“….a source says satellites continued to receive pings from the plane’s communication addressing and reporting system throughout the night.”-Frank Langfitt, National Public Radio
“Routine, automated signals were registered on the Inmarsat network from Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 during its flight from Kuala Lumpur.”–Inmarsat statement
For awhile main streamer news media have been reporting the mysterious pings as “radar pings”, but could they have been satellite pings? This would explain the confusion with Malaysian officials who insisted they lost radar contact supposedly hours before the satellites lost ping contact: “As is standard procedure, the investigation team will not publicly release information until it has been properly verified and corroborated with the relevant authorities. Nor do we want to be drawn into specific remarks that unnamed officials have reportedly made the media.”-Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, Malaysian Defence Minister and acting Transportation Minister
Hussein is getting tired of the BS about engine data coming from the U.S. news media: “Yesterday, we rejected a media report in which unnamed officials said that engine data showed the plane had kept flying for hours after last contact. We checked with Boeing and Rolls Royce, who said the reports were not true. Today, Rolls Royce released a statement saying, and I quote, ‘Rolls Royce continues to provide its full support to the authorities and Malaysia Airlines. Rolls Royce concurs with the statement made on Thursday 13th March by Malaysia s Transport Minister regarding engine health monitoring data received from the aircraft.’“
Hussein explained the sighting of two more oil slicks: “Yesterday, authorities sighted two oil slicks in the South China Sea, 60 nautical miles south of the last point of contact with MH370. The first slick was investigated and analysed and found to contain tiny traces of jet fuel. No debris was found in the vicinity. We do not believe the slick is linked to MH370. Samples from the second slick were investigated and analyzed and did not contain jet fuel.”
The Indian Navy is searching more than 500 islands across the archipelago of Andaman and Nicobar: “This operation is like finding a needle in a haystack.”-Harmeet Singh, Indian Armed Forces
Scientist with the University of Science and Technology of China report hat there was a “seafloor event” 116km (72 miles) from the last known position of MH370/CZ748. The area is considered “non-seismic”, meaning there shouldn’t be any earthquakes. However, the small quake was detected more than one hour after airline officials lost contact with the plane.
There are reports of a Facebook page that claims MH370/CZ748 was found. It even shows a boat approaching a crashed plane. Reports say when you click on it your computer gets hit with malware. The pic is of a plane that went into the ocean after overrunning the runway in Bali, last year.
