Malaysian PM: We have a responsibility to the investigation and the families to only release information that has been corroborated

Between Malaysia and Vietnam the transponder switched off and it turned back and flew Westerly over peninsula of Malaysia and then turned West......  all consistent with deliberate actions.

Today with satellite data they can confirm the aircraft was in fact the missing plane.  FAA, NTSB, NSA and Malaysian authorities all concur with this data.

Thank you, Rap, for keeping the thread updated.  :beer:

A skilled pilot could put a 777 down on any flat bit of land that is at least a mile long, with a reasonable chance of it landing and staying in one piece. They are built pretty tough, especially the undercarriage. Even an isolated chunk of road would do.

There would be countless old Soviet air force bases.

Following copied from online discussion. (Underlining added by me)

On the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, the Boeing 777; (I've got over 26 years in USAF Air Traffic Control and 5 years with the FAA) , the ELTs never went off.
I'm of the frame of mind the plane landed safely at a bare base under Muslim Brotherhood control.

The "Shoot Down" theory would have activated the (ELT) Emergency Locator Transmitter, and, unless within the first 5 mins of the hour Zulu time, would have been noticed.
Even within the first 5 minutes, satellites would have pinpointed a lat/long location after the 3rd sweep of the ELT.

We don't have the ELT location from the satellite system, so I don't believe it crashed or ditched into the water.
If it was blown up, the ELTs would have been activated and on battery power, they would have "transmitted pings" all the way down to the ground or if into the water all the way down through the water to the bottom.
They would transmit until the batteries run down, normally three days to a week. ELTs have survived many crashes and explosions, because they are designed to do just that.

My first thought of where to look would be any abandoned air strip left by any military in the Phillipeans.

I have a very bad feeling about this. Are they looking for a delivery method and if so what type of delivery and where? After refueling they could go about anywhere.

If they are looking as far as Kazakhstan if you look at the map Iran isn't that much further.

Pretty much. They have an unloaded (fully fueled) range of 17,000 kilometers.

If it was taken, you can color the passengers dead. They would be an inconvenience.
