Malaysian Airlines flight is missing (Part 2) (MH370)

Why are people acting like the "deleted data" is so mysterious? It sounds like they are fukking game saves on the flight simulator.

+1. Its stretching.

I just deleted my internet history and a bunch of old useless files I had. Im a terrorist.

I realize they have to chase every lead but I also agree it's ridiculous. BRB watch buddy **** around on his sim for hours on end. Let's be honest, this guy isn't going to be dumb enough to fly the exact route he took this plane on >IF< he was the one who stole it. BRB Plan elusive heist but get caught because I flew the exact route on my flight sim... damn...

lol...apparently, this is the Norwegian ship that's helping with the search...

probably sees wreckage











reverse thrust, finally stops 1 mile from wreckage







"aw fuk bye"

Waves.

CNN is saying they'll likely be able to retrieve the deleted files on the pilot's flight simulator. anyone care to guess how long that's gonna take? lol.

It's a VERY difficult process where they literally have to sift through the entire hard drive bit by bit basically. Nothing is ever deleted from your HD, it just loses the 'pointers' or the address associated with a block of data. Unless you reformat your harddrive all the data stays forever. It just gets jumbled and mixed with with tons of other ****. Could be hours, could be months.

I just wish they would keep this stuff private until they figured out if it is the plane or not.

This is essentially what the FBI is trained to do though right?

distraction so terrorists aren't prepared when USA drops bombs on their hideout (dead srs this is my theory)

Really doubt they'll show anything. They were apparently deleted months ago. If he was using this flight sim as his main training tool for this operation, then I don't get why he'd stop using it months before he executed his plan.

Given that they have software to recover the data, the bulk of the work is getting the team to look through the files once discovered. It shouldn't take that long and it depends to what extend did the pilot erase the data, a simple recycle bin/delete should be very easy to recover. If it was professionally erased, that makes things more difficult.

There were only deleted last month, and I doubt these are huge data-hungry files that one would delete to save hard disk space. Maybe it was nefarious, or maybe the pilot just liked keeping a clean hard drive.

Regarding the debris seen of the coast of Australia - who knows. I'm not optimistic based on basically every other "lead" this case has had, but obviously this is worth checking out. What bothers me the most is one of the few facts investigators HAVE determined is that the changed flight-plan was actually programmed into the computer, and was done so at least 12 minutes prior to the pilot calmly signing off from Malaysian airspace. So theoretically the pilot could have killed his co-pilot, then put the jet on same crazy course out into the South Indian ocean, but this would be a really weird bit of psychology as planned suicides typically have some urgency (it NOT waiting 7 hours on a jet for it to hop around and run out of fuel). Additionally, killing off 230+ others in your suicide bid also is far beyond any normal suicide. One can perhaps imagine some kind of a life-insurance policy type of reason for this to happen, but from what I've read the pilot had just divorced his wife, and his co-pilot was not married. While the jet may be found in the ocean somewhere, there is so much other (speculative) evidence that points to it landing somewhere and being part of a larger plot.

wtf you think they've been doing

[AppleCat]

wtf you think they've been doing

Release information: 'Why would they release this before they're certain?'
Not release information: 'What are they hiding? Why won't they keep us updated on the latest leads?'

[SubWooferCooker]

what happened to rigbrah?

[G0S9G]

what happened to rigbrah?

Rigbrah was wrong, they chocked it up as meteorites as apparently there was a shower in that area that night.

[DunkinD]

wtf you think they've been doing

They been saying they think they found the plane...or there was a sighting of the plane then it comes out that is was false or wasnt the plane. Why release that info until you are 100% sure. I know if I had family on that plane I wouldnt like it

if i had a loved one on that plane, i'd like full disclosure of what the authorities are doing.

[Carrrl]

Australia has been on this search what??? 2 minutes and they found something!!

Damn

Australia has been searching before most countries besides it is right beside their shore.

[moosecakes4all]

If anyone can do a thorough job of it, the FBI would be at the top of that list. I can recover stuff with my own at home software, but it might take me many hours, depending on how long ago it was erased and rewritten over, and I certainly wouldn't be able to get every last important bit out of it. The FBI can do a much better job than me, a computer tech, could. They won't just stop at finding a few interesting files, I have a feeling they will likely keep going until every last bit of evidence is recovered.

For reference, when George Zimmerman smashed his computer after fighting with his girlfriend, the FBI said it would take them 3 or so months (IIRC) to recover the data.

the ones saying "there was a sighting" aren't the authorities, its coconut ppl in the fukking Maldives looking for attention.

[Gillettee]

Has anyone searched craigslist?

[TheAmericano]

What is sad is that each nation is holding back on the technology to search for this plane. The world is watching and no one wants to 'show what they have'. They are giving us some of the most potato satellite images.

Got a source on this? I've heard people mention it before, but none of the news channels I'm following discuss it in their latest updates. I thought there was some confusion over whether they had already turned of the ACARS before the verbal sign off, but they late said this was not true, rather the final ACARS signal came before the verbal sign off, but the next one due half an hour later never came.

[Growbag]

i'm pretty certain the plane is in a hanger somewhere to be used for an act of terrorism in the near future.

i don't even want to speculate what happened to the passengers and cabin crew.

[pepsiconk]

It's only a few hours until sunrise in the area they suspect the wreckage of being, let's hope they set off with good timing so they get there for sunrise, dying to know how this is going to turn out.

[Awhat]

Thanks brah, I won't be checking here for a while, I'm play with this new toy, it's called a Tamagotchi, not sure you will have heard of it yet.

apparently they have a new thing called a Nintendo 64. Pretty good graphics IMO
