This morning's CNN article says searchers have dismissed this new possibility. They think the plane went south.

They've wasted four weeks searching there finding zip, zero, nada. Time to take a chance and look elsewhere.

Are you on the water with them or just viewing it from an AU feed?
She's moved off the search area about 4km and is now facing north at 0.2kts Currently -20.9614 . 104.1054

I see it there today! Yesterday, I looked all over and couldn't find it. This is the site where I have been looking over the last few weeks. Live Ships Map - AIS - Vessel Traffic and Positions - AIS Marine Traffic

I know it well - and have used it plenty over the years.

So CNN aviation expert Miles O'Brien says his blood is boiling over this claim by GeoResonance. Haha, good, it ought to be. And David Pope, a GeoR CEO says their methods are intellectual property. But now the families are rightfully demanding that the Bay of Bengal site be searched; gonna be hard to get out of this one.

Check it out. Deal with it if it is the plane, move on if it's not.

They gave precise coordinates. It should be quick and simple to check out. Not sure why the company would make it up. 15 minutes? If there isn't "something" there they won't be able to sell their services at a circus.

And the latest report, now just another confirmation of how disorganized this was. 4 hours of not seeking the jet which had been missing. MISSING!. 4 hours until a search began. It's really tragic how such idiots could be in charge of something that important.

Malay military does not "talk" with civilian air authorities - always hiding something. Truth will come out eventually someone will leak. Bangladeshi navy has sent four ships to the Bay to start the search. GeoR is probably on the mark and it's going to be a real intl embarassment if they find it there. We used Iridium not Inmarsat over the years - proving a superior product.

The "official report" available online has a few debunkers on another website/forum openly admitting they might swallow their original words, for two very simple reasons: The amount of fuel recorded is in dispute; and there was a 17 minute gap on radar that went undetected. Since no linking to other sites is allowed, Google Mick West.
