HUGE breakthrough!!!!

This is it folks.......this is where she went down.

They were not searching in the right place all along (just as I said).....so now we know the plane went down in the water for whatever reason. Communications probably knocked out in the blast.

Wow!

Yah, it's doubtful the Chinese would release this data, along with coordinates, several days after the fact unless they had vetted it themselves.

Everything else has been false. Maybe true but I'll wait for conformation.

The Chinese would crash one of their own jets if it meant they'd get the attention and good will for 'finding' it. Like others, I'll wait for the confirmation.

Considering most of the passengers were Chinese, I suspect they're as interested as we are, if not more so.

I for one would find it refreshing for the Chinese to take on al Qaeda. Let them have a turn.

If they've been searching along the original flight path, sounds like they have been searching in the right area.

The Chinese agency gave coordinates of 105.63 east longitude, 6.7 north latitude, which would put it in waters northeast of where it took off in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and south of Vietnam, near where the South China Sea meets the Gulf of Thailand.

"It's where it's supposed to be," Peter Goelz, a former National Transportation Safety Board managing director, told CNN's Jake Tapper, noting the "great skepticism" about reports the plane had turned around to go back over Malaysia. "I think they've got to get vessels and aircraft there as quickly as humanly possible."

US Officials believe plane flew on for 4+ hours after last transmission. From the WSJ:

As part of its maintenance agreements, Malaysia Airlines transmits its engine data live to Rolls-Royce for analysis. The system compiles data from inside the 777's two Trent 800 engines and transmits snapshots of performance, as well as the altitude and speed of the jet.

Those snippets are compiled and transmitted in 30-minute increments, said one person familiar with the system. According to Rolls-Royce's website, the data is processed automatically "so that subtle changes in condition from one flight to another can be detected."

Basically, the plane's transmitter was turned off around 1:30AM, but Rolls-Royce was still getting engine data from the plane as late at 5:30AM. It flew an additional 4 hours without being detected. This thing could be anywhere.

And then of course this, which contradicts both the Chinese satellite photo and the statements made about flying an additional 4+ hours. This is getting wacky. More twist than an M. Night Shyamalan movie.

I heard that but it raises the question of why it took 6 days to find this out, if its true.:conf2:

I'm starting to believe they'll never find the plane.

Send a couple of Seawolf/Virginia-class subs to the original area to listen for the pinging.

Yes...I agree. Should have been done the first day.

NTSB now involved so as long as Malaysian officials don't impede them, we'll see some structure to the investigation for the first time.

Not sure why we'd spend the money to dedicate subs to finding a bunch of dead people.

Maybe to make sue they aren't just missing people....

Oh, they'll find it. In North Korea.

You've mentioned that a couple of times without the blue font. Care to explain why you feel that way, how they accomplished it without detection and what their motive was?:conf2:

To be fair, those boats are going to be in the water regardless. Why not assist if we have the resources in the area?
