"Malaysia Airlines deeply regrets that we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and that none of those on board survived. As you will hear in the next hour from Malaysia's Prime Minister, we must now accept all evidence suggests the plane went down in the Southern Indian Ocean," the message read."
HAVE TO ASSUME? BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT?

Security expert Professor Joe Siracusa (RMIT University) says the most likely explanation for the dramatic course change of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 was criminal activity, but not terrorism."

Krauthammer is saying the monitoring companies have calibrated the MH370 equipment to satellite pings to those aircraft now in known positions, and thus have been able to track the pings and the MH370 to the south Indian Ocean. So we BETTER find the frickin black box or people are not going to be happy getting on a 777
If and when they find wreckage that is beyond doubt part of the plane I will believe this story. A Jihadi's job is not done until the world hears of it, terror needs publicity. Until they find the parts, I will look for it in Pakistan.

Inmarsat's calculations are based on guesses . . .
"By adding in the aircraft’s expected speed Inmarsat worked out that the 777 was likely to have come down somewhere at the end of the two arcs."

"Where we then went was to work out where the last
ping was, knowing that the aircraft still had some fuel, but that it would have run out before the next automated ping. We don't know what speed the aircraft was flying at, but we ASSUMED about 450 knots."

Again, these decisions are based on nothing more concrete than assumptions - and we all know what assuming leads to.
US pinger on way to plane search
The US Navy is sending high-tech equipment to Perth to help with the search for the crashed Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
Pentagon press secretary Navy Rear Admiral John Kirby said on Monday a towed pinger locator and a Bluefin-21 robotic underwater vehicle have already left New York for Western Australia.
The equipment should arrive in the next day or two.
The pinger uses acoustic signals to track down the black box flight recorder, to a maximum depth of 6,000 metres.
The Bluefin is an unmanned device with sophisticated sonars that can scan the ocean's depths to detect underwater wreckage. It can produce high resolution imagery of the ocean floor at a depth of up to 4,500 metres and operate for up to 25 hours, according to the Pentagon.
It resembles a torpedo, is five metres long and can travel at a speed of up to 4.5 knots.
The Bluefin will be launched from an Australian commercial ship, Kirby said.
However, no debris field has been sighted yet, Kirby said.
'We don't have anything to indicate where the aircraft is, or even that it is down at the bottom of the ocean,' he told reporters at a Pentagon press conference.
They want the equipment in Australia IN CASE debris is located.
The Malaysia Airlines jet went missing on March with 239 people aboard.
