Greek ships rushing towards Straits of Malacca, debris spotted in water, may belong to Malaysian flight MH370 - http://www.iefimerida.gr/news/147254

Me too. This whole thing has been insane. Running willy nilly here and there from one ocean to another.

Either the powers that be have no clue where this plane is or they know exactly where it is and they are stalling for time to figure out what to do about it.

That is from the Tomnod digital satellite image crowdsourcing search effort.

Northern part of Malacca strait is no more than 650 feet.

Thanks for translating. I couldn’t get it to open.

Bulgarian Boeing? ???

Here's a link with photos of possible debris.

Big Breaking News

Users of the social network Reddit and Twitter may have found debris in the water, possibly linked to missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, as a Greek oil tanker steams toward the same spot after Indonesian reports of possible luggage in the water.

Richard Barrow has posted several images to Twitter of a satellite image that could possibly show debris from an airplane on the surface of the Ocean at coordinates 5°39'08.0"N 98°50'38.0"E, after collaborating with users of Reddit over the last 2 days.

Most interestingly, on request of the Indonesian maritime authorities, a Greek flagged oil tanker was steaming to the same location identified by the Reddit and Twitter users late Sunday evening, March 16.

Northern part no more than 650 depth. Southern part less than 100 feet.

Looks like it.

That may be an example of things getting lost in a translation. - tom

If it’s anywhere near that depth, it’s hard to believe they could see visual images of it.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Don’t see any coverage on CNN or Fox yet.

I think this may be the crash site.

Not sure yet.

This area would be roughly 1.5 to 2 hours from last contact. Can anyone explain why the engines would’ve continued reporting for 6-7+ hours after last contact? I’m skeptical, though the pictures are fairly convincing.

[WildHighlander57]

Wtd thanks for that info.

Now it gets interesting.... I wonder what that ship will find.

[Verginius Rufus]

There were a lot of people on board. I don’t think a trireme could hold them all. Better send a quinquereme.

[Girlene]

I had the same question. What was all that data from? I’m skeptical this is it.

[DJ Taylor]

"I’m skeptical, though the pictures are fairly convincing."

Boeing technicians will say, "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?

But not for Boeing claiming they were still receiving engine maintenance pings from this aircraft's engines, this area would have been thoroughly searched a week ago.

Looks a lot more intact than one would expect.

[maggief]

No idea if this is legit.
