MH370 Pinger, Frequency Discrepancies, and the Number 33
Search efforts for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 reported hearing "pings" at 33.3 kHz, rather than the standard 37.5 kHz used by black boxes. The hosts criticize an Associated Press expert for mistakenly referring to the frequency in "megahertz" and suggest the number 33 is a sign of a planted story. They question how a sophisticated transmitter's frequency could shift so significantly due to battery age or water depth.
