I went through 600 tiles, marked 6 objects...likely Oil Rig Related...and then it kinda went wonky after sitting for a while. Just gave me black tiles.
I went through only 100tiles, but I found what I think is an engine, but now it froze:( I can't mark it. Map 299677. Anyone want to check it? http://www.tomnod.com/nod/challenge/malaysiaairsar2014/map/299677
Nice find....but according to the scale, that would be a 60 ft long engine.
Well, it looked a bit long, but I couldn't find the actual "length" of an engine anywhere on the web. How long is it actually supposed to be?

Depending on the model it should be 154 to 170 inches long. So, about 12.5 to 14.5 feet.
The earlier 777-200, -200ER and -300 versions are equipped with GE90, Pratt & Whitney PW4000 or Rolls-Royce Trent 800 e

Oh well. Maybe the engine got water-clogged and bloated up to 60ft?
