    Re: Malaysian Boeing 777 missing

    CNN is confident that the images from the Chinese of Satelite pictures show maybe the site of the missing 777 plane.An oil rig worker had reported seeing a burning plane in the sky,that appeared to be on fire for 10 to 15 seconds .Says he reported what he saw but has no idea if his message got through .
    So maybe a good sign ,and hopefully some questions can now be answered !

    Who turned off the Transponder<<< Would have to be big explosion to turn of everything and no communication from the cockpit.
    The plane did have enough fuel to reach the iranian coast.

    They're now saying the satellite images did not show the plane.

    I don't think it was an explosion that turned off the transponder since debris probably
    would have been found in that area. That does not exclude a possible explosion later on
    but at the moment it's not likely that the plane exploded where it was heard from.

    The Guardian have a pretty good coverage so I would recommend you read the summaries.

    With the fuel that was on board , this plane could be 4,000 miles from where they are searching .

    Re: Malaysian Boeing 777 missing

    I should have said it could have been 4 hours in the air after the transponders were deactivated , which would be in the range of 2,600 miles .

    And , speculation is all anyone has .
    It is what will lead to the truth .

    When the plane left Kuala Lumpur it had fuel for about 7,5 hours and when it reached
    the the waypoint where it last was heard from it had flew for about an hour or so.
    This means that it had fuel for another 6-6,5 hours if you take into consideration that
    it could have used the reserve fuel.

    Here is an overview of how far it could have reached if it stayed at the altitude that it was
    flying at and if it flew at the standard cruise speed (Mach .84),

    A map view of where the plane disappeared on some other points of speculative interest such a nearby
    airport (Trang) that some speculate it might have tried to divert to, a second airport that also have a VOR
    with the same name (TRN) as the airport some believe that they might have tried to divert to and
    the small island of Pulau Perak where the Malaysian airforce might have seen the missing plane on radar.

    A map with the locations for the waypoint where it disappeared (first waypoint), the place of
    the Chinese debris (2nd waypoint, wasn't related to MH370) and the oil rig where a New Zeeland
    oil rig worker claimed that he saw a burning plan (third waypoint).

    If you see the flight path, right at the end where they lost contact it started turning.

    Re: Malaysian Boeing 777 missing

    The latest thing I've heard is that the engines have their own data transmission and continued to send information for six hours. No idea whether that's true or not.
