Recorder pings are different from what you are referring to.
Either I wasn’t clear or you’re misreading me:
The Recorder pings, if that’s what they really detected (the Chinese), based on the coordinates provided, are hundreds of kilometers from the plotted location of the last Inmarsat ping at 8:11 on ‘the day-of’...
I was being critical of the data provided to-date, if color charts & graphics suffice as ‘data’...assuming, of course, that the location turns out to be the planes resting spot.
So they’ll either come up with a clever explanation for the difference (another graphic) or...who knows...maybe aliens moved the damned plane. /s
