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

ABC News 24 (Australia) 11pm AEST update is that Australian Airforce have been unable to locate the debris that was reported earlier. Nothing about US 7th fleet being on scene. Confusion.

www.abc.net.au...

This is a tragedy for sure but it looks like a crash was the final ending, bringing to a close differing speclations of landing in abondoned airfields of remote islands, ufo's, black wholes, refitted to carry nukes, used as a terrorist tool, etc. 250+ pages of both outlandish speculation and sound arguments as to "where". We may never know the "why", which could prove to be more mysterious. At least there will be some sort of closure for the families as to where their loved ones ended up. There is lot of 'splainin' to do though from some countries as to why this debris field picked up days ago by Chinese satellites was ignored until now.

Yeah, Australia has a few diff time zones. Like it's 8pm here in east aust and the sun has just gone down, but it's 5:00pm in Perth, and the search zone is a couple of hours behind that IIRC, So they have a few hours of daylight to have a stickybeak.

...and the Canberra zone where the politicians can bore you to sleep anytime, night or day

holy siht a politics joke!

everyone loves those!

they're very clever!

Just perusing some other sites and the conspiracy minds are already saying this 'find' is suspect
Someone was saying that the airline/authorities probably placed debris there and say they have found some debris because the pressure and questions and accusations are becoming too much.

I doubt that but until this has been confirmed I suppose people will keep wildly speculating

what does "confirmed" mean?

please explain

This explains where the plane is, brief two minute vid.

could be~!

Not to be off topic but I had never heard that before. I have to say I had a bit of a reaction to it as well.

Waiting now to hear the briefing. Was nice to finally get some sleep and wake up to some news

Had a good look at the satellite images on my big 50" TV and it doesn't look like any part of a wing or plane or anything I can see. I don't think this will be anything if they can even find the debris.

It seems so far from where the plane was it seems like a real long shot. They have to get hold of the black box but I wonder how long it will take to find and if it will ever be found.

I agree with Splodge that this plane's computer may have been hacked remotely . Regardless of how this incident unfolds there is still the question of Why? .

Could this have been a dry run of some kind ?

Were communications to and from this airplane also remotely disabled ?

If the debris is MH370 , isn't it clear that they didn't want the airplane or the passengers ?

If their goal was to remotely fly an aircarft I believe we can all say they were succesful .

Now the question becomes ...What's next ?

OK . . .here's what I don't get about this latest development.

We've got an ongoing event that has captured the interest of pretty much anyone breathing, and is rife with national . . . no . . . international security implications, and a good number of family members, co-workers, corporate interests and scads of peripheral searches going on, and there is finally a break in the case (so to speak) in that they've spotted what could be debris from this flight.

Where there 'may' be debris, would it not also stand to reason that there 'may' be survivors floating around in some sort of rafty blow up thing, inching closer to dehydration and/or starvation by the minute?

What do those in charge of following up and searching based on this latest development do . . . well, I guess it is standard protocol to gather the media up and say . . .

Well, that'll do 'er for today. We're heading back in to get some shut-eye and maybe a nibble and a bevvy or two . . . we'll catch you back out here after brekky tomorrow . . .

Call me pessimistic, or jaded or fondue-ed in the cranium, but judging on their response, this ain't going to pan out to be much more than a satellite confirmation of the fact we're dumpin' more #e into our oceans than most people think.

Or, they've already got some sort of confirmation or script or order that everyone's dead and there's no reason to rush out there.

Just sayin'

Have the Australians released coordinates? Wonder if the debris is located in a shipping lane? Or a well-known meeting place for debris, due to the aforementioned winds and currents?

No, not really.

relax champ, the "debris" is completely irrelevant

Seems like a great way to divert attention away from Diego Garcia...hey guys look over here! (1600miles West of Australia..)

All the ships, airplanes etc do a handbrake turn and start heading the opposite direction :/

I'd hazard a bet that if one of your kids, or family members were on that plane, you'd not consider them a write-off just yet.

Betcha if that plane carried one of the children of the 'useless leaders' from around the planet, they'd be combing that site 24/7 until confirmation of survivors . . . or not was received.

But, as with many things on a daily basis, I could be wrong.

Just putting this out there......

The detainees said they had encountered ”the Pilot” during al Qaeda training exercises in Afghanistan. Intelligence officers presented photos of hundreds of suspected al Qaeda operatives to the detainees. Several identified an individual who bore a resemblance to Adnan el Shukrijumah.

you're reading me all wrong champ.

i simply think the "debris" is another wild goose chase

i hope and think the plane has landed somewhere. I also hope the people aren't dead.

Test run??

I am not sure if your response is agreeing with me OR are you asking for an explanation

No but they said the following ship HOEGH ST.PETERSBURG was 30 NM away but all I could get for it was its last position on 13th March near Mauritius.
