Watching the Australian press conference. Just inserted a вЂњhey, events move fastвЂќ note into CC seg on MH370 Ivan and I did yesterday. :-) 04:35:22
Posting the podcast a few days after we record it sometimes makes us sound silly where there are fast moving events. Oh well. 04:36:43
But hey, that’s what happens with something done in spare time for fun. Too big a block of time to record and post in same day. Usually. 04:37:34
Of course, this latest lead may or may not turn out to be it, & will take even longer to figure out what happened, even if it is the plane. 04:38:34
RT @STForeignDesk: We do not want to draw too much from the latest information. This is the best lead we have: Australia #MH370 04:42:28
RT @cctvnews: Australian Maritime Authority: The objects identified may be very difficult to locate and may not be linked to #MH370. 04:43:40
MT @KFINEWS: #MH370 Australia offcl: "It is probably the best lead we have right now. But we need to … find them, see them, assess them." 04:44:18

To be clear, of those 49, only 30 were released in March. The other 19 were released earlier, but I found them & entered them in March. 10:00:36
Also to clarify, 49 is counting each candidate pairing as a separate poll, even though groups of pairing are almost always done together. 10:04:52

For those listening to CC, the original version of 4th segment was shorter, better, and didn’t sound awful. But a dead batt killed it. :-( 06:06:26
MT @BlogsofWar: RT @STForeignDesk Based on new data, location of last comm was at possibly at border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan #MH370 06:33:47
Last contact was over land? Near Turkmenistan? How the hell does it get THERE without setting off alarms along the way?? #MH370 06:41:00
Makes much more sense -> MT @TheBaseLeg: @BlogsofWar I’m thinking he meant last air corridor it was sighted on ended at the Kazakh borderвЂ¦ 06:50:16
What’s this about air corridors? Why would hijacked plane limit itself 2 defined corridors? Wouldn’t it want to actively avoid them? #MH370 06:53:28
RT @NajibRazak: However, based on this new data, the aviation authorities of Malaysia and their international counterparts have … – Admin 06:54:59
RT @NajibRazak: …determined that the plane’s last communication with the satellite was in one of two possible corridors: -Admin 06:55:03
MT @NajibRazak: … a north corridor stretching approximately from the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to northern Thailand, or a … 06:55:34
RT @NajibRazak: …southern corridor stretching approximately from Indonesia to the southern Indian ocean. – Admin 06:55:42
Ah, so corridors not in terms of normal navigational corridors, but in terms of regions the plane might have been based on available data. 06:56:45
Those are big corridors. But surely the locations far inland would be ruled out because it would be detected on the way, right? #MH370 06:58:06
I mean, to actually get to Turkmenistan you would almost have to fly over India, Pakistan & Afghanistan. Someone would notice, right? #MH370 07:00:53
