Media Hype
"I'm not really sure that this is new news. Most of the possible flight paths I've seen have had MH370 jogging to the North for some weeks now. Maybe what they are intending to point out is that they now believe it to be a deliberate act?"
Actually it IS to the extent that ALL the MSM have been showing a flight path right over Sumatera after turning West.
Incidentally, the other "Loose end" is that, to the best of my knowledge, MH have STILL not released the Cargo Manifest, despite having promised to do so on many occasions. Why is that??
