And possibly as far away as Kazakhstan? Is that what he said?

Yep the stan's and possibly south to the Indian Ocean.

Yes, near turkey. Plenty of airfields to hide a plane up there.

 

[Ansett]

Yes either Kazakstan near turkey or into the indan ocean

That feed cut in and out for me ... what did they say in essence?

That feed cut in and out for me ... what did they say in essence?

Two possible directions, both a long way from home, current search being stood down as new areas assessed.

Unbelievable press conference. ...so where is the plane now? At the bottom of ocean or at some remote, hidden runway eg Kazakhstan. ..my thoughts return to the families!

 

[psi999]

Turkey / Kazakhstan just wow!

 

[pippy]

This is an unprecedented event. At first I, along with everyone else it seems, just couldn't understand why they couldn't find the plane, they must be useless. Of course now it seems they were never going to find the plane when they "should" have. What a mystery. What a tragedy.

Which new underlying data were they referring to suggesting the new course?

They are now focussing on two new corridors based on raw satellite data. A northern corridor stretching from Kazacstan and Turkmenistan towards Turkey. And a southern corridor stretching from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean.

What a mystery. What a tragedy.

Although funnily enough this actually increases the chances of a non-tragic outcome for those on board

Kind of ironic that someone did mention the stans earlier in this post!

Before they landed (if they actually landed), however after is anyone's guess what happened after which could be even more tragic.

 

[jneufeld]

It sounds like that they have been able to corroborate primary radar data with satellite data to pinpoint the aircraft on this new course.

I dont think so, that plane went to FL450 for a reason, I am betting pressurisation was off.

 

[cirqueboy]

Holy Toledo! This just gets more curious by the day. Anyone have a link to the latest press conference? Just missed it and would love to see it.

 

[Warks]

I tried watching on ABC24 but it just pixellates all the time like all the digital ABC channels. Does anyone else get this? Every other channel is fine except the four ABC channels. Been like this for weeks.


More speculation to add to the speculation it seems.

I don't like that thought at all....there are really only 2 people on board the plane who had the knowledge to divert the plane, turn transponders off etc...

Sorry I don't follow, any chance of a layman's translation?

Are you sure of that, do you have the CVs of all the passengers?
