The pinger kept going until about 8:10 a.m. was the last info they gave on that. That's how they came up with these orange arcs on their map. I wonder how accurate these orange arcs really are. If the Maldives sighting is bona find, then not very accurate.

If the satellite pings occurred every hour, and the last ping was at 8:11 a.m. KL time, and these Maldives witnesses did in fact see the plane at 8:15 a.m. KL time, then if the Goodfellow theory is correct the plane crashed not long after the sighting at Maldives, because there was no ping at 9:11 a.m.

The place to search for debris would be extrapolating the flight path from the Strait of Malacca to Kuda Huvadhoo and onward for up to 56 minutes of flying time.
