BREAKING: US General Says if Missing MH370 Crashed It Would Have Sent Out a Signal
But it did NOT.
“If this had been a violent crash the emergency locator transmitters would have been activated which automatically notifies a satellite constellation TSARSAT, a satellite system that looks for emergency transmissions on certain frequencies.
So, if it were a violent crash, either on land or at sea we would have had a couple pings at least even at sea on the ELTs.
So, whatever happened, it may not have been violent, it may have been a soft landing in the water which is a little bit unlikely because of where in the ocean they’re looking, which is down southwest of Australia. But, if it were to have been landed on an airfield, on terra firma, then that would explain why there was no ELT.

Australia checking 2 objects in search for plane
"
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -- Four military search planes were dispatched Thursday to determine whether two large objects bobbing in a remote part of the Indian Ocean are debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight.
One of the objects spotted by satellite imagery was 24 meters (almost 80 feet) in length and the other was 5 meters (15 feet). There could be other objects in the area, a four-hour flight from Australia's southwestern coast, said John Young, manager of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority's emergency response division.
"This is a lead, it's probably the best lead we have right now," Young said. He cautioned that the objects could be seaborne debris along a shipping route where containers can fall off cargo vessels, although the larger object is longer than a container.
Young told a news conference in Canberra, Australia's capital, that planes had been sent to the area about 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) southwest of Perth to check on the objects. He said satellite images "do not always turn out to be related to the search even if they look good, so we will hold our views on that until they are sighted close-up."
MISSING MH370: Phone number is a US number, not China
BEIJING: The Malaysia Airlines has clarified that a cell phone number which allegedly belonged to a family member of a passenger of MH370 is an American number, not from China.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MAS's subsidiary Firefly Ignatious Ong Ming Choy said the number was identified to be an American cell-phone number by a telecommunication company authorised by MAS.
Earlier, a family member of the affected passenger claimed that he had received a diverted call from a number after the flight went missing, and urged MAS to investigate the source of the number, hence to track down the whereabouts of the plane.
He then handed the number to Ong for further investigation during a briefing earlier.
Rumours on the flight MH370 are circulating on the internet which have ignited hope for the affected passengers' families. -- BERNAMA
