I just realized something kinda spooky: this is all happening very close to the last known location of Amelia Earhart before her plane vanished, never to be found...

uhhh not really... I guess relative to the world it is. But Amelia's last location is alot closer to everywhere else there are people than the suspected crash site of this airline.

hope that's the plane wreckage...it's nearing day 14 :(

Don't jinx it Soundy, it's still early in the year.

well looks like insurers are starting to make payments for the plane....

Allianz makes payments in connection with missing Malaysian Airlines plane | Canadian Insurance

Chinese officials just now notified Malaysian officials that they've spotted debris in the southern corridor measuring 22 meters wide, they're suppose to have a press conference in the next few hours.

OK, so DHS told me DoD said #MH370 was in Pakistan the other day, now Lt. Gen. McInerney says he has a source confirming it is in Pakistan."

lol Fox News military analyst, Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney.

that's odd - don't they usually need proof that it is gone/downed/missing entirely.

good for them if they are paying, but from what i've been hearing, it is usually a much more drawn out process.

It depends on the terms of the policy.

If your car or other insured valuables are stolen, insurance companies will often pay out after a pre-determined period of time if the insured property isn't recovered or is recovered but damaged.

Sometimes these amounts will be staggered over several periods, which is what it sounds like here with the initial payments.

Did some new calculations with sat data and they are saying the plane crashed in the southern ocean no survivors., Breaking news.

link to news/source?

its all over TV right now

said it crashed somewhere in the Indian Ocean

Was breaking news on CNN. They have also spotted debris via plane.


Now its on their website.

Searchers conclude Malaysian jet plunged into Indian Ocean | News1130

So they still haven't found anything, but decided to tell the families that everyone is dead.

This!

I guess the interest in the story was dying out and they wanted to generate some new hits on their websites and news channels.

Completely off-base that they would conclude there are no survivors.

This is only happening because the families have been putting pressure to get answers.

fuk this sucks. RIP to the people on board =(

never doing malaysian airlines again!

Chances are that this is the case. Pretty hard to lose a plane like this for this long and have survivors.
Not impossible, but most likely.

Thought they said earlier this morning they had actually found peices?

If you find peices of the aircraft in the water 17 days later I'd say it's a safe bet there's no survivors.
