rampstriker - That's an interesting opinion piece regarding the pings. In line with that opinion, I would consider by far the most concerning angle, would have to be the inability of the TPL-25 to pick up consistent, repeated pings, once the pings had been recorded over a 2 hr period.
If the emailed opinion of the Woods Hole senior scientist, Dr David Gallo is reportedly correct, in that he says, “I don't know any underwater acoustic people that think the pings have anything to do with the plane.” - then in line with the other concern, in that not a single scrap of wreckage has been found - it does give serious concern as to the final position of MH370 being where the JACC is convinced it is.
One has to consider the fact that after 8 weeks, if the aircraft did ditch in the Indian Ocean, then at least even one small piece of wreckage would have washed up on some Indian Ocean shore.
The longer times goes on without a shred of wreckage being found on some shore, seriously increases the doubt level.
Add in the vast Ocean area combed for over 6 weeks by some pretty hi-tech aircraft, and thousands of SAR eyes, both on the water and above it, and one is left with a distinctly uncomfortable feeling that the aircraft is not where the JACC thinks it is.
