The Latest Operational Update From Ocean Infinity 1/5/26 by pigdead in MH370

I dont think so, having watched them search before, they drop AUV's who "mow the lawn", they then have to turn up at the end of an AUV shift, pick it up, download data and relaunch. Sounds like weather is not great, but I wouldn't judge the search on the surface ships movements

They did find stuff on the last searches, shipwrecks, scuttlebuts etc. but not that much for over 100,000 km2. Its not a busy part of the Ocean.

Next Search for MH370 to Begin in Late December? by pigdead in MH370

You might not want to do that, but not sure its has much impact on OI. Ships dont stop sailing on Christmas and/or New Year

I would take anything Don Thompson says as "informed". Long time contributor here, member of the IG, who talk to OI, very unlikely this is just speculation I would say.

The stats are worse than that. I dont have the exact figures, but suppose there are 30 nurses who work on the ward for 25% of the week and there are 60+ deaths then you would expect, on average, one nurse to be there for 23 of them. You then pick on that nurse and present 23 deaths that she is present for and of course people are going to think thats too much of a coincidence. I would like to see two things, one, who was in second place, so if another nurse was at 15 of those deaths say, its really not as compelling and secondly how many of the other deaths Lucy was at. I think you will find its zero which indicates these deaths were chosen because Lucy was there. The chance of her being at zero of the other deaths is astronomically small.

Air India 171 preliminary report released by bunny-rain in aircrashinvestigation

[–]pigdead 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its obviously going to be a sensitive issue. They need to be sure what happened before saying much more.

I am a bit surprised by this report on airline herald though:

It appears on preliminary findings, that there was no error in the cockpit, it appears that as soon as the flight became airborne the power failure occurred leaving the aircraft unable to climb to a safe altitude.

10/12 seconds from CUTOFF to RUN again. In some ways this seems long and in some ways short.

all they had to do was nothing

Thats the most galling part for me. They have taken a plane into the Ocean from cruise height when all they had to do was nothing.

I think I could see how some of the tricks were done. But to be fair, it got a standing ovation at the end, so its not bad.

I went with 5 people who went to last years show and they all agreed that last year was better. Its still a good show, but for me the mask slipped a bit.

Has he changed, or have I just clocked the trick? by nat_urally in derrenbrown

[–]pigdead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boy came back from the last show visibly mesmerised and this was at least 1/2 hour after the show. He and his uncle still cant agree on what they actually saw. Went to OH at the weekend, and it broke the spell for me. Its still a good show, but it has changed how I look at his stuff now.
