What????
I've been out for a few hours and only heard snippets of news, but it seems that the Malaysian side are tying themselves in knots.
We have the RMAF saying they did track a plane that would fit the profile of MH370 flying back across Malaysia, then the head honcho said he didn't say that but didn't deny it was true, then he said that they actually had tracked a blip back across Malaysia. I mean, make your mind up!
The Vietnamese worked them into a corner by saying they had tracked MH370 turning west AND they told the Malaysians pretty much straight away.
Then the Malaysians said the tracked the blip some 200 (TWO HUNDRED!) miles past Penang, which would have them two thirds of the way to North Sumatra, with every indication that the blip was still flying and went out of range of the radar.
There is so much conflicting information that it's impossible to know what's really going on!
