Hope they've contacted Baza for advice first. Either that or he's got Daimo to knock up a sketch and e-mailed it to them.

Maybe they should search between the old and new points, not just 600 miles away

Definitely needs a Daimo scribble

Seems that planes have actually spoted the debris now, so probably have some half decent photos and not rely on images taken with a potato.

Everybody seems to be spotting debris. Im pretty sure i saw some in the forth when crossing the forth road bridge earlier.

Some photos on the BBC news app, so assuming the site that look fairly conclusive.
Why aren't they using planes the can lands on the water, range, stormy seas? Surely if they could fly over and land straight away instead of fucking around for another 3 weeks it'd be pretty advantageous

I guess the planes are directing the ships. No point landing in the middle of nowhere and potentially being killed by a rogue wave.
The ships do seem to be taking an age to get there though.

Saw a video of one of the boats that are out there, the waves are pretty fucking big to be fair. I'm sure the logistics are entirely different, but I'm wondering why they haven't sent an aircraft carrier out there

A sea plane that flys 2000 minimum is a bit optimistic.

Most planes that land on the sea would runout of fuel getting there it's a good 2-3 hour flight to get to the area
Considering it's now almost a week since the search were informed of the 120 items yet not a single piece has been touched. Seen one pick on the BBC site but many have commented that nothing about it says it's from a plane so until someone picks them up who knows

That's why I was asking, I assumed they would have a fairly short range, and that given the 3,600 mile round trip it probably wasn't feasible. I also assume there's no aircraft carriers in the area then as surely that'd make sense?
All getting a bit tedious now tbh, oh look debris. OK we'll be there in 2 weeks, OK we're here... Oh no, the debris is actually a few hundred miles this way...

Finally. 
I did think the conspiracy theories so far had been quite weak. Glad to see somebody put in some effort.

I don't straight up believe it but it's possible - who can forget the vid with the guy where the jar breaks in his arse? It's not impossible to think that there could be someone on the flight with that 'talent'. The date today kind of fucks it up as well but apparently this story's been kicking about for a few days now so it's definitely not purposely an April's fools joke.
Read the full article before declaring it hokum by the way - I don't know a lot about the technical details of phones or pictures but the guy on there claims that the image basically had to have been sent from the place their claims relate to. People on islands near to this base claim to have seen 'a jumbo jet' (read: large commercial jet) flying low when all they've ever been used to seeing is sea planes.

Not even sure if you're being serious, but no, nothing in that article is true/realistic.
It don't know that website, but the whole thing reeks of Onion News.

Picture file name seems strange, unless he has taken a shit load of pictures.

In what way is it unrealistic? Genuinely curious, as I said I know fuck all technology wise so without swallowing it completely it looks plausible enough. To not at least look at it objectively then sneer and giggle's just a wee bit ignorant

- You can quite easily edit/add EXIF GPS data
- There's no way that image format would come off an iPhone
- File name doesn't conform with how iPhone names files
- Removing a phone from your ass would probably require surgery
- The article speculates WAY too much to be trustworthy. Basically any detail besides "we were sent this photo and text" is guess work. Even the speculation doesn't make sense. Voice recognition misspelled a word, but was able to add parenthesis? Sure...
- The GPS coordinates being inaccurate is listed as proof. Typical conspiracy nonsense. First rule of faking something is ensuring it's not too perfect.
I honestly think it's meant as a spoof.
