It is so sad that there is still no closure for the families of those on the missing plane.

The cost of 3 years search amounted to USD200 millions
This probably is the most mysterious missing object in human history especially it happened in this era where even layman can find something using Goggle map !! Not to mention the plane is equipped with modern communication gadgets...

The Australian Government has provided around $90 million as part of Australia's contribution to the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, including $60 million towards the cost of the underwater search effort.
The total cost of the search is around $200 million.
The People's Republic of China contributed around $20 million in the form of funding and equipment.
Malaysia agreed to fund the balance of the costs, of around $120 million, associated with searching the 120,000 square kilometre search area.

I seriously don't know how it is possible to search a plane which presumably lying underneath the Indian Ocean. The average depth of this ocean is more than 13,000 feet and the deepest can be 25,000 feet.... and so what if they managed to find the location of the wreckage, how the heck they gonna retrieve it from this kind of water depth.. !!
The search should end after 1 year, it is interesting they continued for another 2 years..
Budiman
If you searched for it for 1 year only, how do you expect the affected families feel and generally speaking, even the Search Team is not satisfied.
3 years is a long time. At least, they had tried their very best in the last 3 years.
They only said 'suspended' for the time being.
Who know they may find something down the track when they least expected

I run logging tools in open sea before to collect geological data for hydrocarbon exploration. The borehole is always less than 5000 feet. [5000 feet is the water depth plus the subsurface depth of seabed]
Sonic equipment at that time couldn't work with reasonable accuracy beyond this depth. I'm not sure about now but I think even with so much advancement in technology, it is unlikely to run a logging tool up to 13,000 feet of water depth and expect to obtain a reasonable accuracy from the water surrounding the tool.
Please take note that ALL the subsurface tools used in hydrocarbon exploration is detecting the properties of SOLID, i.e the earth foundation undernecth the seabed, not the sea water. The data can only provide one side of the possiblity depending on the type of equipmet used. For example, sonic logs have to be crosschecked with resistivity logs or radioactive logs before a reasonable conclusion can be made about the subsurface properties. These properties can be obtained as whatever depth as long as the wireline can reach that depth but I really don’t understand how images can be captured at that depth... and this is what puzzle me. Without images, I just don’t know how they can pinpoint and confirm what they see is the “wreckage".. !!
My comment is purely on the possibility of a successful underwater search in this kind of water depth, I do not take into consideration of the victims’ next-of-kin expectation. It is a very sad tragedy and most of them still think the missing passengers are alive, I guess it is not easy to manage their expectation !!

According to UNESCO, there are thousands of shipwrecks, which are found either beached on land or sunken to the bottom of a body of water.
UNESCO estimates that worldwide there are over 3 million shipwrecks, some of them, thousands of years old, still lie on seabeds.
Now, we are talking of a single plane that is missing for 3 years
I wonder when this plane will ever see the sky

The Titanic sunk on 15 April 1912 and the wreakage was found on 1 September 1985, 73 years later.....
But then again, the location where Titianic hit an iceberg was clealy known and documented. The challenge is to run equipment down the seabed at that spot to find the wreak, no need to search the entire ocean (maybe oceans) to find where the f the MH370 fell into the sea... !!

I think they followed some advices from some egg-perts who printed out charts showing the areas of the vast Ocean.
Anywhere they had gone there & found nothing.
There are other unknown areas maybe nearer to land.

Crystal balling:
its bulk is on the yanky island (with chunky bits thrown to indian Ocean for a good Search & Retrieve mission), all spy equipment retrieved, pax murdered, mangosteens eaten.

p/s my buddy 'lost' a young and committed staff. He was only 24yrs old with 3 yrs of good work record. it took his parents nearly 2 yrs to finally & physically accepted the 'highly unusual early release' of insurance death benefits... sedih tapi benar.

By that, did it mean you were suspecting something fishy's going on?

Any rejection or accettance to the script below is purely dreamy at best, speculative at worst.
Donno. Tats most likely to be a rm2.6billion question. Anyhow, ye have to ask the paying out insurance companies about that pelik tapi benar scenario where they were ordered, (arahan dari atas in local parlance) by your1gomen to process payout:
1. Without insured party pre submitting any claims for the MIF insured party/parties
2. Without death cert being issued, rendering a pay out to the company for a 'deceased without a body' insured sum. All rather jiffy too, not 60days upon MIF.

I never liked stories with open ending. Looks like we'll never know what happened that day when the plane flew over the horizon. Made me think about The Langolier.
