one upset family member told reporters. He said he felt there was "no evidence" that the passenger jet crashed in the Indian Ocean. http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/25/world/asia/malaysia-airlines-plane/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
There won't be survivors, but if there were, they would only want to be shielded from the media up until the point they got an agent and sold their story for a billion dollars.
I dont see how their can be survivors - Even 3 hours before it is thought to have gone down it was at least 5 hours from any landfall
There will be no survivors. The area the plane went down in is so remote, with no land within 1000 kilometers, and weather wild enough to drive off naval search craft, they'll be lucky to find any wreckage let alone a body.
I can understand the opinions you guys have, but to truly survive would take a step more, which at this point is actually possible, not probable, but possible... If anyone does make it out, should they be subject to the media???? I would think not, but, I doubt that will matter...
True, but I'm not sure the media could handle what might be out there... - - - Updated - - - Your lack of faith in humanity sort of disturbs me... One will survive...
How exactly is it possible to survive hours by jet from land in one of the harshest oceans on the planet with no supplies, no raft, etc.?
How do you think? It isn't rocket science, I'm absolutely positive that at least one is alive now, its only human nature, how they do it is up to them, but don't count them out and don't bother them if they make it...
Nobody can survive 2 weeks in a rough ocean. Even on the .00000001% chance somebody survived the crash, the ocean would have swallowed them up within a day. There are no survivors. Let's not be absurd here
They would have no supplies, no raft, probably be severely injured, in water temperatures that this time of year are only a few degrees above freezing, hundreds of miles at a minimum from land, and its been more than a week. If anyone survived the initial crash they would have died of dehydration or drowned from exhaustion by now. What exactly do you base your absolute positivity on?
I base my comment on human nature, it's a beast, as we are when we get to our roots. I give it 2 days, if one isn't found by then, I'll concede...
Human nature can't cause someone to live for more than 2 weeks without water in 40 degree storm-wracked seas.. Your comment is insane.
their all dead. the sharks ate em days ago "They have told us all lives are lost,' says relative of Malaysia Airlines passenger" link
Lets wait then. I'm confident one will still be around, if the plane actually crashed, which we have no evidence of yet...
Following a recent helicopter crash in the North Sea, off Scotland, the hypothermia survival time WITH a lifejacket and a membrane survival suit was given as five to thirty minutes. The North Sea in winter is probably warmer than where the plane went down.
We know the direction of the flight, and the limit of the fuel supply. That's why they are looking in the area. Survival isn't possible
If it was all about odds nobody would be here... Sorry but regardless of theories and such, how are WE here? Going by the math we should be dead...
If this is an example of the evidence you use to form confident opinions, then your opinions on every topic should be suspect from now on. - - - Updated - - - Back up this claim with evidence.
Billy Connolly had a riff on honest airline safety chats back in the eighties, that went something like: "Ladies and Gentleman, in the highly unlikely event the aircraft suffers a loss of power, in all probability we'll go into the ground like a f***ing dart. We would be obliged if you would wear your lifejacket on the way down. This will do you no good, but when archaeologists find you in 200 years time, they'll think there once was a river there'.
Unlike you I believe in humanity and it's survivability, perhaps they won't find anyone, and perhaps the plane didn't crash, the truth is nobody knows, I'll still put my bets on humans surviving this viscous world... I am utterly unconcerned if you question all of my posts, feel free, but remember, I've been here for a bit, and not because I don't understand what this is all about. If you wish to question each of my posts, feel free, but if you get in my way I will respond...
You are taking it as a given that they crashed. That is not established. The plane may have been hijacked and secreted away. In such a scenario, the passengers could be in a holding cell somewhere.
