Is it news that the Malay PM said the last INMARSAT ping was at 8:11 AM “local time” (meaning Malaysia?) 2 possible routes: the Stans & the southern Indian Ocean. I hadn’t read that the Uighurs had claimed to be responsible.
just a heads up...
Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was steered off course by someone on the plane, was airborne for more than seven hours, and may have traveled as far as Kazakhstan, the prime minster of Malaysia confirmed at a news conference today.
Prime Minister Najib Razak said that although the movements were consistent with deliberate acts, he did not confirm that the plane was hijacked.
“The search for NH 370 has entered a new phase,” he said.
He said the last confirmed communication between the plane and satellite was at 8:11 a.m. Malaysian time. He said search efforts have now focused on two corridors which include Kazakhstan, Indonesia and the Indian Ocean.
