A question about that missing airliner -

[hedgehog]

would the "ping" from the black box be detectable with sonar?

If so, why haven't we had Navy ships and submarines in the area listening?

Talk about missing a chance to make friends!

1. Standard sonar, no

That will listen on the frequency that it sends out - which won't be the frequency the boxes use, because there would be too much confusion.

4. You must not have CNN

They have become "Where's the Malaysian Airliner Channel". It is reminiscent of when Nancy Grace spent more than a year devoting her HLN show to "The Where's Kaylee Show" except their coverage is 24/7.

3. What area?

That's the problem!
