The depth of the problem facing the searchers is beyond our imagination. So the Washington Post put together a graphic to help us get our arms around the problem. You can see it at: http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/page/world/the-depth-of-the-problem/931/
Check it out. It is a sizeable problem should they find the airplane at these depths. However, we are still not convinced the plane is really a the bottom of the sea. Our reasons are:
--No debris has been found
--No suicide notes from the pilot or co-pilot
--No demands for money, release of prisoners or claim of responsibility
--Cargo content reports have been sealed
--Lack of cooperation from Malaysian government
--Two stolen passports used by two passengers--coincidence or something else?
--The flight path taken after "signing off" with controllers is 180 degrees from the planned one.
There are too many issues that make no sense to us so until we see the actual plane being lifted onto a ship, we will continue to believe that it is somewhere else and potentially to be used for a nefarious mission.
