Maybe I missed this earlier, but I saw on the news just now that the big turn the plane took was actually pre programmed in to the flight computer.

Course, anymore, I'm taking everything I hear about this with a grain of salt, since no one knows what's going on, and you can get an entirely different story on just about every single news outlet.

The media doesn't know what's going on, and we sure don't. If I'm this annoyed, I can't even imagine how the families feel. They've probably gone through every single emotion, several times a day, for over a week now. If anyone does know what happened, they really suck to do this to these people by not telling them anything at all.

At least that is what FlightAware.com reports.

No they don't. This was highlighted, right across that same page that you copied and pasted above.

Tracking data for this flight is incomplete and potentially inaccurate.

And the Malaysian flight is highlighted too. It clearly states Status - result unknown.

Why would you post partial and misleading information?

Background checks of passengers on Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 have drawn a blank, but not every country whose nationals were on board has responded to requests for information, police chief Khalid Abu Bakar told a news conference on Sunday.

With the intensity of those agencies reporting the news stating no country have any credible information of the plane showing up on their radar along the northern coast theory.......I guess we will see the search turn into the endless amount of ocean of the southern route theory.

Years ago this search would have faded away....but todays technology will keep this fire lit. We have the means to cap a spilling oil rig thousands of feet below the surface........nothing is impossible if the plane is found, and this will drag this out until it is.

If my family or friends were on this flight, I would want the search to continue. Would sure be nice to have a miracle here and find all the passengers alive in some remote jungle; all these people wanted was to arrive at their destination safely. They can bring someone home from the space station; but can't fly over the ocean without getting lost?

My heart and prayers are for the passengers and the people waiting for their loved ones.
