    It’s been a frustrated and incredibly difficult search almost three weeks after a Malaysia airlines passengersvanished with 239 people aboard. Nothing has been recovered. Satellitesand     are been reported daily now. Focusedon the Southern India Ocean, but search planes had spin point anything so thatships can recover it.
    The flea searching the Southern sector tofind this missing airplane is really quite impressive. There are 11 aircraftsand 5 ships from the nearest countries out here. They are scouring in the waterbut all you have to do is look at the map and realize why this remains adifficult job. The distance form Perthwhere the flying out the planes and where these objects spotted by thesatellites radars. That’s 1600 miles. That means a tremendous amount of energyand times affected just getting back and forth every single day. Here’s anotherway to look at it. If you consider the overall southern search area, seems621000 square miles, by the time they handle all this travel and get intopossession, and the look around for a while. Basically what they can search isabout 5% of the zone everyday. That means in perfect weather with perfectequipment everything’s going right, it will take them 20 days to get throughthis sector.
    Even if you narrow that down, if you say weare not doing the large sector, we just dong the small area of period whichjust describing the size of Denver, so 12.5 miles by 12.5 miles, that was thework sound here. Imagine taking off Washington DC in the morning of the searchgroup and you have to fly all the way across the country, out here cross thegreat planes to Colorado and when you land in Colorado, you have to move all upto Denver and then in Denver, you have to fly over the city, and you have twoor three hours to try to spot a particular mail box or a trash can, or car. Andif you do no spot it, you have to turn around and fly all the way back to Washington DC,to get more fuel and a little sleep and come back and do it again the next day.That’s why this remains such a daunting task.
