"Instead of manually operating the plane’s controls, whoever altered Flight 370’s path typed seven or eight keystrokes into a computer on a knee-high pedestal between the captain and the first officer, according to officials."

BBC now saying the ping data indicates that the plane was in flight and therefore is likely to be found at the end of either the north or south corridor - most likely the south.
Also that the evidence is consistent with a direct trajectory towards the South Pole. Mike |

Maybe 10%, possibly more. What percent chance do you suppose that a black hole swallowed it? |

Sorry for any confusion, I thought it would be clear to you that I posted that link to highlight the Fox anchor's Noah's ark claim. Not whether or not the plane would ever be found.

Of course, the still missing plane is still a mystery but FWIW:
http://www.smh.com.au/national/missing-m......620.html The location of debris from the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in the southern Indian Ocean would eliminate some of the wilder theories about what happened to the plane and would lean towards the likelihood of an emergency on the flight, an attempt by the crew to turn back and complications that caused them to fall into unconsciousness leaving the plane on a ghost flight until it ran out of fuel. While some sort of botched hijacking that led to the pilots being killed cannot be ruled out entirely, it seems very unlikely given the location of the possible wreckage. The hijack theory would have more credence if MH370 was located along the north-western flight path towards the Middle East. The trajectory might have even pointed to the political motivation. The location also seems to rule out the hijack theories, because there are no airports along the southern flight path. Far more plausible is the theory, favoured for days now by professional pilots on chat sites and blogs, that the pilots had an event on board that took out the communications and led to a slow or rapid decompression which rendered the crew incapable of making an emergency landing. Pilots have only a few minutes to bring a plane down to below 4000 metres before the passengers and crew will become disoriented, then unconscious and eventually die. In 1999 a Lear jet carrying professional golfer Payne Stewart flew for several hours with its passengers and crew unresponsive, before it ran out of fuel and crashed in a field in South Dakota. Speculation on the cause of a disaster has focused on: Corrosion around the satellite antenna which caused it to break, cutting off communications, and causing a slow decompression that left the crew confused by the time the cabin pressure alarm went off. The satellite antennas on Boeing 777s had been the subject of an airworthiness directive issued by the National Transport Safety Bureau in November 2013. An explosion of the flight deck crew's emergency oxygen supply, in a bay under the floor which also includes communications systems. In 2008 an emergency oxygen tank exploded on a Qantas 747, causing a hole in the fuselage, decompression, and an emergency landing. A fire, which might explain why the plane initially climbed before descending. The crew may have been attempting to extinguish the fire by depriving it of oxygen, but then were overcome by smoke and fumes, leaving the plane to continue on autopilot. Several pilots familiar with Asian air routes have speculated the new route programmed into the plane's computer was consistent with it heading for Langkawi, which has a large airport and easy terrain. The possibility of pilot suicide cannot be ruled out, but in the last two cases where it was suspected, the planes were flown into the ground. The notion of a pilot disabling the communications systems and waiting for the plane to run out of fuel in eight hours' time seems far-fetched. It only makes sense if the pilot killed himself and the passengers and crew by depriving them of oxygen after setting a course on autopilot.

With all the experts involved in trying to work out how this plane could disappear, wouldn't it just be easier to ask 'THE' expert who has actually made a plane disappear before!!?
On a more serious note, what I find a bit strange is that with the technology the Americans have within a few hours west of the area for monitoring aircraft, that they didn't pick anything up, and have not commentated on it? I also find it strange that the transponders etc. that track the plane are in the cockpit, and can be manually switched off. I'm no aviation expert, but couldn't they be put somewhere where they can't be got at, or is there a reason that they need to be in the cockpit? What I do find worrying though is that this type of plane is entirely controlled by electronics. Boeing themselves have admitted in the past that they had concerns over the security of the planes electronic systems and that the aircraft's computers could be accessed remotely. Boeing had permission 5 months ago to install new security measures on-board it's fleet of 777's by the FAA. I wonder if flight MH730 had had these upgrades? As according to reports the course of the plane was altered manually after it had taken off on a computer that is in the cockpit next to the pilot. This is actually taken from the US Federal Register. 'Special Conditions: Boeing Model 777-200, -300, and -300ER Series Airplanes; Aircraft Electronic System Security Protection From Unauthorized Internal Access These special conditions are issued for the Boeing Model 777-200, -300, and -300ER series airplanes. These airplanes, as modified by the Boeing Company, will have novel or unusual design features associated with the architecture and connectivity of the passenger service computer network systems to the airplane critical systems and data networks. This onboard network system will..........' With this information available in the public domain, how hard would it be for some 'naughty person' to quickly find out what the security issues were, and how to access computers? It's was demonstrated by a hacker last year at a security convention that by using his smartphone that he could access both the plane's system and the pilot's display, however, it was apparently 'said' that he could not take control of the autopilot or full control of the plane. Im finding it a bit strange that this has not been brought up in the media, well not from what I've heard, as to me it is quite worrying. |

China is now investigating a new satellite image of debris in the southern Indian Ocean, potentially from missing flight MH370, Malaysian officials say.

I'm in Australia now, a bit difficult to get Internet connection with such a busy schedule.
I was on my flight to Australia the same day as Flight MH370. Please pray for all affected.
