Second the motion.
Good to see Mike on site and to read his summary. Folk like Brock and Mike and several others who try to make logical sense through analysis of the MH 370 puzzle always cheer me up. It is also pleasing to see ‘debate’ and discussion rather than the tub thumping approach which tries to force feed an opinion. It has been stated, many times, no one, except a very few know what happened and where the aircraft is. I have always used ‘ET got it’ as a hedge against answering questions to which there is no answer, it’s as good a theory as any and a damn site more realistic than some I have read……
One of those questions which we should be able to answer, but cannot is why the ‘search’ was taken away from AMSA? Take a look at the AMSA web page – HERE – it screams Search and Rescue, particularly in the maritime environment. AMSA may not have located the wreck; but, they would have tried, logically, professionally, honestly and diligently.
Had AMSA found the aircraft, then, furry muff, the ‘investigator’ i.e. ATSB could take over and do their thing. This makes sense to me, but what happened never did and still does not make neither rhyme nor reason. To put Dolan in charge was risible, operationally and politically. Dolan, Sangston and Walsh stunk to the high heavens after Pel-Air. Dolan (IMO) should have been fired out of hand, the others with him. Resignation unacceptable after the damage ‘they’ collectively did to Australia’s once fine record as an investigator of accident and provider of ‘safety’ resolutions. Enough.
You could get into a seriously heated discussion about what happened to MH 370, you can even find combat in the area of what actually occurred during the flight – hell you can even become embroiled over the power settings used. But you can’t find anyone, anywhere, who will defend or can understand why taking AMSA off the job and placing Dolan in control was a sound idea.
None of this helps us find MH 370, but it may point us in the direction of why we did not.
Welcome to Aunty Pru Mike; remember ‘ET rules’ – Ok…

Toot toot.
