Malaysian Boeing 777 missing

Australia has now announced that it has found some debris on satellite images some 1,200km south west of Perth. This would correspond to where the aircraft could have run out of fuel. Aircraft and ships are en-route to investigate.

From what Aussie search and rescue have said, their experts are confident that the sightings are genuine, so much so that all of their search efforts are now concentrated on that 1 area (too me the photos could be of anything, but I am absolutely not an expert). I truly hope this proves to be the plane and the families of those on board can at least have an answer, it must be terrible for them having nothing to hold on to.

Well hopefully this is the wreckage. But don't count on it. If they piggybacked that plane to avoid radar - this will be a big wakeup call for all the sleeping mopes

My niece is a commercial airline pilot. She is furious that the type of information being relayed to us (general public)is so sketchy.

First of all, she says there are very few people who would know how to disengage the transponder or any location detection equipment outside of course the pilot and co-pilot.
Secondly, this sudden dive and loss of altitude is strange and loss of contact at a specific point is strange. Where was the plane going?Down, or farther on? No debris? Unlikely that a plane that size with that many people could disappear without luggage, fragments of aircraft and oil slick. Recall KA007? Shot down and even though the initial hit as reported by the Russian pilot mentioned that the plane was in fact intact as it went down save for smoke from the rocket strike.

We are being told that it is likely in a place where it will never be found .

That much I can believe .

It seems that they have found something.

The relatives are about to be informed by the Malaysian PM who will held a press conference afterwards.

I would think that they have enough evidence now, to know that the plane have crashed somewhere near the current search area in the souther Indian Ocean.

According to the Independet, the SAR units could be just few hours from finding the wreckage.

*edit, a brief statement by Malaysian PM, said that they now know that the plane ended it's flight at the end of the
southern corridor and that there is no hope of survivors. This is based on new satellite data calculations.

Najib said: “With deep sadness and regret, according to this new data, we must conclude flight MH370 ended in the Southern Indian Ocean."



UK experts told the Malaysia PM that satellite signals have shed more light on MH370 flight path.
They concluded that MH370 flew along the southern corridor and that its last location was in the South Indian Ocean, Najib Razak said.

What with the increasing debris sightings this now looks like the likely outcome.

I can understand some families not wanting to believe it until physical evidence is found though.

Now let's hope they find the black boxes and then the investigation can begin...

[minardi]

"Malaysia Airlines deeply regrets that we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and that none of those on board survived... we must now accept all evidence suggests the plane went down in the Southern Indian Ocean."

The TEXT MESSAGE sent to the families of the people on board. I'm astounded... a text message to tell the families the news they were so desperately hoping they wouldn't hear is just inexcusable and unacceptable
