Flight MH370: Chinese and Australian ships draw blank
BBC ^ | March 29, 2014

A Chinese and an Australian ship have failed to identify remains from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight after their first day in a new search area.

The two ships retrieved objects from the Indian Ocean but none was confirmed to be from missing flight MH370, Australia's maritime authority said.

Chinese aircraft also flew over the area, north-east of the previous zone, and have spotted more objects.

<>IOW, they had an unknown.<>

An “unknown” flying in their airspace, over their territory, over their cities, over their military bases — and they didn’t send up any jets to check it out!!! Yep — they were really on the ball.

Anyway by March 12th they knew that that “unknown” was the 777 but were too embarrassed about their handling of it to admit it.

Remember that shortly after it turned around Vietnam ATC contacted Malaysian ATC to tell them — but Malaysian ATC never responded.

A handheld GPS computes frequency shifts to about the same precision day in and day out. I use the example of a handheld to illustrate that no unusual computing power is necessary — no basketball-court sized supercomputer, just specialized off-the-shelf hardware.

If people on the Maldives did actually see the plane it was flying under the radar.

Ima go with Paki

This gets more bizarre by the moment.

My gut tells me this plane went north and was either taken out by someone who if revealed would cause a political sh_t-storm or was landed at a ‘friendly’ haven. The southern route makes absolutely no sense unless the pilot was indeed ‘crazed’. So far it’s been speculation and educated guesses by everyone involved— Doppler, satellite, radar, and the rest not withstanding....IMHO
