Malaysian Prime Minister: Flight 370 Ended in Southern Indian Ocean - Airline Tells Relatives There Were No Survivors
As the search for the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 continued late Monday, the country’s prime minister, Najib Razak, said Monday the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 flew along the southern corridor and that its last known location was in the southern Indian Ocean west of Perth. The airline told relatives of survivors that the plane is “lost” and that there were no survivors. The flight “ended” in the Southern Corridor, the prime minister said, referencing data from Inmarsat… (www.frequentbusinesstraveler.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
New thought...How plausible would it be that some one (hijacker) stowed away in the rest area?
No need to involve airport security and airport employees, when any one of 239 people who walked on to the plane could be an hijacker on the onside.
Apart from some behavioral analysis done by trained observers, these look like any other passenger on the outside. Especially when they're not even checking passports against the list of known stolen credentials.
Without biometrics, it's hard to be certain the passport belongs to the passenger carrying it.

Who knows what to believe anymore. I just hope and pray that tangible evidence is found so that the families and friends of the lost have some closure.
I feel badly for the families of the passengers who have to sift through all the rampant speculation by the news and different government bureaucrats for some glimmer of hope. They are the collateral damage in this war of disinformation.
All this talk about how the plane landed, whether soft or hard. Best I remember, AF447 went into pieces, hence there were bodies. Either they haven't found the right debris field or the fuselage didn't break up, thereby holding in the bodies. Just an idle thought for a Saturday morning.
Well since we're doing Sat am speculating: if the pane were to land softly enough to not break up, and passengers hadn't been intentionally killed earlier in flight, there would've been passengers alive to escape on life rafts with ELTs before the plane finally sunk into the water. The US Airways plane landing on the Hudson shows that an intact plane will take a while to sink.
But landing carefully and softly doesn't seem to fit very well with flying into a far deep corner of the world, with deep rough waters.

...and in the last day or so, they found another field in which to look for hay stacks....
