Thank Og we have computers to do that. Oh, we don’t?
If it comes from a Malaysian authority figure, you can assume it’s wrong. Unfortunately.
Info on the Thai satellite data.
Bet you guys didn’t even know Thailand had satellites, didja? 
I didn’t but I’m not surprised. Out of curiosity, who launches the satellites for them?
(The company that owns and operates the satellites is yet another one owned by deposed prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, the bastard gangster at the root of all the unrest in Thailand recently.)
I figured maybe old Plymouth Satellites.
Heck, everybody has satellites. I’ve heard Westport, CN is on the list. 
Laos don’t have no satellites.
satellites? satellites? We ain’t got no stinkin’ satellites!
Re: the many possible sightings by Thailand, I’m not sure if it’s a good or bad sign. As in, there’s 200 items, surely something must have happened here, or there’s 200 items, it’s going to be hard to sift out the plane parts from the trash.
Shit, George Clooney has a satellite too. So Thailand has the resources of ONE Hollywood star – impressive!
I bumped this because of a story saying why airlines don’t live-stream black-box data. There’s a link to a graphic of what’s inside the black box.
Ummm. Never mind.
I know Laos. Laos is no George Clooney.
George Clooney has more money than Laos? That actually seems possible.
I predict that in 10 years, most commercial airliners will be streaming some data on a more frequent basis than now. In 20 years, this will include video and audio of cockpit events as a minimum. In 30 years, you won’t be able to down a drink or shit in the lavatory without some satellite knowing about it.
If planes haven’t been rendered obsolete by some other technology.
You need regulation, even if it means price increases.
I do sympathise with the airlines because the public expects to fly across the globe for peanuts and then is shocked when the airlines have to cut corners and airplanes crash. At this point a few hull losses and fatalities is just a logical cost of doing business.
It doesn’t help that the public bought that bullcrap about airplanes being the safest mode of transportation hook, line and sinker. If I get to pick and choose my sample sets I can make riding rockets bare assed look like the safest mode of transportation too.
They sort of do this now as an option and the new ELT’s are satellite based so we should be able to get a fix on the last known location along with satcom data of what happened before the emergency locator went off.
Or from one of countless media outlets, like CNN for example. They need to be horsewhipped as much as anyone.
You got anything resembling evidence for this load?
