Wow, late to this thread, i missed it being created and i have been wondering why nothing was happening on the last one!

A busy few days at work have meant i missed a big chunk, although i see there isnt much more news, what about these latest sightings, have they actually recovered anything?

Not recovered but several planes have seen 11 objects and the chinese ship should be there on saturday (which it already is down there, I think??)

This is a good graphic about the 'needle in a haystack' thing but I'm not sure when it was created i.e. when the search area was still both corridors, just the Southern corridor etc

No nothing recovered, and unless something happens v soon I'm with our captain pilot and suspecting the relatives will never know anything for sure.

Love the picture backinthebox!

i've just checked again and it's reported as an over 600mile shift in search area - just clarifying as someone on here said it was only 60miles i believe yesterday.

that sounds like rather a large difference to the inmarsat analysis.

i can well understand that the relatives must feel incredulous of the fact that the analysis that the announcement that the passengers must be dead with such assertion was based on an analysis that only a couple of days later appears wrong.

Malaysian Officials now saying they are hoping there are survivors I think this is a mess and so cruel. No wonder people are suspicious.

Good grief, how can they now be saying they are hoping against hope to find survivors. 3 days ago it was a forgone conclusion they had all perished & now another area & this news. They are stark raving bonkers! Feel head will be rolling soon in the Malaysian government

I feel so sorry for the relatives of the crew and passengers. This must be absolute torture for them.

And yes, it's hardly surprising people are suspicious about what really has happened to the plane.

I give up. We are all bring sent on a wild goose chase. They will never find that plane. And we will never know what happened.

Do you have a link please?

i think it is an absolute wild goose chase to the point that it feels deliberate - i do feel this has been an ongoing process of disinformation and distraction. i do not know why or who is responsible or what is being hidden but it is utterly clear to me, and to the relatives it seems, that something is going on.

Goodness this is getting more bizarre by the day. Nobody seems to have a clue where to look and what happened, for the families it must be absolute torture.
I just hope there is closure soon for them

honey that is how I feel. Someone alive knows what happened to that plane and those passengers and isn't telling the public.

First plane back didn't see anything - bbc.

I agree it all seems bizarre with the media reporting objects being seen, again and again!!! All red herrings to keep the hungry media and public happy me thinks.

Loopy, did you want the link about the Malaysian transport minister? If so, it's included in the article below & he was being interviewed on tv so there'll be a video link somewhere too. Apologies if this isn't the link you were after!

Yes, thank you

Welcome!

"that sounds like rather a large difference to the inmarsat analysis."

As I understand it, all that's been published about Inmarsat is arc position and direction. Anywhere south of the last known radar position and on the arc for the last handshake, (NOT the time the plane's engines went off, which might be up to an hour later) is still consistent, I believe. Also, there will have been drift from wherever the plane did come down, if at sea.

My heart sank at hearing what the Malaysian transport minister said, as well. It sounded very irresponsible after the Prime Ministers statement which did, at least, sound forceful and final.

''Malaysian Officials now saying they are hoping there are survivors I think this is a mess and so cruel. No wonder people are suspicious.''

Sky news have just shown that clip. How on earth after 3 weeks can he say that!

"No matter how remote the search, I am always hoping against hope that we will find survivors," Mr Hishammuddin told the latest news conference following a meeting with the families on Saturday.

• that doesn't sound hugely irresponsible but I didn't watch the link.

However Mr Hishimmuddin said investigators who had looked at the equipment had turned up no new information.

"There is nothing sinister from the simulators but of course that will have to be confirmed by the chief of police,'' he said.

• regarding the simulators.

Both from the BBC.

I don't see how expressing 'hope against hope' that survivors may be found is cruel or irresponsible. Surely we all hold that feeling in our hearts, no matter how unlikely we know it to be?

I can't believe he said that… he has blown whatever credibility the Malaysians had left..
