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....
Yep, and now they have recovered something but it has not been released as whether it's parts of the plane or ocean junk.
They've been recovering ocean junk for weeks. Until any recovered debris is verified to be part of the missing plane, all recovered debris is ocean junk.
Still waiting for a verification.

I don't think they have been recovering; they have been satellite spotting but no recovery. This morning, after moving into the new search area, they have physically spotted and recovered something. I think inbound to Pert as we speak but no ID to media yet.
There have been si many pieces of debris and so many different ships searching, so there are been manh encounters. Each one has been different.
1. Sometimes they could tell just by looking that the debris was not related yo the missing plane and left the junk floating in the ocean.
2. Sometimes they could tell it likely wasn't related to MH370, but removed the foisting junk from the ocean.
3. Other times they couldn't immediately tell if the ocean debris was related to the missing plane and removed it for further inspection.
4. Upon inspecting such removed debris, sometimes they would immediately throw it back in.
5. Other times, they likely brought some debts back to sure for either further inspection or removal from ocean.

The only thing that keeps changing is the location of such searches and debris removal. But the search and response to debris has not likely changed substantially throughout.
When they verify MH370 debris, or even aviation related debris, that will be significant. They may not even make that news public until they have a chance to bring the debris back to shore to more thoroughly verify its' connection to MH370.

I think that's where they are at right now with this they got from the new area. It looked like a duck, so now they got to bring it to shore so they can officially say it's a duck. Unless they work late, because of the time lag and distance to Perth, we may not know until Monday or later.
They may have finally found actual debris from the plane (yet one more time), and we may hear about it tmrw or next week.
But it's all that crying wolf that has made skeptics of many of us. At this point, I'll believe it when I see it.

To boot, everybody says that Malaysia is the sovereign country in this deal, but each country wants to show their expertise a bit and would just like for everybody to get out of the way and let them do it, notably the U.S. and the Aussies and/or UK, and I still yet think that Malaysia is hiding something here and just wishing everybody would go away and let the plane and bodies lie on the floor
