A CHINESE satellite looking into the missing flight MH370 has "observed a suspected crash area at sea", in what experts say is the first solid lead in the search for the missing plane.
Three satellite images, published by China's State Administration for Science, Technology and Industry, appear to show wreckage fragments in the sea on Sunday - one day after the jet carrying 239 disappeared.

The satellite spotted three blips, the largest of which is 24m by 22m in size.
The coordinates released by the Chinese agency would place the object in in the South China Sea between Malaysia and Vietnam, according to the BBC.

A former US aviation safety official has said the images represent the first solid lead consistent with the Malaysia Airlines plane's flight path.
Peter Goelz, former managing director of the US federal National Transportation Safety Board, told CNN: "These (images) are the first solid piece of evidence we have that are on the correct flight path."

The US Navy reportedly has a destroyer already in the area and has deployed another vessel to investigate.
It has not been confirmed whether the blips are the wreckage of the missing flight.
The Chinese agency provided no explanation why the images were only released Wednesday. The US has cautioned it may not be the wreckage as ships have been known to dump junk at sea in the past.
Missing plane's missing hour mystery
The Boeing 777-200 took off from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing at 12:41am local time on Saturday. The plane vanished off the radar around 50 minutes later at 1:30am.
No distress signal was sent.
An international air and sea search involving 12 countries has entered its sixth straight day.
More to come.

I wonder if there is a posibility that the so called aircraft missing news covered in media is part of a diversion from an ongoing situation.....ie the plane was hijacked and landed in an undisclosed military controlled air base and efforts are being made to secure the passengers and crew.........

Might be the PERFECT timing for MH to pick up some of the cancelled orders.....since the first bird is to be delivered next year......

Premium airline? World class equipment with 3rd world management mentality

I mean AK sorry

Potentially and opportunity for AA to buy into the airline and operate domestic......and to States....

Seems like a nice design though I am whether the roof will hold when it rains......seems like poor design in dispersing water that may be held up on the middle section of the roof...

Quick solution might be to take some of those 787s from AI either on lease or outright purchase…..hmmmm

Maybe as part of this deal we would see MH giving up all its Domestic to AK, FYwill b the international LCC being D7 being absorbed into FY. AK will maintain domestic and regional presence. Win win situation. MH will have additional 10 or so ready LCC frames and are now able to retire some of its older fleets and will have presence in both premium and LCC internationally ahead of SQ. KLIA2 will now be dedicated domestic + regional and KLIA will be International only…

Did a quick check on D7 booking and realise that D7 is also doing Turkmenistan too!
