Malaysia airlines B777 missing

[Skybird]

Not the most credible media source, I admit, but the story is being published in German media as well:

Terror suspects arrested and quizzed on lost flight and mysterious 2 tons of unidentified freight. Lithium batteries as cause of catastrophic fire? A conspiration to kill 20 IT experts aboard?

So... basically back to square one

Yep....'Ping area' ruled out:

Doesn't surprise me really. I always thought that the plane going in that direction was weird. Honestly the should just check where the thing would've landed had it just kept going on it's last known confirmed direction. I betcha that's where the thing is.

They don't mean the engine pings, a lot of fancy math was used for that direction to the Southern Indian Ocean, including but not limited to no other radar systems captured the plane in a Northerly direction.

So it's not the pings of the engines received by the satellite that is in question. It's the underwater pings that are now in question.

The Chinese navy heard the first ping, but the next series of pings were over 300 miles away and that was the series of pings that have now been discounted, okay?

even with that... I will eat crow if it turns out to be somewhere other than the bottom of the Indian Ocean

It still doesn't make any sense though. Either way would it really hurt them if they dispatched a small team just to take a look?

No evidence to back up my instinctive feeling but I agree

Why is it strange? Plenty of radars to the north, if it went there. That's the conclusion they've come to; someone would have noticed the plane if it went north.

I do agree that the south isnt the only possibility, it could've gone southwest too, ending up in the middle of Indian Ocean.

I guess MH370 will be another one of those unsolved mysteries, sadly.

I don't know why this woman waited so long to come foreword with her sighting, but it puts MH370 back up North again: http://news.yahoo.com/woman-claims-s...173405219.html

Woman Claims She Saw Missing Malaysian Air Flight While Sailing In Indian Ocean

If true that is, why was it on fire so far off course?

Did she see Jimmy Hoffa's body float by too? Like any unsolved mystery, there will always be those who claim to have clues with not much to back it up. I'm not saying we should discount such sea stories, but they should also be taken with a grain of salt.

[Mr Quatro]

A whistle blower could wind up dead in Malaysian, but now the families of the passengers of flight 370 have hired a private investigator plus offering a $5 million dollar reward.

Shouldn't take long now to find out who, what, when instead of where, uh?

[Catfish]

I think they should consult John P. Craven

edit:
Oops. Looks like they will !

“The same approach we used with Scorpion could be applied in this case and should be,” John P. Craven, the former Navy scientist credited with finding the Scorpion, said in a telephone interview. “But you need to begin with the right people.”

I know I'm not unique but I'd really be interested in finding out what really happened and where the plane is.
