"Specific electronic equipment" is pretty vague.
Will there be any other electronic equipment in the deep sea at 5,000m depth?
I thought it was 1000m.

Was it even guaranteed that it was the box sending out signals? Are they even sure they were searching in the right area?
Yes. Check this:

Signals heard earlier had also been further analysed by experts who concluded they were from "specific electronic equipment", he said.

BTW, remember my pilot suicide hypothesis? I hadnt even read this yet:

Except it's from an unnamed source ie probable BS.

Also, no one can tell for sure that the pings came from the black box - when asked, even the manufacturer was doubtful.
Investigators are reluctant to say anything with certainty, as they should be, but there is nothing else anyone has come up with that makes those kinds of pings, at that frequency at that interval. There is a reason that frequency was chosen for black box pingers: nothing in nature creates anything similar.

There's a pretty big chance that the 'southern arc' hypothesis is vastly inaccurate or completely wrong. Also, no one can tell for sure that the pings came from the black box - when asked, even the manufacturer was doubtful.
Ships with better detection capabilities are heading towards the are we will know soon enough which location is the correct one
And the blackbox has stooped sending signals. Probably the battery either ran out of power or it is too weak. Now it will be extremely difficult to find it, at 5,000m depth.

Nope to both of those, it was just a possibility.

So, there is 600 km between the two locations where Chinese and Australians heard pings. How is that possible? Max detection range of a submerged transmitter installed on the black box doesn't even come close to that - it can barely reach 5, maybe 10 km at best.
Underwater acoustics is weird and complicated. The very same signal may only be detectable for a few km under some circumstances or many thousands of km in others (google for Deep Sound Channel).
Did they find the black box? I Think they said it would be out of energy by today or yesterday and if it's isn't found it wouldn't send any more signals and possibly never be found.
looks like the theory that was discussed here were the pilot smooth landed the 777 into the ocean (minimal debris) and sank the plane into the bottom of the ocean is becoming more in line with the findings.
Hmm.. right now that theory seems to be the most reliable one.
Except it does not factor in one important thing what the heck happened to the people
Unless they went down with the
Then again if the plane landed relatively intact in the water, it would immediately start to sink, giving those on board little time to escape - into waters of around 8 degrees in a remote region with no immediate hope of rescue. That would be awful.

So the black boxes stop pinging after 30 days and we only start looking for them ~25 days into the search? Doesn't sound like a very smart thing to do IMO.
They were looking for them but the location they were looking at was wrong due to to multiple factors, after corrections they are manging to find the ping, it will take months if not years to get them back from to the surface if it is a 4-8 Kms water deap area

Earlier it wasn't known that the MH370 has strayed in to that part of the Indian Ocean. That information came later, and the search was organized as quickly as possible. Now with the black-box pings, the search area has been reduced drastically, and hopefully we'll be able to recover the flight data recorder soon enough.

Good news indeed!
May be it is possible to triangulate the signal like we do on land with cell signal towers, and find the plane in a few days. Recovery will take years, but we really need to pinpoint the plane before it is too late.

Exactly what makes you say that ? Whether the plane exploded midair, crashed vertically or ditched, the black boxes and 99% of the plane would still end up at the bottom of the ocean. There isnt much in a plane that floats and remains floating for a month, and those parts that do are microscopic compared to the vastness of the ocean and could have drifted hundreds of Km further by now. That we havent found debris by no means proves the plane is mostly intact.
Ditching isnt much of a theory anyway, since it explains nothing. If the plane was still under control by the crew, why would the pilots fly it completely off course to the middle of nowhere for 7 or whatever hours?
