Next time a crazy pilot/terrorist wants to fly into the ocean or a mountain range the passengers can vote on their keypads if they want to eject.

I like how they designed it so the luggage would be ejected from the crashing plane as well, so the passengers wouldn't lose their precious belongings.

also what's the over/under on the passengers being dead by now

i figure after a week or so of being gone, they'd have gone through all food on the plane, but maybe cannibalism has kept a few of them going?

MH370 search setback as equipment lost after hitting Indian Ocean mud volcano

Updated 55 minutes ago

A key piece of equipment involved in the search for missing Malaysian Airlines jet MH370 has been lost after it crashed into an underwater mud volcano in the Indian Ocean.

The Fugro Discovery's sonar vehicle towfish hit the ocean formation while searching the ocean floor yesterday, forcing its tow cable to break.

"The towfish collided with a mud volcano, which rises 2,200 metres from the seafloor, resulting in the vehicle's tow cable breaking," the Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC) said in a statement.

"The towfish and 4,500 metres of cable became separated from the vessel and are now resting on the sea floor."

Crews are hoping to recover the vehicle at a later date.

The ship is heading back to Fremantle and its spare towfish vehicle will be prepared for future search activities.

The Australian-led underwater search, the most expensive ever conducted, has so far found no trace of the plane, which went missing with 239 passengers and crew during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014.

For now I think their sonar vehicle is gone. The official search ends in a few days too doesn't it?

A gazillion dollars dumped into a snipe hunt instead of malaria research or whatev just so we can say, "Ohhhhh, wow -- we thought it crashed there, but it really crashed over here. Our bad, LMAO!"

Will putting a big red X somewhere on a map of the Indian Ocean somehow make things any better for anyone? You're still gonna wake up in this hellscape of a world the next day and life will go on.

If they find the black box they can find out what happened and make sure other planes don't become gone too.

Malaysia is running out of planes, so they could do with getting one back.
