Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
TL;DW:
There's definitely a bit of hype for TV, with the way they are so certain that they've found it without actually going there and searching. However it does seem very promising; I hope they do go back out there and look for it.
Realistically, even if they find the wreckage, after nearly a decade in salt water, under an enormous oceanic pressure there's a strong possibility the black boxes will be damaged beyond recovery. And what if the pilot in charge pulled the CVR breaker so the tape is empty anyway?
I'm all for finding the wreckage, but even if they do, i'm not sure we'll ever going to find out what really happened.
I just think we need to find the wreckage and get it over with. Plus we only have theories not any evidence in this case. So say to a grieving family that the dude they are grieving killed a bunch of people, and killed himself doing so all you want, but I just want to be sure hes guilty before I say anything about him.
A 20min segment, nothing new really.
From the intro: "Richard Godfrey is no crackpot."

I posted this in the other thread about 60 minutes a couple days back but will put it here just as an FYI. In the "Extra Minutes' section on 9now, they had an interview with Richard de Crespigny about the likelihood of finding it and the state of the black boxes, etc. It is also on YouTube here: (5 mins)

There was additionally another 6 minute extra minutes section about the search which can be found here:

I know a lot of ppl on this subreddit dislike de Crespigny but thought i would share anyways. Both of these extra segments are on YouTube and 9now but of course you may need a VPN.
Wow, what a crock of crap!! HF communications are the only that can have the distance to be in the path. An aircraft even the size of a 777 is incredibly small compared to the beam width of an HF signal over a path of several thousand miles let alone the fact that you need to have the aircraft in the path so the communications would have to be between India and Australia for example. Let's not forget the variations in signal strength due to variations in the ionosphere and cancellation of signals between ground and sky waves which are tens of orders of magnitude greater than any variations created by an aircraft.
Aircraft can more easily be detected once you get up to frequencies of say .5 GHZ and the aircraft is between two stations ideally located. Even then, the path is only open for a few seconds and the distance that can be achieved is limited by the altitude of the aircraft.
60 Minutes credibility dropped 1000 points in active trading with this article!
WSPR canβt be used to find MH370. I covered that in a video here last year - https://youtu.be/KefDzzDAeew
Itβs absurd how reporters/media/news outlets donβt even bother to find out the basics or ask independent views from those who actually understand WSPR and how it works.
Please note that this is the Australian 60 Minutes, which does not share the original American version's standards of investigative journalism:
