Hang on ... started as a Trainee Solicitor with Southampton City Council in 1973 .... retired from my own practice in 2010. Yep, you're right - 37 years. Damn, I wish someone had told me.

Yep - thought they were tracking down the stuff the satellites photo-ed.
Now, however, the airmen are seeing stuff in the new place. Were the satellite co-ordinates wrong? Another mystery

Disgusting behaviour...I am sure there are laws governing permissions etc but I appreciate that your mind would not have been on that!
As for the reporting - I had read that the relatives wanted the press to see their grief and report it. Whether this was just made up, who knows. Whatever, these people have lost loved ones and let's not forget the crew and their colleagues too.

I gather from an interview I read with a former CIA satellite imagery expert that much of the 'debris' they noted by satellite was actually wave action and whitecaps.

Ships are in the area but haven't found anything yet.

It's very hard to spot stuff from a ship. We used to do man overboard drill. Once the volunteer was in the water one crew member had to be assigned to do nothing except watch the man in the water otherwise whilst the boat manoeuvring back to them their position would be lost. It would take a lot of time to find them again even knowing where to look. In real man overboard there would be a good chance they'd be lost.

I see the conspiracy theorists on CC have dried up in the past week, which I find strange given that nothing has yet been found; maybe this story will stir some attention:

Totally OT, but apparently switching it to vibrate and then having people phone you at random intervals is a way of getting your rocks off. There are even apps for this purpose!
Trouble is, "the area" is the size of France, an intact Boeing 777 is much smaller than a ship and from the surface you can't see more than a mile or so in any direction. It's not a mystery that no physical objects have been found, because the chances are so tiny.

Yet as some experts have stated on channels that know far more than we could even dream up..........the signals are probably their own signals bouncing back up, also the Russians say it landed in Afghanistan.................all this week and in the news, I am not optimistic but as I said in earlier posts it may have been hijacked............where it went from there I have about as much idea as everyone, it probably crashed, it may have landed, the Malaysian government said and I quote "Miracles do happen so don't give up on seeing your loved ones".............just why would they say that in a news broadcast????? anyway, a photo,even though its blank with a message arrived at another phone..............from a passenger last week, all exif data states it was taken last week...................is it crashed or isn't it...............I am now not saying its landed or crashed, I am just saying what was in last weeks news, if it had crashed and the people with diplomas bigger than their egos did have a clue.............why haven't they found any debris, surely in that vast ocean they would have found a passport or something bobbing about.
Why are the Malayasian government reluctant to say much, do they know something we don't, now If an aircraft the size of a 777 crashes into the sea or breaks up mid flight, there will be debris all over a massive area, which would have been found as things do float and by Christ they have been on a massive search and still nothing, if it did make a perfect crash landing, the engines are designed to detach from the fuselage (wings area) and disperse, which means sink I think, but that would mean the aircraft stays afloat and the passengers can exit before the aircraft sinks, or the aircraft is broken and sinks before people can escape.............either way there would be something floating that could be identified..............MH370 a mystery to us, but someone knows exactly what has happened.
