Interesting that since this plane dissappeared and the number of times Pakistan has been cited as a possbile landing area, the goverment of Pakistan has not even issued any kind of statement denying it or that they are investigating it.

Not that most of the world would believe them anyways

I think we sent a message to Pakistan and Iran when we released the picture of the mockup of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier in Iran. You know: Hey guys, we see shit. We can certainly see a 777.

The timing of that was not a coincidence.

My money is on, "they flew it to Bin Ladin's villa in Pakistan, so he can travel in style." And of course, no one at the Pakistani military academy nearby knows anything about the big assed plane parked next to the villa.

Two More Objects Sighted From Air
An Australian plane searching for missing flight MH370 has located two further objects within the search area.

The objects were spotted about 1550 miles south-west of Perth by a Royal Australian Air Force P3 Orion aircraft.

"The crew on board the Orion reported seeing two objects, the first a grey or green circular object and the second an orange rectangular object," Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott told parliament.

"I caution ... that we don't know whether any of these objects are from MH370, they could be flotsam.

"Nevertheless, we are hopeful that we can recover these objects soon and they will take us a step closer to resolving this tragic mystery."

The Australian military ship HMAS Success is the only vessel currently within the search area. The vessel will try to retrieve the two objects over the next few hours.

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority said the entire crew of HMAS Success is keeping a lookout for the objects.

Mr Abbott said a US Navy Poseidon, a second Royal Australian Orion and a Japanese Orion are also en route to the area.

The objects are separate from several "suspicious" floating objects sighted by a Chinese search plane earlier today.

The crew of the military Ilyushin-76 aircraft saw "white and square" objects dispersed over several miles in the southern Indian Ocean.

They included two "relatively big" objects and several smaller ones.

The objects cited by the Chinese were seen near an area identified by satellite imagery as containing possible debris from the missing airliner.

A Chinese military plane had earlier set off from Perth to find "suspicious debris" captured by satellite imagery in the remote waters.

The US Navy has also announced it is sending one of its high-tech black box detectors to the southern Indian Ocean.

The towed pinger locator, which is pulled behind a vessel at slow speeds, has highly sensitive listening capability so that if the wreck site is located, it can hear the black box pinger down to a depth of about 20,000ft (6,100 metres).

The navy called the move a "precautionary measure" in case those sightings confirm the location of the aircraft which disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board.

US Seventh Fleet Operations Officer Commander Chris Budde said in a statement: "If debris is found we will be able to respond as quickly as possible since the battery life of the black box's pinger is limited."

Malaysian news conference; about 20 minutes ago:


Quote:
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.

We will be holding a press conference tomorrow with further details. In the meantime, we wanted to inform you of this new development at the earliest opportunity. We share this information out of a commitment to openness and respect for the families, two principles which have guided this investigation.

Malaysia Airlines have already spoken to the families of the passengers and crew to inform them of this development. For them, the past few weeks have been heartbreaking; I know this news must be harder still. I urge the media to respect their privacy, and to allow them the space they need at this difficult time.

I think this is simply the Malay government washing their hands of the whole thing. The last thing they want is a conversation about radical Islam juxtaposed to their political structure.

ok, so now the officials are hanging their hat on the plane flying for hours in a southern direction before ending up in the Indian Ocean. and just read an article guessing that maybe the pilots passed out and couldn't control the plane.

we hardened the cockpit doors to keep peeps out....but what if the pilots did pass out, but there was someone in the back that didn't...but they couldn't come to the rescue because they could not get thru the locked door?
