No sign of missing plane at spot pinpointed by satellite
APNZ, The Independent 13th Mar 2014 5:49 AM Updated: 4:30 PM
NO SIGNS of the missing Malaysian jetliner have been found at a spot where Chinese satellite images showed what might be plane debris, Malaysia's civil aviation chief said today.
"There is nothing. We went there, there is nothing," Azharuddin Abdul Rahman told reporters in Kuala Lumpur.
Vietnamese officials previously said the area had been "searched thoroughly" in recent days.
A Xinhua report said the images from around 11 am on Sunday appear to show "three suspected floating objects" of varying sizes in a 20km radius, the largest about 24-by-22 meters (79-by-72 feet) off the southern tip of Vietnam.

Malaysia Airlines scraps MH370 flight code out of respect for missing passengers
Malaysia Airlines scraps MH370 flight code out of respect for missing passengers

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines will no longer use MH370 or MH371 flight codes for its Kuala Lumpur-Beijing-Kuala Lumpur route, out of respect for those on board the plane that had gone missing since Saturday.
The new flight numbers will be MH318 and MH319, said Malaysia Airlines in a statement on Thursday.
Malaysia's national carrier will still operate twice daily flights to Beijing.
Five days after the Beijing-bound Boeing 777-200 went missing, the massive search operations have still been unable to find any signs of a wreckage. The search is on-going in the South China Sea and Strait of Malacca.

CDRK Satellite. What they saw were likely to be dead pixels.
Seriously, this is the weirdest thing to happen in modern times.

Missing Malaysia Airlines jet ‘may have flown on for four hours’, say US investigators
Jet engine maker Rolls-Royce confirms it has data from missing plane

US investigators suspect the missing Malaysia Airline passenger jet was in the air for four hours after its last confirmed contact, and may have been diverted to an unknown location, it was reported on Thursday.
Aviation investigators and national security officials are basing their theory on data automatically downloaded and relayed to the ground from the Boeing 777’s Rolls-Royce engines, which suggested the plane flew for a total of five hours, The Wall Street Journal reported. It attributed the details to two unidentified sources "familiar with the details".
The missing Malaysia Airlines jet sent two bursts of technical data back to Rolls-Royce, to the plane’s engine maker’s global engine health monitoring centre, before it vanished off the radar, the New Scientist reported on Thursday.
If confirmed, it could aid the protracted investigation looking for clues that might pinpoint the last known movements of the Boeing 777-200ER.
Flight MH370 sent data as it took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, and subsequently during the plane’s climbing phase.
“US counterterrorism officials are pursuing the possibility that a pilot or someone else on board the plane may have diverted it toward an undisclosed location after intentionally turning off the jetliner’s transponders to avoid radar detection,” the WSJ reported, citing “one person tracking the probe”.
The new information raises questions as to how far the aircraft may have travelled after losing contact with air traffic control officials, and whether anyone was in control of the plane, which had 239 people onboard.
Rolls-Royce said today it could not comment on the investigation. “We continue to monitor the situation and offer our support to Malaysia Airlines,” the British engine maker said in a statement.
The manufacturer had on Sunday told the South China Morning Post that it tracks all of its engines and that if there had been a change in power it would know "first hand if there is something wrong with the engine". A spokeswoman said at teh time any information they had would be passed to the airline and Malaysian authorities.
Flight MH370's last known position was recorded roughly halfway between Malaysia and Vietnam. Malaysian authorities earlier said that they had tracked what could have been the craft changing course and heading west.
Balancing act I suppose. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - That makes sense.
