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.
Najib said the information was based on an unprecedented analysis of satellite data from Inmarsat.

unprecedented analysis.
Got it? Eat your peas.
The indication was that it was a new way of analysis. I would imagine that they initially did a standard analysis and that gave the two arcs - the north and south locations.
Then, I would imagine, they “went back” to the data to find “new ways” of analyzing the data. Thus — the results today.
