The author of the piece makes an impassioned arguement for his point of view, but it is all B.S. one only need to look at the Air France crash to refute this foolish argument. An Airbus 340 and the Boeing 777 are similar in size, the Air France accident did not leave a great deal of debris, almost all of the craft fell to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. The Airbus 340 was using the active reporting system which helped to quickly show where it went down, and it was traveling on a known air corridor. Malaysian flight 370 was off any normal flight path and was not using an active reporting system because Malaysian Air was too cheap to pay $10 per flight for that service. The hunt for debris in an area as large as Alaska is continuing, news indicates that something may have been found but not yet recovered. Without clues found by satellite this would have, and may still be an impossible task.
