It amazes me that Hollywood would have us believe military satellites can read your morning newspaper from ten miles away. Obviously untrue. But I don't understand how they can't get ANYthing? Just on the simplest most basic level, there were 250 people with cell phones, and I'm sure they had onboard wifi, they can't use the telcom satellites to triangulate the last ping...? Or is there some reason that would not be feasible...?

The search area is enormous. It is extremely ridiculous, which is why they haven't really found anything. The plane could also simply not have been there.

Yeah, they're not really sure where it went after they lost contact so it seems they're looking in the wrong places. Needle in a haystack scenario.

It's much worse than that because they don't even know where the haystack is.

Indeed, and when they think they do they're still looking in the wrong place. I'm also getting a little bit tired of BREAKING NEWS: THE DEBRIS THAT WE SPOTTED ISN'T FROM THE PLANE etc. How is that breaking news?
