Ah, yes, just one last search. "In days" based on "new leads."

It’s always the last place you look.

Yeah but only cuz you stop looking afterwards!

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It would be really weird if you kept looking after finding it.

It would be weirder if you found it again after you already found it and continued looking.

I would like this aircraft to be found for the families, and to solve the mystery of what happened. I'd like to locate the black boxes to see if any data could still be retrieved.

I would search the area that the pilot flew on his flight simulator, but it still seems like a very difficult task, without any certainty of success. I have doubts that the aircraft is mostly intact, and that the black boxes would be found.

Sadly I don’t even think finding the plane would end the mystery. The cockpit voice recorder only records a short loop, and it’s likely the audio of the hijacking will be gone. And Malaysia will fight hard against ent evidence of the captain hijacking it. People will still pedal dumb alternative theories and conspiracy theories.

Should I delete? I didn't see it specifically in the sidebar.

An expert hijacker purposefully hiding the wreck seems pretty far fetched.
