One of the four who didn't show for the flight. Seriously, I think I saw her on an episode of house hunters.

really ... the only way he could reach her was through public tweets and then she felt the need to post a blog describing how many times the media has tried to contact her :facepalm:

MAP: Oil Rig is at point labeled South China Sea; red marker is site of wreckage found just today by Chinese satellite. According the the spokesman on the video, the site coincides with the oil rigger's witness accounts and would be the logical place to find it if the plane did not turn around.



Have to add, this is eerie, as I've spent the last two hours on Tomnod clicking 35 spots on satellite images taken March 9.

Don't mean to nitpick, but just to be clear, wreckage was not found today. Today China released radar images showing potential wreckage (not yet confirmed), and the images were captured Sunday around 11AM.

Wow! In China, this information is not being broadcast to the public - per CNN.

This is a bit perplexing. Isn't this one of the first areas that was searched?

No, as I stated--the wreckage photo was taken via satellite on Mar 9 (Sunday) but they have just released these to media today. These are NOT old debris photos already discounted.

Not sure what area was first searched (the news has been all over the place), though I don't think they've concentrated their search this far out with all the talk of "turning" the airplane around. But this site would also coincide with the general direction of the loud noise heard by 8 villagers living in Marang (just south of Terengganu). They said they heard a loud noise coming from the northeast.

I understand. My point is at this time it's suspected, rather than confirmed "wreckage" and actual physical wreckage has not been discovered, just images that may depict such. Agree, it's new info, a new lead.

Is it true that radar can track up to and within only 200 miles from a coastline?

When you look at the properly scaled map, when the plane was at the 1:20 a.m. mark in flight, it looks to be closer to the Malaysian border. Yet first reports say the plane was supposed to make contact with Vietnam at that point. It looks as if Vietnam is still too far away for that to have been true if the statement about detection within 200 miles is correct.

What's up with this? (yesterday CNN was showing a map with the 1:20 a.m. mark almost touching Vietnam, today the mark is nearer to Malaysia.)

I hope this is it for the sake of the families who have lost loved ones.

Correct. All we can do in wait and hope.

China posts images of possible plane debris http://www.news10.net/story/news/world/2014/03/12/malaysia-airlines-investigation/6315339/ … #MalaysiaAirlines

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — The Chinese government has published satellite images of what authorities suggested may be wreckage from the Malaysia Airlines flight missing since early Saturday.

The images, taken Sunday, show three fragments in the South China Sea between Malaysia and Vietnam. They were posted Wednesday on the website of China's State Administration of Science, the BBC and CNN reported.

Came home from work and was wondering if there were any new, concrete, developments..

From your post I gather Not?...

UPDATE..Just read the the Chinese released satellite imagery of a potential crash site..images they have had for a few days

 

[Woe.be.gone]

Why wouldn't ships and other equipment be there by now though?
I read China has five ships deployed to help search. The whole area, as far as we know, has already been searched (during the first 90 hours). Am I mistaken about the location? Can't figure out why they'd delay searching this long if the image was spotted on Sunday.

Gotcha; yes, potential wreckage. I'll amend my post to reflect that--thanks, Boodles.

Praying for closure at this point.

Yes there is. See page 29 of this thread. The Chinese released to the public satellite images taken on Sunday.

They may or may not be something, but to me they look like something. :twocents:

Rather good post on A.Net

Once an alert had been declared that the plane was missing - Brazil was able to get a C-130 over the last contact location that same day before dark. They found floating debris.

France was unable to get an aircraft to the location that day, but did get some assets out the next day.

Having the search 'haystack' pinned down to a relatively small area - Brazilian and French ships were on-site within 3 days and started to recover debris.

There was a major political battle over who would take custody of the debris, with Brazil winning most of the argument, though the debris were eventually turned over to BEA in France as the lead investigative agency. There was criticism that the 'sloppy' Brazilian recovery techiques damaged some of the debris - most notable the vertical stabilizer.

There was another major battle over custody of the bodies recovered. Since almost all were recovered by Brazilian ships - the French were unable to gain access to the bodies until Brazil released them to the families.

Some in France were critical of the autopsy of the Captain of the aircraft as not being thorough and his remains not preserved well enough to allow a competent examination when returned to France.

Senegal and Cape Verde refused to acknowledge any responsibility to issue an alert about a missing aircraft because AF447 had never made contact with Cape Verde Oceanic.

(As contrast to this case - apparently Vietnam Oceanic raised the alarm early when they did not get the expected contact with MH370 and could not obtain a response to their calls. Malaysia and Vietnam were quickly discussing the aircraft, and an alert issued quickly.)

One nation, I forget which, got upset at the Spanish ATC supervisor who finally said "To heck with procedure and jurisdiction - I will issue a missing aircraft alert" for exceeding his authority for an aircraft not located in his operational control area. This bickering over who is responsible wasted over two hours after everyone along the possible flight path knew the plane had not made contact with anyone since leaving Brazilian Oceanic.

The last bit is quite mad, it wasn't until I think 10/11am that the News had hit World Media, aircraft didn't turn up in CDG and Airline was like huh?
