* Still missing *Malaysian Airlines plane with 239 on board

[ManWithNoName]

Too true. If the plane did indeed crash in there, then surely a ship saw it? Hence why I believe it ain't there. I'm still going with a mid air hijacking by a military aircraft.

So the Bane theory?

 

[Bobman]

Total search area 27,000 nautical miles or 50,000 kilometres.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Certainly would, but not for the 200+ passengers. I still got a feeling that they are alive somewhere.

Sadly I doubt it.

The press conference is finally under way.

Malaysia’s defence and acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein confirms the search has been extended to two areas in the Straits of Malacca and the South China Sea.

Twelve countries are now involved in the search, he said.

Hussien said the “way forward” is to involve more military experts. Lots of military top brass are attending the conference.

Sorry, I got no idea what the bane theory is.

6 Important facts we are not being told.......

I think everyone knows those points... except Point 2 is not correct. They never home in on the black box. It submits pings for sonar, not for GPS or radar.

did I just hear there's a rumour a body has been found? and this bloke said he cant confirm that?

Yep. It was the first question asked by reporters there.

 

[Vecto]

One of the reporters asked about the life boat that was found, and he couldn't confirm anything. Shut it down straight away

EDIT: ^^Pretty sure it was the boat

 

[Quivorir]

Shiiiit.

 

[BLOODsMAGIC]

Yep. It was the first question asked by reporters there.

bloody hell, he turned to the next question like it was so irrelevant.

 

[Juddism]

and now they're saying radar detection was lost at 0215...but they reliability of FR24 and online radars has always been problematic.

 

[Bobman]

as it carries the largest number of passengers pre 380 chances are if things go pear shaped it has an unfair advantage as far as holding those records goes.

Well, within reason the average load is ~200 and many of the 747 crashes were only half-loaded. Compare that to other models like 767 and A300/310/320 which have had similar passenger numbers.

Agree though and I personally love the 747. Sadly, they are being withdraw from the Qantas fleet.

 

[JuddsABlue]

looks like we've confused boat with body

 

[The Prosecutor]

Their media advisers are horrific.

Have one voice - this is just chaos having a panel there.

 

[BG32]

These tossers know how to answer questions

 

[Yidaki]

Reading these comments are so much better than watching the pressor.

 

[JuddsABlue]

I cant understand why its assumed its in the malaka strait

If its flown that far off course without coms, obviously the coms are ****ed, but the plane is fine. As it goes further out to sea obviously radar will be lost. I think its more likely that the plane flew for hours into the ocean until either running out of fuel, or a potential fire overtook it

 

[Juddism]

this is utter confusion as the journalist has mentioned!

 

[Yidaki]

Could definitely be something like that.

 

[Yidaki]

So are we any closer to some answers?

 

[Vecto]

Journo need to ask the exact direction plane was heading at last contact. If it was heading due west (as some reports have said) that would make sense for searching in malaka strait

 

[BG32]

So are we any closer to some answers?

Further than before

 

[Aussie Assault]

this is utter confusion as the journalist has mentioned!

Not according to the transport minister. The areas they're searching are so far a part I dont know how it cannot be classed as anything else but confusion....
