WHAT PINGS, ... ...On Thursday, April 24, it actually appeared as though there might be a breakthrough consensus by several of CNN's more omnipresent experts. That hope was short lived however. While Les Abend, an airline pilot and even the seemingly intractable David Soucie, author and former air crash investigator admitted doubt about the “pings” being from the aircraft's black boxes for the first time, that consensus would quickly evaporate like so much morning dew.
Abend, for his part stated that after “speaking to some analysts” he concluded that the “pings” detected “may not be the right frequency.” Soucie indicated he was formerly convinced the “pings” were from the airplane, but was now “not so sure.”
Despite these apparent Kumbaya-isms, David Soucie, who has gone from believing that the “pings” were “absolutely without a question” from missing Malaysia airlines Flight 370 black boxes to being “not so sure” did yet another flip-flop this morning.
Today, Soucie said, “the confidence I have in these pings is extremely high.” “I've ruled out any other possibility.” Soucie said that he also had spoken with analysts from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution who informed him that while some pingers are used for fish-tracking, ones operating at the proper frequencies “haven't been manufactured for decades.” He then mumbled the idea that batteries could last that long didn't make any sense.
In fact, it's what Soucie says that doesn't make any sense. First off, as we have previously reported on several occasions, information that we provided to CNN about the pingers has been consistently ignored. That information demonstrated beyond any doubt that these devices operate in the correct frequency areas, have variable, programmable ping-rates, can be equipped with batteries that last even longer than those used in the airline industry's antiquated black boxes and are currently manufactured. No one at CNN even raises a question as Soucie spouts his inconsistencies. Is it perhaps because their memories are that feeble? .... /-
