mattwnz: This looks to now be the conclusion about the pings, and they likely didn't come from the black box at all.
Where did you get this information from? I haven't seen anything that suggested this. Are you saying they made up what they have said to have heard? There were two pingers detected, as would have been expected. The frequencies detected were within the expected range allowing for battery voltage etc.
mattwnz:joker97: Not so confident now are they
Yeap, I still don't think they will find it in the near future. It will need technology advancements to find it I think. Not unless some wreckage washes up, or it actually crashed on land somewhere. It's going to be one of those great mysteries like 'Jack the ripper', what caused the 'titanic to sink' etc.
What are you calling the near future?
Don't forget they never heard the FDR or CVR pingers from the AF 447 flight yet they found the FDR and CVR from that crash. It took a year to do it but they found it.
I say they'll find MH 370 within a similar time frame as AF 447.
I'd say it's normal practice to review what they've done and where they've searched in any search like this to makes sure they haven't missed the obvious or made a totally wrong assumption. I don't see it a review as admission they have it all wrong or have no idea where it is, I see it as a common sense thing to do.
