Really hard to confirm one way or the other as to whether that is part of the aircraft. It's shape doesn't look dissimilar and its colour matches that of the Malaysia livery - but without a higher resolution photograph it is impossible to tell.
The quality of that satellite picture for 2014 is terrible.
Anyway to figure out where that would be on the interactive map of the area? if at all..

I'm going to wager a good amount of money that the satellite that took that photo wasnt launched in 2014.

Thought I'd also mention that the satellite is Chinese.
Really curious how this is going to turn out :S

Why? Seriously what are people gonna do, look at the high resolution water?
I'm now hearing that, based on the information they have, it's believed that the plane continued flying for 4-5 hours after it disappeared from radar. So yeah. GFL finding it if that's true.

[quote]U.S. investigators suspect that Malaysia Airlines 3786.KU -2.04% Flight 370 stayed in the air for about four hours past the time it reached its last confirmed location, according to two people familiar with the details, raising the possibility that the plane could have flown on for hundreds of additional miles under conditions that remain murky.[/quote]
[quote]A total flight time of five hours after departing Kuala Lumpur means the Boeing 777 could have continued for an additional distance of about 2,200 nautical miles, reaching points as far as the Indian Ocean, the border of Pakistan or even the Arabian Sea, based on the jet's cruising speed.[/quote]
[QUOTE=Conspirator;44220227]Why? Seriously what are people gonna do, look at the high resolution water?[/QUOTE]
They probably don't want to reveal the extent of their satellite technology to the world. Probably because it's likely borrowed technology.

Well yea. Just because the transponder stops working doesnt mean the plane did.
[QUOTE=OvB;44220662]Holy shit it could be literally [I]anywhere[/I] if this is the case.[/QUOTE]
If this is true, it means we're either never going to find wreckage save for satellites or that it was hijacked and flown to Pakistan.
Okay. Maybe not Pakistan specifically. But Pakistan has the history behind it.
Here's a fucking gem.
[quote]At one briefing, according to this person, officials were told investigators are actively pursuing the notion that the plane was diverted "with the intention of using it later for another purpose."[/quote]
[QUOTE=Code3Response;44220697]Well yea. Just because the transponder stops working doesnt mean the plane did.[/QUOTE]
Absolutely. But if the transponder and radio both had faults, the aircrew would be notified about it at once. Even if they somehow missed this warning, their calls over the radio not being answered would be an instant giveaway that something is amiss. If an aircrew experiences a fault like this - absolute and total loss of contact with any ATCU - I have no idea of the procedure to cover it.. Going off other procedures I am verse in, I would imagine the aircraft continue flying on its flight path. I certainly would if I were them - at least air traffic control have some idea of where you are going in that situation and could still clear traffic out of your way..

Not beyond the realm of possibility - at this point literally anything goes.
[editline]13th March 2014[/editline]
Almost anything.
Still, why would people hijack a plane like that and make no demands or have anyone claim responsbility?
I think it just crashed somewhere, in sea most likely.
The pilots last words make me think he had something to do with it for some reason.

[QUOTE=Gustafa;44221644]The pilots last words make me think he had something to do with it for some reason.[/QUOTE]
I find it odd he didn't echo back the instruction - normally the ATCU will issue the aircrew with an instruction and they will acknowledge full receipt by echoing it back. An example (relevant to this event):
(Speedbird One is an aircraft preparing to land. Heathrow Director (the radar controller) is handing the aircraft off to his colleague, Heathrow Tower, to give him his landing clearance and further control.)
[quote]Speedbird One, continue approach and contact Heathrow Tower now on 118.5, goodnight.[/quote]
[quote]Heathrow Director, switching to Heathrow Tower on 118.5, goodnight, Speedbird One.[/quote]
So Speedbird One echoes back the instruction to contact Heathrow Tower along with his callsign. He doesn't [I]need[/I] to echo back the "continue approach" because he's already been cleared to approach - it isn't an instruction, it's an assumption by both the tower and the radar controller that's what he is going to do. In areas where it the radio is extremely busy and there are high traffic volumes, communications are abbreviated by the aircrew to minimize time on the radio. In other areas, full instruction sets are echoed back. Switching to the tower frequency is the next critical phase of the flight so it's echoed back to let the radar controller know he has received it and to reaffirm the aircraft he will be switching to the right frequency.
What strikes me as odd is that apparently, the Malaysian flight just said "All right, roger." when told to change frequency (the exact telephony by both the ATCU and the aircraft are not known so it might not be a radio handoff - but it should be). He didn't echo back. I know radio telephony practices are different all over the world, but I would assume that all pilots echo back. They certainly do in the UK and Europe..

The search radius basically exploded in size.
We might find it tomorrow, or months from now.
[QUOTE=Gustafa;44221644]The pilots last words make me think he had something to do with it for some reason.[/QUOTE]
It's obvious, the seasoned pilot invited one of those hot women and accidentally creamed all over the controls which destroyed the autopilot as well as everything else that was electronic. The first officer was also busy with the other 9 girls they had as 'crew' and accidentally pushed the control column with a fatal result.

A guy made a [URL="http://www.straitstimes.com/the-big-story/missing-mas-plane/story/students-theory-mas-mh370-goes-viral-20140312"]research[/URL], it could be one of the possibilities.
This is so mysterious and so sad. I've been following this news for 6 days straight, and also updating it on my official local social media community. And there are so many speculations. Hopefully my gov can find the missing aircraft in one piece. My thoughts and prayers are with the next-of-kin.
But wait
Is there a small chance that they somehow managed to fuck up radio transmissions and stopped being directed?
Still, odd, I assume they would have GPS to ubicate.
[QUOTE]From this, he theorised that MH370 could have experienced the same issue, leading to the failure of satellite-based communications as well as to a slow decompression of the plane which left passengers unconscious and pilots disoriented. "If the decompression was slow enough, it’s possible the pilots did not realise to put on oxygen masks until it was too late," he wrote. [/QUOTE]
Holy fucking crap.
I was just thinking before reading this about that plane that had a oxygen canistar explode and start a fire, eventually knocking out everybody aboart it.
But I couldn't piece it together with this as we would know from the ATC that there was a fire aboard the plane.
If this is case, maybe they passed out without communicating, but wouldn't it be somehow a slow process which you would notice (Low pressure, dizziness?) and therefore communicate?

That would mean that they've landed the plane somewhere, and nobody has noticed it for 6 days.
