Seriously? It took them 10 days to analyse the INMARSAT data? I had heard on CNN that the data was sent from INMARSAT to Malaysia to the US on Mar 12 analysed for 2 days, returned to Malaysia and resent to the US for further analyzing.
These people sux. I get the need to be thorough, but really? Took INMARSAT 4 days to retrieve satellite data?
Prayers for the families.
