another possible interpretation
Like language interpretation? Or interpretation of the data?

Can someone add the plane departure, known path, and now suspected path (with the turn around)?
I'll add that in, along with all recent bets, as soon as I can.

Not that I don't know that pic is a joke, but a 777 isn't fitting through that intact.
Dang it. I'll keep searching, maybe Q-18.

I don't think planes that big can glide far if at all.
Well a 777 has a glide ratio of about 20:1 which means for every mile high it is it can glide 20. Which sounds insane but is also awesome
Therefore if it were at 35,000 feet and this roughly 7 miles up it could have glided another ~140 miles.
Of course this doesn't mean they did that or that the plane began to glide immediately starting at 35,000 feet, could've lost 10,000 feet of altitude then began to glide, etc.

with how much misinformation that's been out there, who the hell knows what it actually did. they spent three days looking over waters even though people had knowledge it had turned east... it's just crazy.
i get the feeling they may never find it.

Has anyone said guesses and suppositions yet? If not, let me be the first one to say it.

On Mar 11th 2014 Malaysia's Air Force reported their primary radar data suggest, the aircraft may have turned west over the Gulf of Thailand at about 1000 meters/3000 feet below the original flight level (editorial note: another possible interpretation could be: at 1000 meters of height compared to 10000 meters original level) and flown past the east coast near Khota Baru and the west coast of Malaysia near Kedah, the radar return was last seen at 02:40L near Pulau Perak in the Straits of Malacca, about 285nm westsouthwest of the last known (secondary) radar position. Local Police at Khota Bharu confirmed a number of locals reported lights and a low flying aircraft at Khota Bharu at an estimated height of 1000 meters/3000 feet.

I don't know anything about them, like what kind of electrical systems they effect. Do they kill any and everything that uses electricity or just things with microchips? For example, would an EMP kill a battery powered flashlight?
Watched Oceans 11 the other day so EMPs are fresh on my mind
Same here.
I'm not familiar with EMPs outside of movies, but in movies don't they kill cars which then can't be started again (which uses a battery)? I realize that is the movies, but maybe that is accurate? I have no idea.
But even above that...I wonder how they would affect something basically specifically designed to work through all kinds of electrical malfunctions/trauma.

Why is it not possible to track the last ping off all the cell phones?

Southern Q6 or Northern Q10 might be where it went down. Pulau Perak is about 200 miles off the northwest coast of Malaysia.

Malaysia's Berita Harian newspaper also quoted air force chief Rodzali Daud yesterday as saying the plane was last detected by military radar at 2.40am on Saturday, near the island of Pulau Perak at the northern end of the Strait of Malacca and at a height of about 29,500 feet. The latest revelation has raised further questions about the Malaysian government and its national carrier's handling of the situation.

This information is conflicting. They're saying it was in the Strait of Malacca at 29,500 ft., but there's also the report that it was at the east coast (Kota Bahru) at 3,000 feet. Something doesn't add up with these reports of it turning around and heading back over the peninsula.

Tons of water (obviously) on that map...that's not gonna help them find it any time soon (provided it did crash). Hopefully more pieces will keep coming out that fit the puzzle of what happened, and more specifically...where.

Anybody have any idea of how reliable Malaysia is as a government, or as a media? Is it a strict, government-controlled media (similar to China, for instance), or more of a free-wheeling one like ours? My knowledge of Malaysia is basically limited to Zoolander.

Someone wondered if something like an EMP could've been why all the usual emergency systems (like beacons and whatnot) weren't fucntioning.
