How Far It Flew
Kerosene Kraut:
The SecDef of Malaysia denied the engine data transmission story today. The US still seems to support some ongoing flight theory.
Its not that Malaysians are against the ongoing flight theory, till someone locates the debris field you have no option but to assume that the aircraft flew beyond that geographic area. Right now they are scouring Malacca strait and eastern Andaman Sea. In next couple of days they will move further west into the Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean. Its pretty obvious by now that the debris field is not anywhere close to main shipping channels in the Indian ocean but perhaps further north in the Bay of Bengal.
