For those interested in technical stuff and maps, I humbly offer the following:

For attribution purposes, I've captured and slightly enlarged a JPEG from within this NYDailyNews.com website article:

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/flight-mh370-debris-search-australia-ends-day-crews-reach-site-spotted-objects-article-1.1727815

The JPEG is:

At the top of the JPEG are two pairs of map coordinates:

Code: 
43°58'34.00"S 90°57'37.00"E

and

44° 3'2.00"S 91°13'27.00"E

Copy and paste those coordinates into Google Earth/Maps and that pair of locations is approx. 1,576+ miles, 231.09° (SSW) from the center of Perth Australia.

Those coordinate pair are about 15.76 miles from each other.

I hope you liked this.

I believe this is so tragic, with all the technology we have today, we would lose an airliner in a non hostile territory. This shows that it's not a perfect system. I hope the FAA takes this as a serious flaw in the system and figures out a way to stop this from ever happening again. The strain on the families must be unbearable. With over 13,000 satellites in orbit only one is capable of tracking airliners?

"We" didn't lose it - the FAA doesn't regulate aviation over there. I do not believe this would happen around the U.S., but no system is perfect.

It won't be up to the FAA as it is a US authority - the agency responsible for International Aviation is the ICAO which is part of the UN

Security experts have said they don't believe the plane would have reached the point at which the debris was found without someone at the flight controls.

Neil Fergus, who was Director of Intelligence at Sydney's 2000 Olympic Games, made the claim on Australia's Channel 9.

He also ruled out a catastrophic malfunction, suggesting the plane couldn't have made it all the way to an area south west of Perth simply due to any kind of fault.

Mr Fergus told the channel the only way the plane could have made it that far from its original flight path was by human hand, be it by one or both of the pilots, or passengers.

Elsewhere, investigators are believed to be looking into a phone call made in the cockpit by pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah.

Analysts were looking into the call, according to The Sun.

I see the slow leak of information about the Captain another way. I have no doubt that if Malaysia truly suspected him they would throw him under the bus. I think the slowly alluding to terrorism is a way of covering for what really happened. They are releasing things and putting a suspicious slant on it, with out actually calling it that. They're not lying, just allowing people to come to their own conclusion while shaping what that conclusion is. They haven't actually accused the Captain of ANYTHING and they can't because they have nothing that would hold up.

Covering to buy time? or covering a monumental failure of the airline that could affect tourism? Covering because they shot their own plane down?

It was before the plane took off. So yeah....could have been in the airport or he was in the plane on the runway.

You can get reception in the airport.

I'm just going to put the headline for each theory, you'll have to read the article for the evidence.


Searching for the plane truth -- amid speculation

(CNN) -- It's been more than 12 days since Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 went missing from radar screens, and hard facts about its fate remain in short supply.

To fill the vacuum, experts and amateurs have been conjuring and sharing theories about what may have caused the commercial airliner carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members to seemingly disappear.

Here are some of the leading theories:...


SPECULATION: PILOT HERO

SPECULATION: PILOT SUICIDE

SPECULATION: COMMANDEERING

SPECULATION: HIJACKING

SPECULATION: MECHANICAL FAILURE

SPECULATION: THE BIZARRE:
A meteor struck the plane.
Some country's military shot it down:
The plane landed on an airstrip without anyone noticing:
Aliens abducted the plane.

Can't you "buy" another by paying a huge amount of money too?

Wealth matters. I'm not sure how the "permission" is obtained, but yes, with wealth you can have more than one child.

It was reported captain Shah wife and three children moved out of the family home a day before the flight. The family is cooperating. I wonder what that was all about? I think officials are holding back a lot of info due to security reasons.

This was actually not totally accurate and came out about a week ago. He owned two houses, and the wife and children had moved into the other one, I think. Someone else may remember better and possibly have a link.
