Who was it that said the plane lost altitude right before it went off radar?
Someone said that, but I cannot find it. I am in too much pain now to look anymore... I have to take a break.

Looks like China is giving them a red herring so no one will look in their soil.

Is this true or a hoax?
........ the Chinese government “neither authorises nor endorses this behaviour, which is now under investigation.”
Late yesterday, China’s State Administration for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence (SASTIND) released three pictures showing large floating objects in the South China Sea, which was suspected to be from the missing MH370 aircraft.

The plane is in Pakistan.

Did you correct yourself in your followup post? As far as I know he never said it, and in your next post you said he said there was "a plane", yes he said it was a plane, but didn't say it was the missing MH370.

I would be more lenient, but it's not the media that are making most of the mistakes. Officials have made statements of fact about certain things. The most obvious are the races of the people, changing from Asian to black to Iranian, once pictures were released. Another big one was saying military radar picked up the flight hundreds of miles away and then the same official saying he never said that.
The statement on the airline's site has never changed. I've read them all as they are released and they all still say what they said when they were first posted.
There was also the bit about passengers showing up and having to pull their luggage as they didn't get on the plane. That changed to they never said that to the passengers didn't ever show.
The media is doing a bad job, but you haven't shown where officials have changed their story, especially not the official statements by the airline.
The issue isn't that they are taking different routes as information changes, it's that they are making factual statements and then lying about having said those statements, or ignoring the past statements altogether.
Thank you for saying this. Some people, including you, said the military changed their story....they didn't. You're right they saw "a plane", it was the media who misreported that the plane was MH370. But there is bad reporting like this story:

Much of that is speculation as well as being built off false or unconfirmed data...
The military never saw MH370 on radar, but simply a plane. I covered in a previous post that other civilian flights were at the locations mentioned by the military at the same times.
Flying above or below, maybe they knew where the radar stations are and just stayed out of range.

How would it get across India with no-one noticing it on Radar?

How would it get across India with no-one noticing it on Radar?
Citing unnamed US aviation investigators and security officials, the US daily reported that the Beijing-bound jumbo jet carrying 239 passengers had continued flying for a total of five hours based on data obtained from the 777-200 plane’s maker, Boeing Co.
WSJ reported that the data was automatically downloaded and sent to the ground from the plane’s engines as part of a routine maintenance and monitoring programme.
It is unclear if Rolls Royce is capable of receiving such transmissions independently of MAS.
Yesterday, the Bloomberg news service cited a source as saying that MAS opted out of a Boeing service to collect real-time performance data from jets like the 777-200ER used by MH370 for use in planning maintenance.
The source said MAS now collated such data itself.
A senior Malaysia Airlines official told Reuters that no such data existed, while a second official said he was unaware of it. A spokeswoman for engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce had no immediate comment.
Malaysia Airlines has said previously that the Rolls-Royce Trent engines stopped transmitting monitoring signals when contact with the plane was lost.
WSJ reported that the data was automatically downloaded and sent to the ground...

A. Something catastrophic happened immediately and without warning (it blew up, it had sudden massive mechanical & radio failure, it was teleported to another planet by aliens, it got sucked into a wormhole) something that didn't give the crew time to react at all.
B. There was a well planned and executed takeover of the plane giving the crew zero time or opportunity to use the radio...possibly members of the flight crew were actively involved.
