the angle between blue line (0degrees) and the red line is the orbital inclination. depending on that inclination you'll get more or less coverage of the world
assuming that these lines are more or less parallel (which they aren't), this would be one coverage of the planet
the reason they have to wait time before taking a picture is because they aren't in the right place yet

It's a nice effort, but this isn't actually right. When you hit the North Pole (or South Pole) you don't all of a sudden loop around to the other side of the Earth and find yourself at the opposite pole. Those red lines should be joined by a curved line at the bottom and top by some means that I can't quite visualise very well.

yes i know i've played enough kerbal space program (and i probably could have explained in post but whatever)
but i couldn't find a map of that, so i had to draw it, and it's basically correct in the sense that satellites aren't magic "go here" boxes, they have to wait for a specific window

Do you not know, how many fucking boats we have found with the satellite pictures?

Do they all get coordinated by one local search operation? Or do they all do their own independent searches? The former sounds like a massive headache and the latter sounds inefficient

There's plenty of software to assign areas for grid-searches like these, so it should be rather easy. They all get assigned special patterns that cover areas as detailed as possible without wasting time or overlapping too much.
Did anyone else not see how absolutely hammered Sindri was?
Oh yeah, Malaysia plans to arrest any shamans\bomo who do rituals at the airport

Even if he wasn't, he's been absolutely hammered, 3 day's worth, as a matter of fact, by Craptasket just now. Banhammered, that is.

[quote]KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - Malaysia, under fire over its fruitless search for missing Malaysia Airline flight MH370, denied on Friday that it had hired a prominent Muslim shaman to stage bizarre rituals seeking divine guidance in the hunt.
An official religious watchdog in the Muslim-majority country also said it was sending personnel to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to prevent further occurences.
The rituals, captured in photos and videos that went viral and sparked ridicule for adding a farcical element to the grave situation, were staged this week by self-described faith healer Ibrahim Mat Zin.
On Wednesday, the 80-year-old directed three assistants wearing business suits to sit on a tapestry as they lifted objects including large green coconuts over their heads.
"Regarding the presence of a 'bomoh' or shaman at KLIA, we would like to categorically state that neither the government, nor any of its agencies, had any role or involvement in the shaman's presence at the airport," a government statement said.
Occult activities are banned by religious authorities in Malaysia as "un-Islamic" but many people still consult "bomohs" or shamans to seek supernatural help in personal matters and health issues.
Malaysia Airlines flight 370 went missing early on Saturday with 239 people aboard. A huge international search has failed to turn up any concrete sign of the plane's fate.
In another incident on Monday, Ibrahim's assistants held a traditional wooden fish trap in the air while he looked at it through two bamboo poles in a rite intended to seek clues to the plane's whereabouts.
He initially claimed "high-ranking government officials" invited him to perform the rituals, media reports said. He later retracted that, saying he acted on his own.
A spokesman for an official watchdog in charge of policing Islamic practices confirmed that its personnel were now patrolling the airport to prevent more such rituals. She declined further comment.
National news agency Bernama quoted a religious department official Hardi Sadali as saying: "We have advised (Ibrahim) not to perform the rituals like the ones he performed. If he persists, we will take action."[/quote]

Now they are saying its possible that the plane was deliberately flown off course do to hijack or sabotage.

That's a really horrible thought. A 777 can do a lot of damage fully fuelled by itself, let alone if it's been turned into a weapon somehow.. It's not exactly a typical airliner. It's a widebody - one of the biggest Boeing aircraft in current service. It's an incredibly sophisticated aircraft as well and could, in theory, be programmed to fly an entire flight - from takeoff to landing - by itself.
An airplane such as a 777 if loaded with explosives, fully fuelled and programmed with a flightplan by someone who knows how to do so could be a very, [i]very[/i] powerful weapon.
I hope they send a few aircraft to quickly check the islands where they suspect it may have landed.

[QUOTE]A mum-of-two who spent hours poring over 870 satellite pictures hunting for missing flight MH370 was amazed when she found this startling image of a plane.
Natalie Eyre, 29, was so gripped by the mystery of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane that she started searching hundreds of images of the South China Sea on the internet at 9.30am yesterday.

thats not a 777
Looks like a C-130. No resemblance to a 777
that looks like a c130
fuck ninjad
maybe its a crashed ww2 bomber if the water is shallow?
b25 or 26 maybe?

where is the swept wing

I'm no plane engineer but I'd wager that there'd be at least a bit of a wing off[/QUOTE]
Not really. If the plane didn't land harshly, the plane could be somewhat intact image wise, but look submerged. That picture doesn't really show it being submerged, and seems to be smaller than a 777.
Satellite images. That's a plane that was flying in that area when the satellite snapped the image. How is that not obvious?
It's probably a C-130 searching for wreakage.
Looks submerged to me
Waters too deep to be visible.

im so on the fence if its been hijacked and diverted somewhere or blew up mid air or crashed in the ocean

Definitely not a 777 I'm afraid. The wings/body/elevator are all out of proportion.
The only terrorism theory I have read that makes sense is that the same people who did that train station knife attack that killed 30 people two weeks ago in china fucked with the plane.
[editline]14th March 2014[/editline]
I doubt the theories that claim it made it to pakistan. That would require it to have landed somewhere unnoticed and then take off again, flying in airspace of other countries most likely and then having to land somewhere secret in Pakistan.
Even if the plane gently landed in the water, it would be at the bottom of the ocean by now. US Airways Flight 1549 - the one that landed in the Hudson River in 2009 - touched down at 150 MPH (240 KPH) in shallow, calm waters, and the impact was still forceful enough to rip holes in the fuselage and pop open the cargo bay doors. The only thing that kept the A320 from breaking into pieces was the computer pitching the nose up, which kept the engines out of the water until the plane had nearly stopped. If the plane was flying level, the engines would've caught the water and torn the plane apart.
Now, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was a Boeing 777, so it didn't have the neat computer systems that an Airbus would have. Additionally, the ocean is a lot more violent and turbulent than a river. Put it all together, and I think that the plane would've hit the ocean and broken into pieces before sinking.
