I wonder when we will hear from China. It's been about 2 hours since I first heard of this new image. Has it been longer than that?

The image doesn't look high def at all - in fact it looks pixelated imo! I wonder why they did that.
I don't expect anyone to remember my thoughts - but the repetition disclosed from the communications made me suspicious that there was someone new in the cockpit who didn't know a nearly identical transmission had already been made:
Also, Captain Shah said nothing in 54 minutes. Had he been incapacitated?

It's standard procedure for one pilot to fly the plane and the other to handle all radio calls. Malaysian Airlines said the co-pilot made all the calls.
While it's slightly odd, pilots and experts have said it's not unusual for a pilot to repeat the call that the plane is at cruising altitude (the 35,000ft repetition).

If that's true, that would seem quite significant to me - the official line is that the communication was normal and nothing to alert suspicion, but nothing at all from the Captain in nearly an hour would seem out of the ordinary and therefore suspicious to me!
But there are reports that the transcript is 'inaccurate':

Does anyone know if there's an English version of the transcript anywhere? Sorry if this has been posted already

I cant even begin to imagine the unspoken mistrust and base security level that RAAF Pearce has probably never seen before with chinese surveillance aircraft and intelligence people being hosted there. That press conference the other day might as well have just spelled it out it was that obvious what they were saying with as much tact and diplomacy as possible... "China has offered to help... and we will make arrangements to support any nations who would like to send resources in for this search... as long as your not China...."
As i went to bed last night i put the tv on to cnn for updates. There was someone discussing the pings from the sattelite. Apparently the pings that came every hour before 811am came from outside the radius of the last ping. This means if the plane did fly south then it went over Indonesia.
I think they said this information was straight from the sattelite company. Did anyone else see this report?
CNN are reporting that the CEO of Malaysian Airlines has claimed that the transcript released by The Telegraph is not accurate.

Today, Inmarsat revealed some crucial information. The ping timings got longer, Inmarsat spokesman Chris McLaughlin stated via email. That is to say, at each stage of its journey, the aircraft got progressively farther away...
MH370 would have had to have traveled within either of two narrow bands. One pointed north, toward India, Bangladesh, and Burma. The other pointed south, across Indonesian airspace and then across the Indian Ocean west of Australia...
If the plane did travel south, its path should be detectable on stored Indonesian military radar returns.
