I want to THANK YOU for helping me get the motivation to figure out how to install GOOGLE EARTH.
I found the application and realized I had never even installed the software. Yesterday I installed it with the thought of looking for the floating pieces and once I finally got it installed, I had so much fun just playing with google earth I never even tried to look for the pieces.
I found my house though. LOL
I haven't heard from Waddles but I am sure she posted this link which I opened then saw it had gone. So I hope you don't mind Waddles, if it was you, but I think it worth posting again as it is very interesting and I just don't know what to make of it.
Malaysian woman claims she saw a plane on the sea on her flight from Jeddah to Kuala Lumpur later the same day as the missing plane. Somewhere near the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean.

Waddles did you post a link and then delete it re the woman flying from Jeddah to Kuala Lumpur?
I don't think there is any doubt that they have better hi res images but they are not making them public.
I don't quite understand why the search is taking so long. Is someone following the coordinates of those floating objects?

If that lady's plane was too high to see planes in the water maybe what she saw was another search plane much lower than her plane. That could be what she saw.
If that new debri near Austrailia turns out to be a wash, I do think they should start looking more in the path towards southern tip of India. When the plane made that turn it seemed to be heading towards southern tip of India. If you draw straight line from tip of India to where that last turn was, that would be my guess where it would have gone down. If its in the water.
I think the lower numbers be explained by the wreckage find. I think finding out it most likely crashed takes all of the intrigue out of it. JMO

I agree with the above poster who pointed out about the family members suffering from fatigue and not being in their own homes. Especially the older ones.
I wonder if something different than the current having them in a hotel couldn't be offered to them? Some means of communication for each of them - I don't know, maybe an ipad for each of them or something like that - and assist them each in returning to their own home. Perhaps assisting other friends and family members to stay with them in their home.
I have been through a couple of very stressful incidents in my life. I had a child who was critically injured and hospitalized in a foreign country. It was torture for me to get there and torture for me to stay there in a hotel - by myself - until my child was released from ICU two weeks later. I longed for the comfort of my own home when I left the hospital each evening. After ICU release, an air transport brought me and my child back to the U.S. where an ambulance met us at the airport and took us straight to a hospital here in my city.
I noted that one of the family members said that people are getting sick and they were asking what was going to be done for them to give them medical care. This is an indication, to me at least, that these poor people somehow need to be convinced that it is not "giving up" for them to return to their own homes, their own doctors, and take care of themselves so that if their loved one does return they will be able to be of assistance to them.
I also read something about if something is found that the family members would be flown to Perth? IMO that's a very bad idea.

My Google doesn't update daily? :waitasec:
------------At this mornings (EDT) press conference, the lithium-ion batteries were mentioned.

http://www.straitstimes.com/the-big-story/missing-mas-plane/story/missing-mh370-carried-lithium-ion-batteries-cargo-not-seen-dan
But considering that high altitudes can cause lithium-ion batteries to become unstable and explode/burn and the allegations that MH370 ascended to 45000 feet, I'm back to wondering about that. I wish there was more confirmed info about this allegation and where the 45000 ft location occurred. Also, what quantity does "some" mean?
Don't mess with India, even if you are China:
China's request to allow its four warships, including two frigates and a salvage vessel, to enter Indian territorial waters has been "politely turned down" since Indian warships and aircraft are already searching the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea around the 572-island cluster, The Times of India reported.
We don't want Chinese warships sniffing around in the area on the pretext of hunting for the missing jetliner or anti-piracy patrols," the English daily reported quoting an unnamed official as saying.

Problem is the amount of time that has passed from imaging to notification. By that time the objects are long gone. Are there drones with imaging capability? Seems that would be efficient. Though, once objects are located they have to be continuously watched because they are going to keep moving. Someone in the media commented that at this point might as well start at Antartica and work from there.

I don't really understand why Australia's PM is having to defend his decision to release information he is getting?

I feel so bad for these poor relatives I can't really read much about this case. The thought of all those people being out in the sea also freaks me out. In other mass disasters, helplines for family are set up, and information/updates are provided by phone to them, while they wait at home.
It doesn't ease the agony of having a loved one missing but I can't help feeling it is far better than dislocating relatives from their homes and support networks, and placing them in a hotel with nothing to do but wait desperately for any scrap of information.
