Map of the previous search areas, and of where ships have picked up pings. Ocean Shield is the Australian ship w/ US pinger locator, Hai Xun is the Chinese ship. JACC official said it is unlikely that both ships were picking up the same signal.
I wonder how much the boxes will actually be able to tell? The person responsible seemed to do everything in his power create a mystery for the world to solve.
But I'm hopeful. And ready for the conclusion to this mess.
With a big ol WTF to this: A new report suggesting that the missing flight MH370 deliberately circled around Indonesian air space after it vanished appears to lend credibility to an earlier claim that the jet was hijacked.
CNN reported that it had been told that the Boeing 777 might have flown around Indonesian air space on the night it vanished in what could have been a deliberate attempt to avoid radar detection.
That new report tends to support an anonymous email received by the Daily Mail last week - from what is believed to be a Malaysian government source - in which it was claimed that the aircraft had been hijacked and the pilots were told to circle around an area 'near Malaysia' while negotiations with the hijackers were carried out.
According to the email received by the Mail the hijackers demanded that a five year jail sentence imposed on Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim be lifted - and while negotiations were being carried out the plane was ordered to fly around near Malaysia and Indonesia for five hours.
Although the email cannot be verified and the claimed government source has not been identified, its contents tend to fit in with separate information now received by CNN.
The writer, who corresponded in Chinese, said in the translation that if an agreement was reached for the jail sentence to be lifted, the aircraft would be allowed to land safely.
But if, after five hours no agreement was reached, 'the plane will be destroyed'.
The source said in the email that although the aircraft's main communication system had been closed down, negotiations continued through what the writer said was an 'internal communication channel.'
According to the source, the government took five hours to declare the loss of the plane because that was when the negotiation time ran out and when officials realised the aircraft could not stay in the air any longer.
During those five hours, said the writer, 'the plane was always flying around the Malaysian area.'
The Boeing company said later that the jet would have been able to stay in the air for a few hours more than the five hours referred to in the email.
Although both the CNN report and the email received by the Mail have come from unidentified sources, the claims in both tend to agree on one major point - that MH370 circled around the Malaysian-Indonesian area before, as pings from the bottom of the sea suggest, it finally flew out into the Indian Ocean where it ran out of fuel.
He said that China also reported seeing white objects floating in the sea 55 miles from where the ping was detected.

I wonder why this is.
I'm guessing it's because the range of such a signal would be smaller than the distance that the ships are apart?
Ok this post is a month old and it STILL makes me LOL until I cry.
I haven't been reading every page. Why is it LOL?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using proboards
Because Caden and I are both nervous fliers, and it was said it such a matter of fact way I can hear her voice ( Michigan accent and all) while she says this. I am LOLing right now!!

I didn't realize Anwar's acquittal had been overturned. Holy crap.

I am taking this with a big grain of salt, given both the anonymous source and the involvement of the Daily Mail. But, if this is what really happened, the level of duplicity on the part of Malyasia is mind-blowing.

Is it possible that such a hijacking could happen w/o the notice of the US or China? Or do you think they've known and are waiting for the Malaysians to own up? This does create a sensitive situation for them. I'm not sure how important this Anwar is, but this would change things considerably.

As long as that plane wasn't in their airspace I could see them being like :

I just realized from the view statistics that 57 people have viewed this thread for every one who has posted. Although I'm guessing many of them are us checking back in on new posts, that's a pretty impressive ratio.

Nothing to add to the real discussion, but that was my favorite Fresh Prince episode ever.

I have probably clicked this post 150 times. This is the best place for "Where is the plane!!" news IMO.

Latest press conference update:
- They heard pings twice more today, for a total of four times (5 if you count the Chinese report) - They have analyzed the pings and determined that they are definitely coming from a man-made object and are consistent with the black boxes on MH370 - They have greatly reduced the search area after today's pings, believe they will find the plane within a matter of days - Because the ocean floor in the area is a thick layer of silt, it is possible that MH370 is essentially buried under the ocean - The pings are getting weaker, the batteries are most likely dying - There are submarines in the area but no country will disclose how deep their subs can search
