For me strangest thing is that no debris has been found. If they are so sure where abouts it crashed, how come not a piece has bee found? There are so many ships and aircraft around that soumethung ahould have been found IMHO

Not that strange Imo, it's is a large search area and possible debris would have sunk several weeks ago (a couple of days after the crash).
Possible luggage and cushions could still be afloat but then it depends on winds, waves and ocean currents where
they are now in the case that it would still be afloat....Funny how ev'rything was roses when we held on to the guns...

I am not convinced it is in the sea .I will take some convincing that it has not landed somewhere ,and the passengers have been starved of oxygen to keep them quiet,and it's somewhere in the Taliban part of Pakistan .There has been NO oilslicks and not one scrap of flotsam .How could the pilots have dropped that plane onto the ocean floor with no debris ?

The question I have is: Why would the pilots have gone in that direction? If suicide or terrorism were the treason, why not just straight down or into some significant object? If something incapacitated the pilots, why the change/s of direction? Too many unanswered questions. Too much garbage fed to the media.

There has been so many ships and airplanes on search that some floating debris should have been seen somewhere. Larger bits have probably sunk, but not everything sinks. There is so much garbage floating in all seas, that some from the plane should have been found if it is where they say it went down.
I don't have any theories on where it might be, but something very strange happened, that is for sure

They should have found something by now .
I'm a little surprised that whomever has the plane , buried in the sand , hasn't tossed a few floatation cushions out there to be found .
Although , the mystery of it all does put pressure on the world's governments to share information , and it's seeming more likely , in my opinion , that that is perhaps what this is all about .

It has not landed anywhere. A large plane like the Boeing 777 requires a long paved runway and I’m sure satellite images of potential landing spots have already been reviewed. A large plane like that is very difficult to conceal.
The plane crashed into the sea. It broke apart on impact with most of it, especially the heavy parts, sinking in pieces and scattering all over the sea floor.
What little that hasn’t sunk has stayed afloat, again in pieces, and with wind and current scattered over thousands of square miles of ocean. In a few weeks time we’ll start to find bits and pieces (potentially even decomposed bodies, at least those that haven’t been devoured by sharks) washing upon shores all over the Indian Ocean.“If everything's under control, you're going too slow.” Mario Andretti

I agree with your post in general although the bolded part depends on winds and currents (image taken from here).
In a worst case scenario any possible floating debris will be stuck in an endless loop of currents.
As for the bodies, if they do re-surface after some time, they will eventually re-sink when the gases inside have been released.
Also at the depths we're talking about here (several thousand meters), the water pressure is enormous.
At 4000m the pressure force is about 411.033 kg per square centimetres, which is about 5845Psi.
Then consider that the human body surface (of a 175cm long and 70kg heavy person) is around 1.85m2 and one m2 is 10000cm2.
This you can get a grasp of the enormous pressure that a human body is exposed to at 4000m depth.
This means that bodies will implode at such depths and I think it is unlikely that they will re-surface from such depths.Last edited by BleAivano; 24th April 2014 at 16:15.

Yesterday Chris Ingram posted he was doing a shakedown of the Polo R5 so it seems he's continuing in that car for the Jim Clark. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7OEfYKoYV1/?igsh=czZzYzB1dm9zeHd4 ...
