I don't see how this will help, but undoubtedly some people in Malaysia believe in witchcraft and this gives them hope.

Meanwhile in the USA our NSA is monitoring your Internet porn searches, so between the NSA or the guys with the coconuts, I'd bet the coconuts have a better shot at finding the airplane

Hey, nobody is stopping you from going over there and shaking a few coconuts with them if you think it will help.

Let me join you. If we shake really virgorously, it will be good exercise for our arms.

Only if we're using Malaysian coconuts. otherwise we just look like were playing with coconuts

Frank and I will have to learn that song and sing it when we shake our coconuts. Want to join us, and we can have a trio? Do you happen to know where we can get Malaysian coconuts? Maybe an Asian market??

Malaysian government recruits witch doctors with ‘magic coconuts’ to help find missin

The witch-doctor, or bomoh, who even claimed he was invited by Malaysia's top leaders,

The OP is a lie - this dude CLAIMS support but there is absolutely nothing to say that's true.
I suspect the government let him do it on the grounds it can't hurt but didn't exactly support him

Why bother telling a lie that's so easily found out, making you look like a silly sod?

Poor Fred, he can't stand lots of things posted unless it is telling wonderful things about his fellow Muslims, even though he himself posts a lot of nonsense. How about joining us and making it a quartet, Fred, singing about coconuts while we shake them? Say, Fred, since we are on the Asia board, you want to tell us about the Muslims burning down a building which belonged to the Hindus in Pakistan the other day, or will you tell us that is a lie?

In the bottom of the deep blue sea...

Malaysia jet search area too deep for submarine
15 Apr.`14 — A robotic submarine hunting for the missing Malaysian jet aborted its first mission after only six hours, surfacing with no new clues when it exceeded its maximum depth along the floor of the Indian Ocean, officials said Tuesday.

Search crews sent the U.S. Navy's Bluefin 21 into the depths Monday to begin scouring the seabed for the missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 after failing for six days to detect any new signals believed to be coming from its black boxes. But the 16-hour mission was cut short when the unmanned sub, which is programmed to hover 30 meters (100 feet) above the seabed, entered a patch that was deeper than its maximum depth of 4,500 meters (15,000 feet), the search coordination center and the U.S. Navy said. A built-in safety feature returned the Bluefin to the surface and it was not damaged, they said.

The data collected by the sub was later analyzed and no sign of the missing plane was found, the U.S. Navy said. Crews were shifting the Bluefin's search area away from the deepest water and were hoping to send it back on another mission later Tuesday. Search authorities had known the primary search area for Flight 370 was near the limit of the Bluefin's dive capabilities. Deeper-diving submersibles have been evaluated, but none is yet available to help. A safety margin would have been included in the Bluefin's program to protect the device from harm if it went a bit deeper than its 4,500-meter limit, said Stefan Williams, a professor of marine robotics at the University of Sydney. "Maybe some areas where they are doing the survey are a little bit deeper than they are expecting," he said. "They may not have very reliable prior data for the area."

Meanwhile, officials were investigating an oil slick about 5,500 meters (3.4 miles) from the area where the last underwater sounds were detected. Crews collected an oil sample and sent it back to Perth in western Australia for analysis, a process that will take several days, said Angus Houston, the head of the joint agency coordinating the search off Australia's west coast. He said it does not appear to be from any of the ships in the area, but cautioned against jumping to conclusions about its source. The Bluefin can create a three-dimensional sonar map of any debris on the ocean floor. But the search is more challenging in this area because the seabed is covered in silt that could potentially cover part of the plane. "What they're going to have to be looking for is contrast between hard objects, like bits of a fuselage, and that silty bottom," Williams said. "With the types of sonars they are using, if stuff is sitting up on top of the silt, say a wing was there, you could likely see that ... but small items might sink down into the silt and be covered and then it's going to be a lot more challenging."

The search moved below the surface after crews picked up a series of underwater sounds over the past two weeks that were consistent with signals from an aircraft's black boxes, which record flight data and cockpit conversations. The devices emit "pings" so they can be more easily found, but their batteries last only about a month and no sounds have been heard for seven days. Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott raised hopes last week when he said authorities were "very confident" the underwater signals were from the black boxes on Flight 370, which disappeared March 8 during a flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing with 239 people on board, mostly Chinese. Houston said Monday that the signals were a promising lead, but that finding aircraft wreckage in the remote, deep patch of ocean remains extremely difficult.

Can't hurt...no one else can find it.

This whole sorry saga sure has shown up major faults in the world of aviation.

Hoping the coconuts will lead the way to the plane.... you never know.

Travelling to Australia, or anywhere else where there are coconut trees, ...best to park your rental car in the hot sun rather than under the shade of a coconut tree.
Falling coconuts make big mess of car roof.

Never have I heard of Witch doctors with ‘magic coconuts’ before.
Could be a clairvoyant type person who got a vision while drinking from coconuts, waving them around, or banging them together, who knows.

If the Witch doctor does happen to find the plane he should be able to make a lot of money in future.

Yes, indeed, you never know. Didn't they lead to the rescue of the castaways on Gilligan's Island?
