That article was first released on the 13th and I saved the earlier version of it. The version the WSJ currently displays is from the 14th and is an update.
Here is a snippet from the copy I saved from the 13th
which includes an extra sentence claiming that they had speed and altitude information.
(Flight 370
) transmitted its location repeatedly to satellites over the course of five hours after it disappeared from radar, people briefed on the matter said, as searchers zeroed in on new target areas hundreds of miles west of the plane's original course. The satellites also received speed and altitude information about the plane from its intermittent "pings," the people said. The final ping was sent from over water, at what one of these people called a normal cruising altitude. They added that it was unclear why the pings stopped. One of the people, an industry official, said it was possible that the system sending them had been disabled by someone on board.....
There will be many books written about this episode, I hope one of them is devoted to the release, mis-release and non-release of information regarding flight MH370.
