Where from Aimee?
Still no findings of the plane?
Southern Indian ocean near Antarctica, the planes looking for the missing plane picked up an emergency distress beacon but they can't find it
On Saturday, a Chinese aircraft saw three items - two of which were red and white, the same colours that feature on the outside of the plane - and a Royal Australian Air Force plane spotted multiple objects in the search area, about 1,100 miles off Australia's western coast.
However, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said most of what had been recovered was "fishing equipment and other flotsam".
"My understanding from this morning is that there has been no discrete debris associated with the flight," Australian Navy Commodore Peter Leavy told reporters.
I haven't really been following this case all that closely but one thought has struck me and that is the extent that the human race has managed to pollute even the most inhospitable areas of this world
The amount of stuff that is out there is shocking
The last words from the cockpit of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane before it disappeared were actually 'Good night, Malaysian three seven zero,' not 'All right, good night' as Malaysian authorities had previously claimed.
It is not clear whether the sign off was said by Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah or his co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, but it was transmitted as the plane left Malaysian airspace and was about to enter that of Vietnam at 1.19am on March 8.
The cause of the discrepancy is unclear, but for three weeks it was reported that 'All right, good night' had been said by co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid two minutes before the planeâs transponder was shut down.
Today the Department of Civil Aviationin a short statement: 'We would like to confirm that the last conversation in the transcript between the air traffic controller and the cockpit is at 0119 (Malaysian Time) and is 'Good night Malaysian three seven zero.'
'The authorities are still doing forensic investigation to determine whether those last words from the cockpit were by the pilot or the co-pilot,' said the statement.
The statement added that acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein 'has instructed the investigating team to release the full transcript' which will be made available during the briefing to the next-of-kin of passengers on board the flight, which disappeared on March 8.
W.t.h? Its amazing they could get that wrong.
A transcript of the final conversations between the control tower and Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has been released.

Wow, makes you wonder what's going on. 
errrr translation from English to Malay perhaps?
why is everyone thinking the Malaysians have something to hide? just because they don't know the answers yet doesn't mean they are lying.. I find this very strange that people cannot understand that with the size of the ocean and the currents and drifts and severe weather in the search area means it is unlikely anything will be found any time soon, and if it is it will be thru shear luck and or meticulous ongoing searches hampered by ever changing current flow..,
I think it is great that the international community, with various different levels of sophisticated forms of IT equipment available to them, have worked together to help pinpoint a rough location for the airliner
Less conspiracy theories means less hysteria on top of natural grief of those waiting for news.... can't be healthy to get so worked up because people are whispering a load of theoretical uninformed ol tosh in their ears, adding to their pain.. 
News reports have it that a Chinese ship involved in the search have detected a pulse signal which they think might be the black box.
Just watching it now, it seems the Chinese have found this signal and tweeted the founding and now they are questioning how they found it.
Thats incredible if they've located it.
Some expert on Sky said only a black box would give off that signal but others seem suspicious of how the Chinese found it and tweeted it rather than report it to the authorities

I was just about to post the link to the story of the 'ping' but I've just read your post Aims 
Cheers, I can't do links
It's all so weird, as I said previously. I'm only gonna believe what's the truth, but it doesn't stop the 'rubbish' coming though
As long as its not another false lead... how many have there been.

The way the Chinese have dealt with this latest "find" sums up the whole search and investigation into this missing plane....bizarre.
It sure is, the Australians have now come out saying they have found a ping 340 miles away from the one the Chinese found, like you say blizzare
They should maybe take the stance of no information is better than the wrong information.
but then they get accused of holding info from relatives, and every tom dick or harry who also seem to think it is their business too, for nefarious reasons. . they can't win no matter what they do

No they gave the wrong information and that's why the families lost faith in what they were being told.

Did they or did they just give the info they had to hand at the time which wasn't that much back then? The impossible was being demanded of them by the grieving families who obviously wanted answers even tho none were available at the time. Not to mention translations from one language to another and yet others.. all can lead to misunderstandings too..
As this has gone on what info was given out at first has changed a lot and frequently as more information has been discovered thru lots of countries collaborating with their various detection equipment both satellite and software related, and them all finally settling on the current ocean area as the more or less agreed final destination of that plane..
also with the potential at first that it may have been a terrorist attack surely some information had to be held back and checked out before letting the media and rubberneckers get their hands on any info that could possibly alert people that may have been responsible and not on the plane.. All passengers have been cleared now as potential saboteurs.. but, if one or two had been and had connections left on the ground you have to hold some info back in order to catch those still around..
I dunno why but conspiracy theorist and people trying to stir up more trouble, where there may not even be any, really get to me. Partly for the untold damage they can do with their theories creating hysteria in some cases but, so long as they get their conspiracy 'fix' then sod the real victims..

I like a good read 
The co-pilot of missing flight MH370 made a call from his mobile phone as the aircraft flew low over the west coast of Malaysia.
Investigators have learned that the call was made from Fariq Abdul Hamid's mobile phone as the Boeing 777 flew low near the island of Penang, on the north of Malaysia's west coast.
The New Straits Times reported today that it was understood the aircraft, with 239 people on board, was flying low enough for the nearest telecommunications tower to pick up Fariq's signal.
The call ended abrupty, however it has been learned that contact was definitely established with a telecommunications sub-station in Penang state.
The paper said it had been unable to ascertain who Fariq was trying to call 'as sources chose not to divulge details of the investigation.'
It added: 'The telco's (telecommunications company's) tower established the call that he was trying to make.
'On why the call was cut off, it was likely because the aircraft was fast moving away from the tower and had not come under the coverage of the next one,' the paper said, quoting 'sources'.
The paper added that it had also been established that Fariq's last communication was through the WhatsApp Messenger app and that it had been made at about 11.30pm on March 7, shortly before he boarded the aircraft for the six-hour flight to Beijing.

Hmmm... interesting development.
Isn't it just
Apparently they're going to deploy a submarine today in the area where an oil slick has been discovered.
Mr C is convinced that the pilot has purposely landed the plane at sea in some sort of suicide mission.

I think the same .
MH370 families? Now search teams think they may be looking in the wrong place for debris amid fresh rumour it may have LANDED
- Sources with the search team say the aircraft may have landed somewhere, rather than crashed into the Indian Ocean as previously believed
- If no debris is found in the next few days the team may shift search focus
- Fits with alleged sightings of MH370 at the time of disappearance
Looks like they have no clue where it isit gets more farcical by the minute 
those poor families
Telegraph says the underwater search was 2/3 way though, but delayed by a cyclone? Also the drone sub doesn't quite go deep enough.
Reckon the Daily Mail are up to their shenanigans.
That statement a few weeks ago saying they were absolutely certain that the plane is at the bottom of the Indian Ocean and that everyone is dead has made them look like right ****wits.
Why don't they just be honest and admit that they haven't a bloody clue what happened to it or where it is?
I mean first of all they were looking in a completely different direction, west of the actual flight path, then they decided it did a U turn and headed for the secluded wilderness of the southern indian ocean. Where will they decide it is next? The north pole?
The words piss up and brewery spring to mind.
A group of 11 terrorists with links to Al Qaeda were yesterday being interrogated on whether they are behind the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
The suspects were arrested in the capital Kuala Lumpur and in the state of Kedah last week and are members of a violent new terror group said to be planning bomb attacks in Muslim countries.
The interrogations come after international investigators, including the FBI and MI6, asked for the militants, whose ages range from 22 to 55 and include students, odd-job workers, a young widow and business professionals, to be questioned intensively about Flight MH370.
A Malaysian Airlines aircraft takes off from Kuala Lumpur Airport: Questions have been raised after the airline refused to reveal details of 2.3 tonnes of cargo aboard missing jet MH370 that was not listed on its manifest
Nearly two months after the Beijing-bound plane vanished soon after take-off from Kuala Lumpur, no trace has been found despite a huge sea search costing hundreds of millions of pounds. It is thought to have crashed into the Indian Ocean with 239 people on board.
An officer with the Counter Terrorism Division of Malaysian Special Branch said yesterday the arrests had heightened suspicion that the flightâs disappearance may have been an act of terrorism.
