Updates: Están mirando desde Laos (lugar al que el avión habría llegado a la mínima velocidad) hasta el mar Caspio (al que habría llegado a máxima velocidad), pasando por todos los países que entran dentro de ese radio, y Australia también ha enviado aviones a las islas Cocos. Vamos, que no tienen ni puta idea del paradero del avión xD
Australia tiene 3.000 radares cerca del Índico, pero es difícil que captaran al avión si no estaban dirigiéndose hacia su posición en ese preciso momento. El Índico profundo es el lugar menos escaneado del planeta.
spoiler YAHOO UPDATE 7.41PM : Salient points from press conference at 5.30pm:
- Last words from cockpit - ‘Alright, good night’ was said by the co-pilot.
- Last ACARS transmission at 1.07am. Next signal due 30 minutes later but did not happen. ACARS could have been switched off between this time.
- Plane was carrying three to four tonnes of mangosteen in cargo, no hazardous cargo.
- On a news report that plane flew at 5,000 feet to avoid radar, MAS says ‘it did not come from us’.
- Pilots flew as assigned by roster, no swap.
- Two Malaysian ships and a helicopter have been deployed.
- MAS now on ‘code tango’ - a heightened security code that looks at all possible security shortcomings. All psychological tests on pilots will be reviewed.
- Defence and Acting Transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein denied that Malaysia was not working closely with the FBI, saying he has been working with them and Interpol ‘since day one’.
- Why only two corridors? Calculations done based on minimum and maximum speed of plane. On the northern corridor plane could have reached Laos at minimum speed or the edge of the Caspian sea at maximum speed.
On the southern corridor, plane could have reached east of Sumatra at minimum speed and south of the Indian Ocean at maximum speed.
DCA chief: Six handshakes (pings) were received by geo satellite on top of Indian Ocean. Only information available is the time of the pings, but no coordinates.[/spoiler]
Por cierto, ya se está hablando de la posibilidad de no encontrar nunca el avión.
