(362 posts)Money has already been spent to develop all these technologies, and to build all these ships and airplanes. Some of the technology being used was probably initially invented for the purpose of war. Why not now use it to find this airplane?
It is a multinational effort by several wealthy nations. They can afford it.
It's a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things, and it is actually going for something worthwhile, as opposed to finding new and efficient ways to kill people.
Of all the insanely bullshit reasons that governments tend to spend money, search and rescue is one I can get behind. I realize that it's pretty much certain those passengers did not survive, but that doesn't mean finding the answer does not have immense value.
They will keep looking, and I believe they will eventually find it. I support the effort.
