Didn't it take 3 years or something to find that Air France flight? -- nm - decline Mar 21, 08:51 2
- I looked it up - it went down May 31, wreckage was spotted June 1. They knew where it was the next day. -- (link) - Andie Mar 21, 08:54 1
  - sorry - June 2. two days. -- nm - Andie Mar 21, 08:55
Assuming they're never able to pinpoint where it went down, I think they'll exhast all their reasonable avenues within a couple of months. - mara Mar 21, 08:41 4
- but didn't they spot wreckage from the Air France plane right away? it took two years to find the black box - but they knew where to look. -- nm - Andie Mar 21, 08:48 3
  - It was several days before they found the first pieces of wreckage. - ty97 Mar 21, 08:55 1
    - it seems like it was spotted on day 2 and floating debris recovered on day 5. but they knew where to look.. -- nm - Andie Mar 21, 09:04
  - Yeah, that's what I meant. -- nm - mara Mar 21, 08:52
Honestly, I don't think they give up. Maybe the amount of people working on it dwindles, but you don't lose a 777. - ty97 Mar 21, 08:38
NEVER!!! - CNN Mar 21, 08:31 2
