There is one extremely important aspect that is never mentioned on really anyones timeline. That is
0107 - ACARS disconnected
0121 - Transponder switched off
0122 - "Alright, Good night"
shortly after 0130 - Japan Flight makes radio contact with plane
Between 0130-0145 - multiple eyewitness reports from Malaysia/Thailand border areas (Businessman, Bus Driver, 'Villagers', etc)
Well, it is rarely mentioned because it likely never happened that way. It comes from one early claim by the
New Strait Times that has been picked up in the usual rash by other outlets (XYZ have learned) who later did not find it interesting anymore.
A pilot is quoted to have speaken anonymously, fine. But then that writing goes on to say the source was on a T7 (how pertinent), captain, bound for Narita, 30' ahead, and knew the MH370 crew by first name (and voice) ... Not very smart for an 'anonymous' pilot, or a real journalist, for that matter. The text just screams 'I'm credible'.
Guess the anonymity lies in the non-existence of this source.
