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 !

Re: Malaysian Boeing 777 missing
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.Obama to Biden - "Let the Welfare checks rain upon the Earth - I am going to a barbecue"

Re: Malaysian Boeing 777 missing
They're now saying the satellite images did not show the plane.

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

Re: Malaysian Boeing 777 missing
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 .

This means that it had fuel for another 6-6,5 hours if you take into consideration that

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).

Re: Malaysian Boeing 777 missing
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.
