@Solvatdelectron@VictorVescovo I believe Victor sold DSV LF and DSSV Pressure Drop to Inkfish in 2022. So they are still being used to explore our oceans. https://t.co/RzCxvUaUJs
@Edward_767@LabratSR@rumrunnerthai On TOMNOD you could see the submerged debris fields, but the surface search had plenty of sightings down there, especially the 10 odd RAAF sightings of March 24th, if that area had an underwater search they would have found wreckage, Australia was not interested!
@Edward_767@LabratSR@rumrunnerthai I would command them to go back and finish the search they abandoned on March 27th 2014, the area where the sound event and all the debris sightings put them. And Australia to pay for it, since it was something they should have finished.
@Edward_767@LabratSR@rumrunnerthai Well I had no interest in that part of the search, but at least part of the Zenith area was extensively searched, they wasted well over a month searching it. https://t.co/csO64M2NOL
@Edward_767@LabratSR@rumrunnerthai Did they not already search at least part of the Zenith Plateau chasing false black box pings? I do not see OI having any interest in searching the area. MH370 is not any where near that supposed 7th arc, so searching it is not getting any closer to the wreckage site.
@marlinsmuller@LabratSR Well they need a chief engineer on board no matter what they are going to be doing, no point having a nice shiny new ship just sitting in port when it is ready to go, but for one of the crew needed. Wait and see where their first task will be.
@_sato113_@breakfastmeat1@dyork55@LabratSR@VesselFinder The map is in the surface search area of March 20th-27th 2014, it just shows the Tomnod maps (red) and the areas the USN P8 Poseidon did (yellow, the sat image is Tomnods 18h with my sightings as the green dots, pink area is the range of the sound event.
@Ventus_45@jaysguitars It would be pointless, if it was buoyant enough to get that far, a net and some fish would not keep it in place long. ATSB missed their chance to get a nice big piece of MH370, which was probably one of the horizontal stabilizers, or a large part of one.
@Ventus_45 There was a very good reason for Fugro to choose a towed rig over AUV's. No matter how big a ship OI come up with, they are not taking those AUV's down to the wreckage area. Maybe when the time comes who ever does the search will have something a lot smaller to do the scanning.
@Ventus_45 Well an Armada ship is all the search is likely to get, OI have plenty of them and they are cheap to run. But they can never go down the wreckage area with that lot, so they are not ever going to be getting their 70 million.
@Ventus_45 I do not see how the Armada ships failed to handle the weather, it is using AUV's that restricts the search time to calm weather. Next one will be yet another Armada ship, hopefully with better weather for the search.
@Ventus_45 I am sure they will continue the search at some point, they have not devoted 55 days to it yet, but it seems Armada 8605 is off the task now. I would have preferred just getting it over and done with, see if the 7th arc experts have learned anything from yet another failed search
@Ventus_45 I admit defeat, the search was doomed to fail anyway, it just fails earlier than expected. They have before had a different destination with ETA, and still gone back to the search. But the ship is not going where expected, they are definitely not going to my area, so Samoa it is.
@Ventus_45 Schedules can change and it would not be the first time they went somewhere other than their supposed immediate destination. We will have to wait and see first, if they stop at the calibration area.
