Yes... they would
Initial reports indicated they were receiving signals from the black boxes. Is that no longer accurate?

Where did you see that? I've been following this story since it started and not once did they mention them getting any signals from the black boxes.

Well they haven't mentioned that in anything else so it was probably false.

The lack of wreckage found so far is most likely because they have not found the crash site yet because they've been looking in the wrong place. The delay due to the false lead on the oil slick means the chance of finding floating wreckage over the crash site is diminishing with every day that passes.
We're not going to know until we do. Once something of substance is found we'll hear about it soon enough. |

Crew meal service is the main weakness in cockpit security. There are protocols that cabin crew can use to pass a message if they are under duress to let the flight crew know of untoward events but if timed right an attacker near the cockpit could get close during crew getting their refreshments passed to them or when flight crew exit the cockpit for comfort stops.
The lack of demands by any terror group would indicate hijacking to be less likely though it can't be ruled out yet. |

Coincidence - or more? At the time of the event American authorities issued warnings that the 777's belly could rip open in midflight.

It definitely is coincidence- as the AD process was finalized just days ago and included public hearings and input from various operators - a process that takes months.

This Airworthiness Directive does not apply to MH370.
It applies to 777-200/200LR/300/300ER/777F models. MH370 was a 777-200ER.

Cracks do not necessarily render an aircraft unsafe.I know for a fact that a good number of C-5As have cracks (very very tiny ones) in areas towards the tail around the ramp doors.The ones that do have the cracks got closely inspected on a routine basis.
It all depends on the location of a crack even a very tiny one in the wrong place can be bad news in other cases it can only mean routine maintenance until the cracks reach a certain size. A buddy from the Air Force worked in NDI (non destructive inspection) they are the ones who inspect aircraft fuselages and components for fatigue and cracks.Pretty cool job though I do not much about the science of it all. I do know that flying a B-1B 20 feet of off the ground over a corn field is a very bad idea as corn cobs will get sucked up and destroy the engines causing the the Bone to crash in return causing the big wigs to pull the inspection records of the last person to have inspected the compressors(my friend) and have him sweat bullets until blame is laid on hot rod piloting and not a poor inspection job. |
