lynw,
You need to read my post again. The majority of air accidents and rescues surveyed in Australia 1999- 2012 by AMSA and the ATSB were first notified by visual and aural witness. This is hard data..... You cant ignore them. But they are being ignored the Fisherman, Businessman and Bus Driver at Kota Bharu, the Oil Rig worker off Vung Tau. And the passenger of Malaysia Airlines from Jeddah to KL. All ignored.. All put in Police reports or reported to the Searching station close by. They cant be all wrong! I am not saying ignore the tech info but use everything they have. The last known heading or track off the Malay Defence Radar and use visual witnesses. Everything. Don't let one piece of sat data discount all the other pieces.
