@jeffwise : « By outfitting a 777 flaperon with the kind of sensors that Andy makes, we could determine whether the debris evidence is truly paradoxical, or there is a perfectly good reason for why it looks the way it does. »

It would be awesome to outfit a B777 flaperon with a GPS locator beacon and throw it into the water at the IG hotspot, and see what happens (what route, when does it beach, barnacles, etc.).

Hi Jeff, I really appreciate your open look into MH370. I’m just wondering if you would comment on how you decide what direction to follow. At each choice point you have probabilities and have to decide one way and leave the others behind. There are so many possibilities. At Igari there were 3 possibilities, either the plane went straight, the plane turned left or the plane went down. You devoted a whole segment to hacking. How do we really know what is real and what is a hack? For the big turn how do we know that all the flight data after that wasn’t hacked? If the hijackers were that sophisticated why not leave the satellite link down and dump false data into Inmarsat. That might explain the missing flight identifier. If that’s true the plane could literally be anywhere. You have a unique opportunity to look where no one else has looked, why continue looking in the same place. I think your Russian direction is such a compelling case. I’ll look forward to your continuing investigation. Trip
