Having seen the two 'different' Australian photos, the only difference between them is the annotations regarding the size. They are otherwise identical...

I think Senor Varche might be onto summat

I bought a new mobile phone, set it "aeroplane mode". Haven't seen it for twelve days now.

I see Malaysian Airlines have admitted that the missing aircraft was carrying Li-on batteries in the cargo hold. These have been known to catch fire on flights and if so, the fire could have disabled the comms equipment before filling the aircraft with toxic fumes.

Wouldn't "disable" the ability to see wreckage, or the ELT, or the fact that the crew have access to oxygen, for purely such an event, and would have made a "mayday" call in that scenario ...

Shouldn't laugh but ... Lol 

Total mystery, and the plot thickens

At least todays picture is different

Incidentally... does anyone know which part of a 777 measures 70'x40', because I am struggling to think of one

Yeah there's a part of the fuselage that big. In aviation parlance I believe its referred to as a red herring. ...or is that a Naval term...?

Something to do with Hunting, Dogs from memory, putting the scent off the real Trail.

Ooh, conspiracy ...?

Conspiracy implies a level of competence to organise it. Not in this case, I don't fink.

The only bit that size is the wing root/central fuselage... but that would be a swept cross shape not a rectangle... the wings are barely 20' front to back, and are by definition, er, wing shaped

The only competence here is from the people who nicked the plane everyone else is pissing into the wind...

It's a total comedy of errors from the instant it failed to make contact with Vietnamese ATC...

From the second article

The Australian Prime Minister has announced that more “objects” have been located in the search for Flight MH370.

Tony Abbott said multiple further objects have been found in the Indian Ocean search area.

The Australian military ship HMAS Success is the only vessel currently within the search area.

The vessel will attempt to retrieve the two objects within the next few hours.

Yep, lastest News says it FLEW into the Indian Ocean 

[humbucker]

A shame that the BBC News pundit kept referring to the "Indonesian" Prime Minister and the "Indonesian" aircraft... 

Unless there's a lesser known missing plane doing the rounds?!
