But they didn’t elaborate on the ‘new data’ other than their conclusions. Radar data? Wreckage found? New ‘ping’ extrapolation? What i heard on the radio was non-specific at all. They can’t do the latter with only one satellite.
It’s reported the insurance companies have already paid out $10 million to Malaysia Airlines before this announcement came.
More media games.
No, they didn’t go into how the analysis was done.
But, I wouldn’t expect that in an initial press conference - in which the Malaysian government wanted to directly notify the families and public - BEFORE - it inevitably leaked out to the press.
I had read that airline insurance assumes that after 48 hours missing the plane is GONE. So they pay in to a trust of sorts, 110M in this case. Apparently that is SOP. They will also pay families for expenses while they wait for the genuises to figger it out.
