There's a lot of images to sift through. There's a reason a Chinese firm is crowd sourcing analysis of satellite images.

Not to mention the proverbial needle in a haystack.

Probably turn out to be more like finding a haystack in a needle.

I answered that one on page 5. Plus as was said, there is a shit load of images to go through.

AP is now reporting that the Malaysian AF and Navy searched the site detailed in the Chinese sat. images. But no jet debris.

Yeah should have been more small debris in with the larger pieces if it was the jet. Those pictures could have been garbage, just like the other stuff they found the first day.
Literally tons of debris from airliners will float along with personal gear people bring onboard. Very odd that something hasn't started washing up on a shoreline as well.
Anyone familiar with the land terain in the area. Maybe crashed in some mountain range......still doesn't answer why the ELT hasn't been detected though.

This is a good article that describes how many ways they are able to track flights.

How could Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 go off the radar?

Where the hell is this aircraft!?

[Regina]

This just gets weirder by the day................


The Wall Street Journal, meanwhile, reported that U.S. investigators suspect the plane flew on for four hours once it lost contact with air traffic controllers, based on data from the plane's engines that are automatically downloaded and transmitted to the ground as part of routine maintenance programs.

The report raises questions as to why the Boeing 777 would have been flying without contact, and if anyone would have been in control during that time. U.S. counterterrorism officials are considering whether a pilot or someone else on board intentionally disabled the jetliner's transponders to avoid detection and divert it, the report said.

Maybe, the Chinese spent that time obscuring characteristics of their spy satellite data ... such as the resolution.

That is just creepy

[Jabberwalker]

Who the hell wants an airplane full of Chinese tourists, anyway?

[llama66]

North Korea?

[ShepherdsDog]

They are saying those Chinese sat images were released by mistake

[commanderkai]

This story is just strange...and I feel incredible sympathy for the relatives of those on that plane. I mean, their agony is being dragged on as they just can't find the plane and confirm it crashed.

More confusion:

KUALA LUMPUR/HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam (Reuters) - Malaysian authorities said on Thursday there was no evidence that a jetliner missing for almost six days flew for hours after losing contact with air traffic controllers and continued to transmit technical data.
The Wall Street Journal said that U.S. aviation investigators and national security officials believed the Boeing 777 flew for a total of five hours, based on data automatically downloaded and sent to the ground from its Rolls-Royce Trent engines as part of a standard monitoring program. (http://r.reuters.com/ruw57v)
"Those reports are inaccurate," Malaysian Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein told a news conference. "As far as both Rolls-Royce and Boeing are concerned, those reports are inaccurate. The last (data) transmission from the aircraft was at 01:07 a.m.(local time) which indicated that everything was normal."
Boeing and Rolls-Royce have yet to comment.

This sort of thing has people wondering what's going on. The satellite images of debris that were taken right over the area that would have initially been searched but were not released for days, then the idea that the plane flew hundreds of kilometers in the opposite direction, based apparently, on very scant evidence, where the military spokesman was contradicted by the govt, and so on.
