lol @ this guy...

primary motivation to find the plane

Can I have his job?

 

[JohnTinker]

This isn't giving any new info. We're all getting duped

 

[MThanded]

So is this just going to be a summary of the week's events.

 

[Livingskeletons]

So is this just going to be a summary of the situation?

Pretty much

 

[hiroshawn]

here it comes.

 

[Freaky Fred]

be patient guys

 

[supergiz]

Keep hitting refresh. The anticipation is killing me

 

[Pochacco]

be patient guys

Seriously.

 

[Agnostic]

This isn't giving any new info. We're all getting duped

So is this just going to be a summary of the week's events.

Maybe.

The press fluffer said there will be a more technical press conference at 5:30 pm which is 3 hours from now.

 

[Livingskeletons]

Damn phone whistle

 

[JohnTinker]

Oh my word this is like Bud Selig reading a newspaper

 

[bomma_man]

.

 

[Slayer-33]

Damn phone whistle

Galaxy phone whistle going off? Lol

 

[MThanded]

Movements are consistent with deliberate action. ACARS was deliberately turned off. Transponder was deliberately turned off.

Based on raw satellite data.

We can confirm that the aircraft that turned back was MH370.

FAA and NTSB and AAIB and Malaysian authorities concur.

 

[JohnTinker]

We can confirm ... aircraft on radar was the flight ... corroborated by others ... last known point 8:11am Malay time

1 of 2 corridors: Kazakhstan to Thailand, or Indonesia to Southern Indian Ocean. That narrows it down.

 

[EmptySpace]

This is like e3

what the fuck are you talking about? this is a tragic incident.

 

[crozier]

What does "deliberate action" even mean? Obviously the plane didn't turn itself around.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Shut that damn phone off. Christ

 

[MThanded]

Kazakhstan?

 

[JLG-]

That goddamn phone whistle is driving me crazy

 

[Livingskeletons]

Galaxy phone whistle going off? Lol

There is goes again!

 

[Trouble]

Kazakhstan? Holy shit.

 

[Incognito]

What the fuck?! Kazakhstan track or southern indian ocean track?

 

[bomma_man]

what the fuck are you talking about? this is a tragic incident.

True

 

[FlutterPuffs]

What does "deliberate action" even mean? Obviously the plane didn't turn itself around.

Deliberate 'human' action.

 

[Arcteryx]

Kazakhstan?

Nothing new, just the 2 areas they were looking at earlier.

 

[Mully]

Turkmenstan or the coast of southern India.

 

[criesofthepast]

Not confirming hijacking?

 

[MThanded]

So someone could have possibly landed this plane somewhere. wtf? This is nuts.

 

[2Crisis]

How do you let an unidentified aircraft just fly over your own country???

 

[trinest]

What does "deliberate action" even mean? Obviously the plane didn't turn itself around.

He doesn't want to say the word Hijack.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Calm down, he said the plane was in either one of two corridors, one going FROM Kazhakstan to Thailand. It has nothing to do with where the plane was or where it was going.

 

[BeerSnob]

Kazakhstan?

That's...really, really far away.

 

[EmptySpace]

How do you let an unidentified aircraft just fly over your own country???

in that part of the world, they don't detect and communicate with every entity out there. lack of technology, vast lands of nothingness, etc.

 

[Falk]

Holy fuck. Uploading and will type the transcript.

 

[MThanded]

So this is definitely not mechanical failure at this point. Multiple independent bodies believe there was deliberate human action.

Families getting no closure.

 

[hiroshawn]

Fuck the Prime Minister.

 

[Rubixcuba]

Fuck the Prime Minister.

What ?

 

[Sectorseven]

Can someone make a new map please. Having a little trouble visualizing this.

 

[LQX]

Wow, sounds like it was stolen.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

The time he gave was 7 hours after its disappearence

 

[CREMSteve]

I thought he handled it well. Covered everything that was confirmed and tried to calm the rampant speculation.

 

[Catchpenny]

We can confirm ... aircraft on radar was the flight ... corroborated by others ... last known point 8:11am Malay time

1 of 2 corridors: Kazakhstan to Thailand, or Indonesia to Southern Indian Ocean. That narrows it down.

It was still pinging the satellite 7 hours after last contact? Wow.

I thought he handled it well. Covered everything that was confirmed and tried to calm the rampant speculation.

Agreed.

 

[KHarvey16]

Deliberate human action can be in response to mechanical failure. That is why they are being careful not to jump to a conclusion about hijacking.

 

[Incognito]

Shorter malaysian pm: the plane is somewhere in between the north and south poles, but def not in south china sea!

 

[MThanded]

The time he gave was 7 hours after its disappearence

Did it even have enough fuel for that?

 

[CREMSteve]

Plane still flying 7 hours after it went missing.
They know the direction it was headed.
Now all they need to do is the math based on the fuel it was carrying, and pinpointing a search radius should be relatively straightforward.

 

[trinest]

Can someone make a new map please. Having a little trouble visualizing this.

Basically it flew west out of the country and could of went either north towards India or south towards Australia.

Basically information we already knew based on were America started looking.

 

[Pochacco]

Good press conference.
Obviously, this situation is developing by the hour. There's been too much speculation. Too much misinformation.
Smart of them to get the PM to step up and set the record straight on where they're at right now, even if they're still very much in the dark...

 

[hiroshawn]

What ?

He's a bitch. Did you watch the press conference? Shame on him.
