Last known position of MH370 based on satellite data according to Malaysian authorities. Let's
hope it was on the northern red line and they have landed safely somewhere. Based on the northern arc, it's a bit out there, but could this turn out to be linked to the current crisis over Ukraine and the Crimea, some sort of hostage leverage to force Russia's hand, or a 911 style attack on Moscow ?

And based on the Southern Arc, about the only place it could have landed would be Diego Garcia - but the Americans would have said so - wouldn't they?

The press conference this afternoon only indicated that Malaysia Airlines will have nothing to do with this anymore, so does the government. They don't have anything to keep hiding and things progressed much quicker than they expected, especially the Ping to the satellite. It's the time for the main actors on the stage.
This is a joint operation of US and China, there were Jammer involved. The operation is about possible small nuclear device on board, of course have been offloaded before the flight took off. The nuclear thing is targeting Beijing, part of the plan of the coup to destablise the current government. The aircraft did landed on Diego Garcia, unclear if it is still there or not. The Chinese passengers has already back in China in somewhere, highly likely on Hainan Island. |

Whacky theory. But, as things stand, anything is possible.

Hi Scott C
Could you please edit your post, and perhaps send it again in a more readable form. Cheers Bob C |

Is this engine data ping thing right?
I was not aware of the engine data satellite comms/pinging independent of ACARS and transponder - can anyone on here who knows what they're talking about explain how this works, assuming the basic proposition is accurate?

Philip, From what I understand, the engine performance monitoring is transmitted via ACARS, using radio or satellite communications. The data can also be stored and transmitted when coms are available - I have seen several examples where complete tracks from LAX to SYD have been downloaded via ACARS when the aircraft is 250nm out of Sydney. ACARS engine status reporting is done independent of the Tech Crew, and ACARS is not related to the Transponder at all. The CDU can be used by the pilots to send/receive other information via ACARS, like weather, gate numbers requests etc. Other systems can interface to ACARS to send messages.
I am not sure if the complete ACARS system can be shutdown by the pilots (maybe someone else can answer that one). Some ACARS examples from this morning ...

I wonder what Uncle Sam knows, or what they saw and maybe what they can currently see and what they can hear?
