Missing Malaysia Airlines Plane


Recommended Posts



The Associated Press@AP 3h

BREAKING: Malaysia prime minister says new data show missing plane plunged into southern Indian Ocean.

But no confirmed wreckage. In other words, no BREAKING news at all. "New data"?....... I don't get it. Aussie's prime minister already reports 2 or 3 days ago.

 

 

On Saturday, searchers found a wooden pallet as well as strapping belts, Australian authorities said. The use of wooden pallets is common in the airline industry

Huh?? Probably wrong but I thought all aluminum pallets with mini-rollers instead of old-fashioned fork lift wooden pallets in cargo sections. Saved weight and durable.

 

ADDEM: The same as CNN article but different paragraph (rewrite)...............

The only thing, where's the emergency beacon and black box pingers? :dunno. CVR/FDR/ELT equipped with radio emergency locator transmitters and sonar underwater locator beacons to aid in their location.

They are sending ships with the detection equipment for the pingers to the area now.

It actually is very rare that anything shipped international to have wooden pallets due to the ability of wooden packaging transmitting various insects. The strange thing is, either these wooden pallets came from the plane or from a ship going international. So....who knows????

 

Not true. That's why they're heat treated. It's actually a very common thing.

Interesting. We aren't allowed to use any wood in our packaging for export for this reason.

We ship drug patch backings, window films, respirator cartridges, etc. etc. on heat treated pallets to Europe, Asia and South America all the time. Nearly every pallet we stock is heat treated. What business are you in? Maybe there's something different for what you're exporting??
