Quoting Mikey711MN (Reply 267): Agreed, but something that admittedly bothers me about the PR is that the statement could be technically true AND that the airline doesn't subscribe to ACARS, no? Not trying to be pedantic here, but a few threads back seemed to mention that MH does not subscribe to ACARS. The only way to reconcile the PR statement with that is to critically evaluate the word choice. |
Quoting alberchico (Reply 1): ''CNN JUST IN -- "Large solid debris" sighted in sea by Cathay Pacific Airways pilots '' |
Quoting BoeingVista (Reply 2): This maybe the same report from yesterday, without location info its impossible to apraise its credibility. |
Quoting cmhflyguy (Reply 4): Quoting BoeingVista (Reply 2): This maybe the same report from yesterday, without location info its impossible to apraise its credibility. AVHerald says "they saw a large field of debris at position N9.72 E107.42 about 80nm southeast of Ho Chi Minh City" http://avherald.com/h?article=4710c69b&opt=0 |
Quoting JimJupiter (Reply 5): This seems to be the Vung Tau debris field, that has been looked at yesterday - without any results. The "large solid debris" reported today seems to be a new, maybe unrelated find. |
Quoting seb146 (Reply 3): I don't know if this has been asked yet, but I have been hearing some radars may have seen the jet make a U-turn. If we go with that, could it be possible it could be missing in the sea on the other side of the Malaysian Peninsula? |
Quoting gr325 (Reply 15): IT seems like they released a High Res satellite image so everybody can help searching. Its a 3200 km2 area so might take a while to load |
Quoting alberchico (Reply 12): So to summarize, the aircraft is not where it was supposed to be and it seems that the authorities know more than they are revealing ? |

Quoting BA025Heavy (Reply 23): but its not like Borneo where things really can disappear! |
Quoting JimJupiter (Reply 29): Wasn't there a new press conference due by now? |

Quoting rj777 (Reply 28): I think they should start bringing in submarines...... after all the pingers on the recorders only last about what, 2-3 months? |

Quoting jetblueguy22 (Reply 31): Someone in the previous thread mentioned the 3PM news conference was cancelled. Maybe they have something new they are working on? *fingers crossed* |
Quoting slinky09 (Reply 41): But not failure of the aircraft systems, I wonder why? |
Quoting slinky09 (Reply 41): "We are looking into four areas: one hikacking, two sabotage, three psychological problems of the passengers and crew and four personal problems among the passengers and crew" But not failure of the aircraft systems, I wonder why? |
Quoting rcair1 (Reply 101): Interesting - I did not know that. Maybe it has to do with 1) Density of radar systems 2) The fact that radar was largely deployed in Europe first (due to the wars). |
Quoting rcair1 (Reply 107): Secondary has much larger range and most ATC systems do not use primary much (apparently Europe does.) |
Quoting jetblueguy22 (Reply 40): think they know a lot more than they are sharing |
Quoting slinky09 (Reply 41): But not failure of the aircraft systems, I wonder why? |
Quoting jetblueguy22 (Reply 40): Maybe it is just a language barrier. But the gentleman they are interviewing seems hesitant before he speaks. It makes me think they know a lot more than they are sharing. Something just doesn't seem right about it. |
Quoting tortugamon (Reply 43): Nor pilot error.... This speaker is responsible for figuring out who is on the plane and what their backgrounds are to see if there are motives for bringing down the aircraft. This is an intelligence officer of some kind, not a SAR or an airplane guy. ...At least I think. They aren't managing this well. |
Quoting slinky09 (Reply 37): |
Quote: The police chief has also contradicted the earlier statement made by Malaysia’s aviation chief on Monday that five people did not board the plane. In no uncertain terms he said: “There is no such thing as five person who did not board the plane. There is no such thing.” “You take it from me, there were no such thing.” “Nobody booked the ticket that did not board.” |
