Just saw an American official say that no satellites caught an explosion in that area.


Forgive the autocorrect. Tapatalk has a mind of its own. :)

So according to that article, Malaysian Air didnt subscribe to ACARS, but Rolls Royce does, to monitor the engines. So when Rolls releases their info, we should at least know if the engines were running properly, at what power, and how long. All critical info.

opted out of a Boeing Co. (BA) service to collect real-time performance

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh that is huge I did not know the airline could do that that is important

So now it is 2:40 a.m. over there - another day passes - and nothing! One thing I've figured out - unlike many disappearances and court trials that I have followed here - I can just go to work, come home, click on "last page", and I haven't missed anything!

Things have been stated and then retracted and proven and then disproven, etc. etc. Such a mess! And I am just an interested person - I cannot imagine the pain this is causing the families!!

I do go back and read several pages but conclude that "Nope - no real news"! Anyway...I'm here to sift through the lack of information with all of you :)

Is it possible that they are running a play book - " stall media for x number of hours, exhaustion sets in, media turns attention to some other event" ? Hard to believe they would play that game with so many lives at stake.

After receiving the letter Vietnamese teams reportedly searched the area but found nothing.
The search for the plane expanded to cover the Strait of Malacca Tuesday after reports the Malaysian Military may have picked up radar traces of the plane heading in the opposite direction from takeoff toward Malaysia’s west coast.
Authorities report that evidence has since come under doubt, with no new leads reported as of noon Wednesday.

That doesn't make the letter a fake.

wow - there is so much info at this link - very up to date IMO. Worth a long look for sure.

Agreed. The photos toward the bottom do not suggest a happy ending though, even if they are unconfirmed debris.

Late Mar 12th 2014 China's State Administration of Science (SASTIND) reported, they discovered three large objects sized 13x18, 14x19 and 24x22 meters at position N6.7 E105.63 (121nm eastsoutheast of the last known secondary radar position), all three objects within a radius of 20km (11nm) and published the satellite images, taken on Mar 9th 2014 at 11:00 Beijing time (03:00Z), see below. SASTIND stated they are committed to provide further search services to locate flight MH-370.

Those objects were on images dated the 9 th. Has that area been searched (I would think so). I would also imagine whatever it was has moved away quite a distance. One of the objects is roughly 72 x 66 feet (24 x 22 meters) so that's pretty big.

Not saying that it does. Just saying that they searched the area, and found nothing. Also with US military not seeing an explosion on radar it seems very unlikely that this is what happened.

No- The images were just released March 12 ( it is the 13th there). It's in the middle of the night at the moment too.

A lot depends on which Malaysian official you talk to.

If they really did get a ping way off course in the opposite direction, then hijack is the most likely explanation.

Which is GOOD news because it means a planeful of people are sitting in a field somewhere.

The more time passes without demands or terrorist involvement, the more likely it is just another crash.

Either way I'm amazed that in these days of satellites and global roaming, someone hasn't come up with a better technology than the transponder, which can be turned off.

Learning a lot myself. So the airline can opt-out, but it sounds like the data gets transmitted anyway to Boeing, who makes it available to subscribers, like Rolls Royce. I wonder if Boeing will be able to determine what happened?

Sorry, I realized they were just released but were taken on the 9th. I would wonder how far and in what direction the current would have moved the objects.

The oil rig worker who saw something on fire in the sky the night #MH370 went missing mightve been seeing a meteor, which was also reported.
