THE Kiwi oil rig worker who claimed to have seen missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 burst into flames the morning it disappeared has been fired for his report to authorities.

New Zealander Mike McKay, who was working on an oil rig operating in the Gulf of Thailand, was so certain he saw the ill-fated flight on fire that he emailed his employers, urging them to forward the information on to authorities.

Batter Up, your posts never cease to amaze with their stupidity and you have the hide to call others "trolls".

ROFLMAO!!!!!

Angus is in on it no doubt.

The head of the Australian joint agency overseeing the search rejected the families' claims. "Nothing important is being concealed in any way," said Angus Houston, a former Air Chief Marshal of Australia. "My approach has always been to be as open as I could possibly be," he told USA Today.

Good news indeed:)

It seems that all the experts agree that the region is correct based on the Inmarsat data based on the aircraft's hand shakes (well I havn't heard of 1 who disagrees yet).



Cheers.

Search teams ARE looking in the right place for missing plane MH370, an independent report confirms

Sure :(

On Thursday Australian Transport Safety Bureau confirmed search area in southern Indian Ocean was correct
A week ago the ATSB announced 'pings' detected off WA coast were not from the missing plane
The ATSB said a study after the 2009 Air France crash concluded majority of lost aircrafts were found within 32km of last known position
Searchers will continue looking in the long flight path 'arc' determined by aviation company Inmarsat

Is mystery underwater sound the crash of Flight 370?

(CNN) -- Australian researchers released an audio recording Wednesday of an underwater sound that they say could possibly be related to the final moments of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.

It's a long shot, but researchers at Curtin University near Perth, Australia, have been studying records from underwater listening devices, including those meant to monitor for signs of underwater nuclear explosions, in an effort to help find the missing plane.

now a semantics feud is getting us off the point. More importantly I hope they kept a record of their positions on their voyage and it will help determine where to continue looking for the lost airliner.

Semantics aside, it has proven one thing...

"Cruisers Forum member “europaflyer” recreated a map by using Google Earth, showing the yacht’s position compared with the projected flight path for MH370. The map showed the aircraft would have passed the yacht astern from port to starboard, just as Katherine remembered it. “This is what convinced me… to file a report with the full track data for our voyage to the relevant authorities,” Katherine said. Katherine and Marc on Saturday filed the report with the Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC), the Australian organization tasked with co-ordinating the search for MH370 in the southern Indian Ocean, and followed up with a second email to the JACC yesterday."

My God?! They really haven't found the plane yet? Wasn't up to date with this topic but a plane like that can't just disappear?

Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: Search goes back to basics turning to the power of maths to solve the mystery

IT took two years and thousands of number-crunching hours. But statisticians eventually found Air France Flight 447. Can they do the same for MH370?

Search and rescue authorities had a rough idea where Air France Flight 447 went down with 228 passengers on board in 2009. It had been flying on a predetermined flight path, on schedule and on track.

Calling her a "British sailor" I'll forgive as a language problem.

She's from Liverpool and she was on a boat, where's the language problem?

When I saw "British sailor" I thought of;


In the US that is a sailor. Someone on a yacht is a yachtsman.

& the difference between a sailor & yachtswoman is?

Aren't both sailing on the high seas?

They sure do

I too took it to be referring to a sailor in the British navy until I was half way through reading the article. Very misleading intro.

If her claim is legitimate and can be verified I think we are back to the lithium ion battery explosion theory.
