Beijing-bound MAS plane carrying 239 people missing as of 20 mins ago.

You have got to ask yourself why they would sit on it for days, especailly as they have expended resources looking for the plane too.

They couldn't decide if they would sell for much on EBay. Were they not complaining about other nations work.

I can seem to tell what area we are searching on Tomnod for the 9th...I believe I only found a ship....

You did way better than myself, I only saw clouds.


I just want to say that I think it's so awesome when people come together for a good cause and have only good intentions. So if no one has said it to you today or even for awhile - you are appreciated

Yes the 2### is the same series and the ER just stands for Extended Range, they are just slightly different mods on the same basic airframe of the same diemensions, there is a bigger version called the 300 series but again there are different versions of that aswel.

It appears that nobody can count on China to release any information until they have thoroughly considered all the possible implications of each disclosure.

While that may make sense to them, that has to be frustrating for their partners involved in the search.

Yeah that must be it

Why do you think they are delaying disclosures?

Yes China was complaining. They have 138 passengers and Malaysia would not relinquish control of the search to anyone, even though there is apparently an international treaty to do so.

But you have to be realistic. China and Malaysia are not in good standing even before this event and they(China) have to keep their secrets secret. Not just from Malaysia but the rest of the world. In China's eyes releasing this imagery may be putting 1.3 billion citizens in danger.

I know that sounds cold-blooded, but it makes sense.

in perspective.
One thing is to have the pictures
and one thing is to find a 60 feet object.
that takes three days it took.

"Actually they already found at 6:50p yesterday but it was already dark so they sent an aircraft to the place but they can't see anything. So today they continue the search and rescue then they have found some still in the plane with the life jacket. I got the news from TDM Bantua (? inaudible) that they are making arrangments for the bodies... (inaudible / uncertain) ... bring it here because they have found the swimmer / floating(?) at Pulau Perak and a lot of life jackets"

Ok just read this...

The Chinese agency that published the satellite pictures actually released them Wednesday night local time. In what appears to be something of a big miss, until CNN and the BBC reported the pictures in the past hour, they went pretty much un-noticed.

Goes on to say...

The Chinese agency that published the satellite pictures actually released them Wednesday night local time. In what appears to be something of a big miss, until CNN and the BBC reported the pictures in the past hour, they went pretty much un-noticed. But the American arm of the Chinese-funded English-language broadcaster, CCTV, tweeted the pictures seven hours ago. The Twitter account of CCTV America, at the time of writing, has 8,226 followers.

So if this is true, perhaps too much information out there, as a consequence some of it got lost.

That said, it still hung around for a couple of days before being picked up.

Then again, this just up on the Gaurdian site...

This is going to sound crazy but, from the outset, th official Chinese government stated something to the effect that it would be good for geo-political relations to team up with other countries in the sea in that area. I assume because that territory has historically been a point of contention.
(Propaganda)

The point behind so that some backroom negotiations, err, demands transpire between China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and possibly even the Philippines.

There is no mention of even finding the plane via the Chinese government (only media outlet):

In my mind, that's just wrong to do when we are talking about possible lost lives and families. =-( [
