Last position of #MH370 compared with Malaysia secondary radar coverage. Primary radar typically 60nm.

Can someone who has experience with looking at satellite images describe exactly what one would expect to see if there was a debris field? Would there likely be large parts? Or all very small?

I have a Facebook friend (went to high school with him 20 years ago) who is in Kuala Lumpur right now, traveling for pleasure. I posted on FB last night about MH370, and my theories of what could have happened. He responded, "What!? I am in Malaysia right now, about to board a plane in the Kuala Lumpur airport, and I have heard NOTHING about this plane disappearing. Thanks for the info!"

Now how freaking weird is that!?

That makes your skin crawl I am not "with" all the facebook, twitter, twatter,i phone, e phone, r phone,call forwarding, call backwarding, texting,etc etc!

Do you have a way to get more info from him? How long has been there,what Airline is he on? What is the media talking about there if not this? Any helicopters police running about?

The scoop first-hand from someone that is not a journalist hey ya all we be able to get some truth after all!

A N Y T H I N G man that would be awesome angle but is giving me the creeps................takes me back to I think someone pushed a wrong button over there Friday evening....................

IDK as I am truly clueless on this subject. I just thought I would pass on the info I heard on The View!
Wish I knew enough to discuss in a more helpful way!

Trying to map this:

Salahnama Island (Pulau Salahnama in Indonesian) is a small island in the Strait of Malacca, off the coast of Sumatra, about 40 km from Tanjung Balai and 10 km south of Pandang Island. It belongs to Indonesia.

The island is about 500 m long and 250 m wide. It is densely wooded with steep rocky sides rising from the sea. Two above-water rocks lie on the north and south sides, the latter about 800 m from the shore. Its highest point is 89 m above sea level.

Salahnama and Pandang are locally known as The Brothers.

Did anything come of the images last night of a plane in the sea apparently found on Tomnod?

And... A Five-Alarm Fire near UCSF in San Francisco...?

Hmmmmm?

I'm generally not a conspiracy theorist, but I was curious about what other 'sleuthers thought when they first heard about the Harlem explosion. I was sitting here while listening to CNN coverage about the missing Malaysian plane when they broke in with the reports about the building explosion. I immediately thought, "WTF?!?"

I think it's safe to say that we'll know a lot more about the cause of the explosion within a few hours - not the nearly six days that it's been since the Malaysian plane disappeared.

If nothing else, I sure am getting a geography lesson about an area I really didnt know a whole lot about.

Well i have to admit it crossed my mind, but not very seriously. I image that until that plane is found, NORAD and CIA and everone else is going to be a little extra vigilant.

I thought they were blaming the explosion on a gas leak?

It would be really strange if the plane had continued flying on autopilot until it ran out of fuel and crashed into the sea.

Thanks, I couldn't find it! Looks like it's across the Strait from KL - again with the theory of them turning around and trying to get back to the airport.

According to this island native offering a vacation there, it takes 3 hours by boat from the coast of Sumatra to Pandang Island

Hmm. I marked some things last night in Tomnod, but only 2-3 of which looked like possible pieces of wreckage. Is there news of wreckage findings?

Tomnod is really a cool bit of technology. Apparently thousands of people logged on to help. Here's two screenshots of what I marked (though for all I know I was marking a whale or something):

Just got on this morning and there are 10 new pages. But this was on Twitter and didn't know if posted yet, here. A Stanford student who grew up around aviation (and almost went into aerospace engineering) posted this theory of what happened (using the weakness of the fuselage in 777's discussed earlier in here), and it's gone viral on Twitter. Here's the part of his post that answered my earlier question about why the oxygen masks wouldn't therefore have deployed with decompression:



The rest of his theory is pretty interesting, too, if you want to read it (and would put the wreckage out in the East China Sea, the Sea of Japan or the Pacific Ocean rather than the South China Sea). And all the pieces of the puzzle would be accounted for. Here's the link:

(Off to read the pages I've missed...)

That's very similar to what I posted last night (and very interesting, isn't it?) except that this guy has the plane going the other way, toward the Malacca Strait and then up toward the Andaman Sea (based on the military seen/not seen radar and the search efforts):

That's not so strange. I'd believe that before I'd believe it's covered in tarp in some jungle.

Yes, that has now been confirmed. But, when I first heard about the explosion when CNN interrupted live reporting on the missing Malaysian plane, the only information was that there had been a huge explosion in Harlem. My immediate thought was that it might somehow be related to the airline situation.

Here you go (since I already had Photobucket open)... See red marker. Kuala Lumpur is on the far right.

They found a body with a life vest in the waters around Salahnama Island (Pulau Salahnama in Indonesian). Did you marked near there?

They also found a raft around Port Dickson, south of KL. Did you mark anything over there?

And Port Dickson is just south of KL, which is where they found the raft.
