From the article: “Then, in another shift, Malaysian authorities said at a news conference Wednesday that radar records reviewed in the wake of the plane’s disappearance reveal an unidentified aircraft traveling across the Malay Peninsula and some 200 miles into the Straits of Malacca.”
With the precise information from the oil rig worker plus this tidbit, plus Chinese satellite, it looks like the plane was shot down right on course. Missing of course: what was the track of the phantom craft *before* crossing paths with the passenger craft.
Could this have been a pirate type kidnapping to get the plane, as well as the passengers and the pilots were paid to deliver? I guess not, but if they do not find the wreckage soon, it might be best not to say all are dead, unless that fireball witness actually saw that particular plane go down. I’m skeptical when there is zero debris.
