Beijing-bound MAS plane carrying 239 people missing as of 20 mins ago.

Am I the only one who finds it unusual that Mario Balotelli is yet to be interrogated?

I read that he definitely boarded the flight, but I've looked at several different versions of the passenger manifest and still can't find his name.

Then one week later he is back scoring goals for AC Milan...

Coincidence? I think not.

I mean, would you trust a guy who looks like this?

Yes ive done my research on this...its like the fallacy of autoland and people thinking the plane can land by itself with no human interaction. Im sure those capabilities exist in the military industrial complex,however they have not reached civilian aircraft at this time.

The original report was that one of the false-passport passengers looked like Mario. That was later swept under the rug by Malaysian Officials.

I don't think there has ever been a report that he(the soccer player) was an actual passenger

Thank you at least someone is thinking rationally

The largest object was assessed as being 24m, he said. "There's another one that's smaller than that and a number of other images in the general area of the biggest one.'' He said four aircraft had been reoriented to locate the objects about 2500km southwest of Perth. A Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Orion aircraft arrived in the area about 1.50pm.

A further three aircraft have been tasked by RCC Australia to the area later today, including a Royal New Zealand Air Force Orion and United States Navy P8 Poseidon aircraft.

The Poseidon aircraft is expected to arrive at 3pm. The second RAAF Orion is expected to depart RAAF Base Pearce at 6pm.

Well, in the civilian sector, they are a great deal more advanced than 10 years ago. Auto land is not a fallacy, but it takes an approach with ILS to pull it off. There are few , if any, pilots that would use it unless they were absolutely incapacitated, and there was no weather out there.

However, the main thing about them is their capability of an anytime one-button "Hold Altitude and Heading", which it will faithfully do until other factors make it impossible. So, all the wild turns would cease by enabling that (as long as the aircraft controls were operational). We do not have any information other than the plane flew away somewhere.

All I am saying that is that after whatever the last human interaction was, it kept going on whatever heading it was set for. It's happened before, look-up 1999 South Dakota Learjet crash and related incidents. That aircraft in 1999 continued from approximately 13:33z to 17:10z along it's last heading - "unattended".

New Austrailian satellite images

Nice catch. You got a link to that source? It's hard to read the screen-capture or whatever that is at that resolution.

For clarification, what I said regarding the oxygen masks, bottles and stuff ... I am no expert of 777's. I was just re-spouting what I had heard earlier in the day on CNN. But, if it weren't true - I would think it would be recounted already (here on ATS if not on CNN yet).

Not much better but here is both peices

ABC News update at 6.30pm EST (6:34pm as I type) said planes and ships will arrive in a few hours, depending on the weather. I doubt think they'll get there before nightfall. I don't expect any real news for 48 hours.

Thanks. Actually, I thought that might be new pics from P3's or something. It's them finally releasing the satellite images that resulted in this latest search concentration.

Sat images are now being shown on Fox News. Date is March 16, appears to show what might be tail section, but no scale, and other shows what may possibly be horizontal stabilizer.

Photos should be available online now.
ETA- yes thats them, linked below

For anybody interested, here's the link for the Australian Maritime Safety Authority's "media" page ... link. As we might expect, their site is probably being hit pretty hard late. Sometimes it works for me, sometimes it doesn't.

Another link is to their "media kit" for MH370 search: link
Note: That is the page you want to refresh periodically for "official" updates!

Here are direct links to the two satellite images from their MH370 search media kit, at higher-resolution that what appears to be sent on the BBC twitter feed (or any other MSM source for that matter):

• Image-1
  
• Image-2

Not working for me. Any way to upload the pics here?

PS: Regarding those latest satellite images, I sure hope the government folks have access to a higher-resolution version that just isn't de-classified, and they released these as "dumbed-down" versions - because, it just looks like a "blob-squatch" to me. Could be whales engaged in reproductive activity for all I can tell.

Lemme see if they are still in my cache and I'll try to upload.

just going by objectivity not
just the msm.

I haven't been going by the msm either, in fact, most of what I have ascertained has been from pilots, and ex-pilots.

Been a pretty good thread going here, an ATS, as well.

Someone Australian is on my radio (Jeffrey Thomas?) , saying that at the moment radar is coming off this debris area that implies it could well be a plane.

He also said the debris is at the very end of the search range which would support somebody flying the plane into the ocean until the fuel ran out - so suicide.
