NEW !!! Suspected life raft found !!!
Something look like this

Given that all the debris thus far has turned out to be nothing related to the airliner, it would be prudent to withhold any suspect debris related posts until you are beyond any doubt.

seaplane can land onto the sea water surface ... right ?
why they dont land, stay or color marking ?

instead of leave it and restart to seek next day ?

NEW !!! Suspected life raft found !!!

Something look like this

I thought one of the An26s made a photo. If it was a seaplane, hm...you are right...why didn´t it land and collect the item?

a Vietnam and a Singapore patrol planes spotted 1 or 2 objects on the water surface, location: 177km off Tho Chu island. Two Vietnamese vessels are on the way.

it is not you to decide...

it is an multinational search and rescue effort. Every news or discovery has to be made public to others immediately, without delay.

as per media reports, Chinese government has asked Vietnam to intensify the search. Now Vietnam has decided to expand the search further to the West and runs operation around the clock.

 

[Viet]

this is the Italian passport and the holder Luigi Maraldi. the passport was stolen and used by one of the suspects.

it is an mulitnational search and rescue effort. Every news or discovery has to be made public to others immediately, without delay

What value have the possible debris posts brought to this thread? Non whatsoever.

What value have the possible debris posts brought to this thread? Non whatsoever.

a civil plane was suspected to crash into the ocean, and you ask what purpose of news about oil slick and debris?
if you have any news, pls post here, otherwise I suggest you keep silent or go other threads.

to date, most information about the missing plane are coming either from Vietnam or Germany.
is there information coming from Malaysia?

Anyway FBI is now involved. Malaysian authority is a mess.

 

[imiakhtar]

is there information coming from Malaysia?

Well they've wisened up and shut their traps after earlier gaffs unlike others.

Given the evaporation rate and the high 20C/mid 30C temperatures of South East Asia, Kerosene will evaporate very quickly and is unlikely to leave a noticeable surface trace.

If the slick is oil, it's probably a small leak from a local refinery or shipping vessels in the region.

Well they've wisened up and shut their traps after earlier gaffs unlike others.

If Malaysia told the international press at a conference held by the Department of Civil Aviation in Kuala Lumpur that they know nothing. Isn´t it too litle, do you think so?

Malaysia officials said those Two fake passagers (Italy and Austria false passports) r not Chinese, they r from other Asian nations. Malaysia has sent fake passagers video to intelligence department.

MISSING MH370: Don't spread unverified news, says Hishammuddin - Latest - New Straits Times

MISSING MH370: Don't spread unverified news, says Hishammuddin

By ADRIAN LAI

SEPANG: Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hussein has cautioned the people not to spread unverified news of the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.
He said the dissemination of unconfirmed rumours would not only hamper investigations, but also cause distress to family members of the victims.

He also said he met with the Chinese delegation after it arrived in the country yesterday to assist in SAR operations.

"Besides that, they will also help in the investigations on the two passengers who had boarded the plane using stolen passports," he said.

He added that the Chinese taskforce would also assist the victims' family members.

Meanwhile, Department of Civil Aviation director-general Datuk Azharuddin Abdul Rahman confirmed reports of an "inverted life craft" that was spotted some 140km away from Tho Chu island in Vietnam.

"We have despatched a team to investigate the sighting," he said, adding that all reported sightings of the plane were unconfirmed.

Azharuddin also said representatives from plane-making company Boeing was on site to provide assistance to the SAR efforts.

Hishamuddin, meanwhile, said the investigating teams were also evaluating the mental condition of the jetliner's crew to look into claims that a "pilot suicide" was committed.

Just moments later, there were reports stating that one of the two suspects using stolen passports - a non-Malaysian - had been identified.

The Malaysian Inspector General of Police had said both individuals entered country illegally.

Look likes there are no entry record. I guess immigration do not check those thing for departure. Or they are assumed to be multiple state passport holder?

I am not talking bout finding the whole plane or large parts of debris...something should have been found till now, small pieces of debris...in case of mid-air disintegration, the debris would have been spread over large parts of the sea, some would have been found by now.

And as far as AF447 goes, some parts of wreckage were found by June 2, seats, some life rafts, and other pieces of debris. Oil was also seen spread across the Oceanic surface.

Secondly, the Ocean provided a much more deeper area to search in.

BTW, does anybody know if this aircraft had ACARS capability?

well, to be fair, they do found the oil slick from jet fuel just the second day, still that does not provide any solution to anything. They still need to look at the right quadron to find the planes

Debris field can be hard to locate time to time, especially depends on how much effort put in.

That 777 did have ACARS system on board, but if the electricity is cut on lost contact (Most likely event) the ACARS will not send anymore

 

[imiakhtar]

If Malaysia told the international press at a conference held by the Department of Civil Aviation in Kuala Lumpur that they know nothing.

Well honesty is the best policy.

Isn´t it too litle, do you think so?

I'd rather have no information than wrong or misleading information.
