MH370 press conference at 10 AM EST

[B2G]

Something must be up. They're meeting with the families of the passengers right now.

[magical thyme]

1. hmmm....they had seen a number of large objects in the past 12 hours or so

and were close enough this time to possibly get to them and identify them before they drifted out of range...

2. It's like the Indian Ocean is playing the 'Where's your nose?' game.

"Here it is. No, it's gone. Where is it? Here it is."

12. Pretty disgusting of the news vultures to broadcast

the wailing of distraught family members as they left the conference.

Even MSNBC broadcast that, more than once, so I can only assume that certain other channels are playing it often as well.

Why, after every disaster, must the media exploit the fresh grief of the bereaved, rather than simply making a statement about the pain they are undergoing? Ugh.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

13. Whoops, replied to the wrong comment.

That was meant as a first level comment under the diary.

[magical thyme]

15. that's ok. I kind of figured it.

Glad I didn't put on any of the video, though. The media has zero consideration for others' grief or bereavement. Zero, nyet, nada. It's all about ratings, no matter how much unecessary pain they inflict.

3. Crumbs for teh cube rats?

Please?

[malaise]

4. More debris was spotted by both Australian and Chinese aircraft

one piece rectangular and another circular. A ship was heading to find said debris.

meanwhile relatives were sent texts that the aircraft was lost

Malaysian Airlines says it now has to assume "beyond any reasonable doubt" that missing flight MH370 has been lost and there are no survivors.

The announcement came in a text message, seen by the BBC, that was sent to families of those on board.

9. "has to assume" is a funny way of saying there is definite proof.... nt

[randome]

5. .

[hr][font color="blue"][center]I'm always right. When I'm wrong I admit it.
So then I'm right about being wrong.[/center][/font][hr]

6. Maylasian PM

just said that that no one survived crash.

"All lives are lost"

[marions ghost]

8. I don't think the PM would have said that

if there were any remaining doubts. Seems like it's just a matter of official verification of the debris.

The Malaysian prime minister's words were carefully chosen and meant to prepare the families IMO.

What in the world went wrong on that plane? I sure hope we know eventually.

[sufrommich]

7. I just tuned in,is the satellite data from

when the plane went down or did they find debris?

[Texasgal]

10. It's not definitive

but they are pretty sure it's the plane with debris found.

11. British satellite says it saw the plane

but how it knew it was 370 without 370's responder to identify it is a puzzle to me, equal to the mystery of why the plane disappeared.

They've said the reason it took so long for some countries to provide informatin is because there are so many blips on their radar that it was difficult to find one plane with certitude..so how they all of a sudden got certainty will be questioned. Conveniently, the bottom of the ocean there is 3 miles down, and even subs don't go down that far...

[magical thyme]

14. they may have been able to piece together the military radar from multiple countries

plus the satellite data from multiple countries and narrow it down by process of elimination. Remove the blips they can identify and end up with a bunch of blips they can't identify, and a pattern emerged?

[marions ghost]

16. PM Najib's statement said the UK data analysis is conclusive:

"This evening I was briefed by representatives from the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB). They informed me that Inmarsat, the UK company that provided the satellite data which indicated the northern and southern corridors, has been performing further calculations on the data. Using a type of analysis never before used in an investigation of this sort, they have been able to shed more light on MH370’s flight path.

Based on their new analysis, Inmarsat and the AAIB have concluded that MH370 flew along the southern corridor, and that its last position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth.

This is a remote location, far from any possible landing sites. It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this new data, flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean."
