I was reading an article in The Times this week by an "expert" whose favoured two theories were hijacking and suicide, so it seems suicide is back on the possibility list? The cockpit security issue again?
Nothing. They didn't track the debris because they didn't know they'd seen it at the time. The vast amount of data streamed in from these satellites is such that it can be days later when the analysis is completed for any one zone. That's why each satellite sighting hasn't been reported until two or three days after the satellite spotted the debris.
Tell me the colour of my motorcycle parked outside my house?
Cloud cover isn't conducive for optical searches add the fact that an orbit takes 90 or so minutes and tracks a different area each revolution.
The car in the google earth photo is my wife's 2002 Polo. It was taken sometime around 2006 best we can tell. That was 7 years ago. Things have progressed a great deal since then. If google earth's satellite took an updated shot when your bike was there you could indeed tell the color. Go have a look yourself instead of making a veiled attempt of calling me a liar.
Google Earth imagery at high resolution is aerial imagery, not satellite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Earth. You're not comparing like with like.
As if lithium batteries aren't expensive enough already!
Perhaps we need to open our own factory for them over here. A few forum members each sticking a fiver into the pot, should see us off to a good start.
Could you please show where you or anyone else previously mentioned using doppler shift to work out approx direction of flight path.
As I said in my last post and has been stated in the news artices, pings from the missing jet were recieved for five hours after it disappeared. Hence the existing information on the day of the crash. As it did take so long for a team of talented satellite tracking analyist to use a new method to determine the plane's final location, I find it unfortunate. Nothing more, nothing less.
