In reply to: Dr. Chatterjea 's message, "(XSS229/3A)/Water & Sediment in Streams" on 07:55:10 07/16/99 Fri

Just a thought...
During today's lecture, Dr Chatterjea mentioned something about deep basins having higher velocity of water...
This brings back to mind the tragic end of SilkAir. I suddenly realized that the Musi River, being a deep river, will have a great velocity of water. This gives me a clearer picture why they could not find any bodies, they must have been swept away by the currents! (Goon!)

Was also wondering if finding of the dead bodies could be made easier if research had been done on the Musi River and having information like the velocity, water discharge etc of the river at hand. So instead of looking for the bodies at the site of the crash aimlessly for a few days, they might use the information on velocity, calculate, and mount the search a few kilometers downstream???

Just some pennies for my thoughts....
