Prime Minister Tony Abbott has announced objects possibly related to the search for the missing Malaysian Airlines plane have been found in the southern Indian Ocean.
“Possible debris”.. So it may just be water.
The South Indian Ocean was low on my list of posibilities. Why fly the plane out in that area? If they do find debris I guess they will have to figure the currents to see where the plane would have been 12 days ago.
At this point, anything that is the real answer would be a surprise.
Perspective....
Kant tell that joke in the open forum....
Yeah me too, I mean what’s the point..take the plane off course to fly to Australia? Those women the co-pilot let in the cockpit, weren’t they Australian? Maybe he wanted to pay them a visit
You’d really think a lower official and not the Prime Minister himself would be announcing this and reading articles, they are only going from “satellite imagery”.
It just seems, if this is not it, the PM might not look to well.
They are still saying the Indian Ocean, satellite imagery so to me, it’s wrong to do as Drudge has up right now, “WSJ: found in Oz?” because I doubt if it is very near that continent.
It just doesn’t make sense..take the plane purposely off course, maybe trying to take it to Somalia or something..then it crashes in Australia? I would figure that these pilots were so brilliant with their plan their end game was just crashing it in Australia, but of course NOTHING about this story makes sense
” LOL OMG seriously..come on Australia”
Ditto!!!! :-)

It’s been announced by the Prime Minister to the House of Representatives at the start of Question Time for today. It’s not like it’s a general press announcement - it’s intended for the Members of Parliament. It’s televised and the press is there as well, so it is certainly a public announcement, but nothing should be read into the fact that it came from the Prime Minister. It’s normal for the ‘Minister Who Has The Call’ (and at the start of Question Time, that’s the senior Minister in the Chamber) to appraise the House of any information of general interest.
It’s more satellite imagery, and it could be nothing like last time. I don’t think it makes him look bad.
But, we were told by Lt. Gen. McInerny that it landed in Taliban territory in “Pock-ees-taan”, then probably loaded with horrible and awful cargo we don’t even want to think about, to be directed toward vulnerable land parts we also don’t even want to consider.
We insignificant & unimportant little “peons” are in need of direction from the cognoscenti, so we can know what to think, and then parrot along to our compadres.
When do we hide under our desks, retreat to our bunkers, or run for the hills, caves, or hardened silos?
So many opinions, so little time?
Need I add the /s?
Fits with my theory, but will make that General who tried to convince Hannity that Boeing knew the jet landed in Pakistan look pretty stupid if it’s really down there.
I think the pilot, who was a close observer of Malaysian politics, was distressed by the retrial and conviction of the current administration’s political opponent. That trial ended on March 7th and the pilot was reported as saying he planned on attending it.
The following day, he gets on a plane, loses it (his mind, temper, whatever) and commandeers the plane with the intention of dropping it on the Malaysian government a la 9/11. He turns back toward Malaysia, probably disables the passenger and crew by depressurizing, maybe even killing them all, flies low around the Malaysian area staying out of radar range, but then finally comes to his senses, distressed over what he’s already done, and does a suicide dive into the deep ocean.
Fits with everything I know, and makes a lot more sense than hiding a Boeing 777 on an airfield along with 239 bodies, whether alive or dead, without anyone noticing. Also fits with the fact that so far they’ve found nothing out of the ordinary about any of the passengers or the rest of the crew except a couple of guys on fake passports that they’ve already investigated.
Precisely - for reasons of basic geography (most technologically sophisticated resources in the area and a large coast line, Australia’s search and rescue area covers a huge area of the Indian Ocean - this debris, if it is debris, could be 1000 miles or more offshore.
Thank you, that makes sense. I did know he told it to the Parliament. Maybe someone was mentioning a press conference but I may be mistaken.
Really? But why would they? Does Australia need some press or something?
AMSA (Australian Maritime Safety Authority - responsible for searches in our S&R zone) will be doing a press conference in about half an hour.
“It just seems, if this is not it, the PM might not look to well.”
He could have been asked for an update on FLT 370 while talking to reporters. He also stated the debris may very well not be from FLT 370.
The debris may be from the remains of some global warmest trying to get to the Anartic trying to prove how ice free it is.
