China now claims to have spotted debris by satellite in the South China Sea!


Quote:

Malaysia's Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein broke off the question and answer segment of his briefing in Kuala Lumpur to say: "The news that I just received is that the Chinese ambassador received satellite image of floating objects in the southern corridor and they will be sending ships to verify."

Given the source is a Malaysian official, read with skepticism. The way the Malaysian Authorities have handled this incident has been a dog's breakfast from the get-go

Tony Abbot, the Australian prime minister, speculated that object that has been spotted could be a shipping container or something other than plane wreckage.

Meanwhile, for those of you who might enjoy this kind of thing, I posted a little AAR in the flight sim screenshots thread of my 11-hour simulated P-3 flight to the current search area: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...02648&page=266

Salute to those doing it for real out there right now! :salute: :yep:

Dunno if this was mentioned before but apparently the airplane was carrying a shipment of lithium-ion batteries.

I don't see the batteries having much of anything to do with the disappearance.

Unless there was a fire so severe it disabled the cargo hold fire warning/suppression systems as well as all communications except SATCOM, yet still allow the aircraft to keep flying for hours.

One thing's for sure - it seems that there's something floating in that part of the ocean, and it's larger than 20m meaning it's something a little bigger than a shipping container. Whatever it is, hope they get eyes on it soon so they can either move forward or rule things out.

Been thinking

What if every one of these scenarios is correct at some part
(Do understand I don't mean those scenario where UFO, Aliens is involved)

What if something happened right after start and something more happen later on a.s.o a.s.o

I could of cource be wrong.

lithium-ion batteries

Even the U.S. Post Office has fits if you try to send those by mail!
Here's a GREAT Idea!
Let's put a bunch of them on a plane and see what happens.
:hmmm:

Some Species of Grays hunt the Universe for those I hear.
:D

Possible debris spotted by a civilian aircraft.
