There is an article tonight that they found a debris field in the water closer to Hong Kong. Will find it again.

In that area are some of the most busy shipping lanes in the world.

BBC map seems helpful: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-26525281

Hong Kong seems a way away. We will see, busier shipping lanes would mean a higher likelihood to see something.

I don't know if this is a language issue or what:

09.30 Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, Malaysian civil aviation chief, said earlier that the widened search includes northern parts of the Malacca Strait, on the opposite side of the Malay Peninsula and far west of the plane's last known location. Mr Azharuddin would not explain why crews were searching there, saying rather cryptically, "There are some things that I can tell you and some things that I can't."

Interpol released photos of the 2 Iranians.

Had valid passports when they entered Malaysia. Traded, apparently, passports for 2 European passports.

[Obligatory?] No sign of terrorism or terrorist ties.

“It changed course after Kota Bharu and took a lower altitude. It made it into the Malacca Strait,” the senior military officer, who has been briefed on investigations, told Reuters.

That would appear to rule out sudden catastrophic mechanical failure, as it would mean the plane flew around 500 km (350 miles) at least after its last contact with air traffic control, although its transponder and other tracking systems were off.

I know this is not quite near the Horn of Africa or Libya, but maybe this is the first practice shot with some of our stolen MANPADS.

Would a crash on land show up on a seismograph? I wonder if any movement was detected in on land.

“Malaysia Airlines live: military says last tracked plane hundreds of miles off course
Malaysia’s military believes it tracked a missing jetliner by radar over the Strait of Malacca, far from where it last made contact with civilian air traffic control”

Hard to believe in today’s day of technology that commercial aircraft do not constantly broadcast their flight parameters to a database where it can be retrieved.

In WW2, the biggest US defense item was The Bomb, right?

Nope!

It was the B-29 which delivered it.
