Hello Ward,

He has a point though. Twenty days have passed. One may ask why it has not been
claimed yet.

Indeed.

My theory is that the aim of whoever did this was that we would never know what
happened. The place of ditching is one on of the remotest places on earth, the
water is deep and apparently there is lots of bad wether there. The chance that
it would be accidentally found by someone not looking for it, is practically
nill. The fact that we ARE looking there now was problably unforseen by the
purpetrators. We would not be looking there if some clever nerd hadn't figured
out that the Doppler shift of the pings of the engines could be used for
something that they were never designed for: rough gelocation.

Still there is lot of ocean to search and the purpetators may still succeed in
their goal that we will never know what happened. What is more terrifying than
to not know what happened and so not be able to take mmeasures to prevent it
from happeneing again...

 WD> I hope they'll go through the same effort in this particular case.

In the Air France case there was no deliberate hiding of the tracks.

In ten days the batteries of the flight data recorder will be dead. If the
thing has not stopped already because of sabotage. I fear it may never be
found.

Some day though someone may claim the deed. Something like: yes we did it and
we will not tell you how we did it. But we will do it again unless...


Cheers, Michiel
