Now before you slam me, please think about this. What if your mom, dad, child or anyone else you know were on that flight and you saw these jokes.

yeah humor is no way to get through tragedy only crying and mopping around will be tolerated by us very tolerant and loving people.

Then it would continue to give me hope that they were still alive instead of all hope being crushed under the bootheel of a Malaysian Gov't official. Being jovial and unrealistic takes the edge off of the brooding and hopelessness felt by anyone on the ground or in a plane looking through binoculars. What have you done to help, 11BEE? I crowdsourced for a while staring at sat photos.

For all you know, that "Malaysian government official" and his evil "bootheel" might be under strict orders from others to zip it.

I can't wait to revisit this thread 5-10 years from now, when truths come out, but the pathetic memory of most of our society has played out its course.

My point is, let's wait and see before we demonize.

Has anyone seen actual proof that the flight ended in the Indian Ocean? Sorry, but I all I see are people saying "The evidence points to one conclusion" but I haven't seen any wreckage or other evidence.

So far the only thing I've heard is the last satellite imagery taken was in an area where it would've been impossible for them to reach land. That's all they're going off of apparently.

apparently the satellite that tracked it is over the indian ocean and they could tell it was moving closer to it.
still I'd love for all the smug experts to be wrong.

They flew for over 7 hours.. They could've reached land. Plus did it really turn around or not?

The satellite that tracked it couldn't pinpoint its exact location. It was either pinpointed in the Indian Ocean or in the Middle East/Russia.

Something that's been floating around the internet. I figured I'd post it here. I don't know if I believe it though.

Quote:
RUSH UPDATE: The story below is NOW CONFIRMED 100 PERCENT TRUE.

The blindfold:
The man claimed to be blindfolded when he sent the message. When the American military blindfolds someone, it is accomplished by putting a bag over the head that is locked so you can’t get it off. This left the engineers hands free. This would have made it possible for him to pull his Iphone 5 (a fact confirmed by the Exif data) out of his butt as stated, and use the voice command ability of the Iphone to just talk to it to log in and post the message. This explains why he sent a black photo, he could not see what he was sending, he just knew he snapped a photo and sent whatever got taken.
The coordinates:When the coordinates are added to the fact that the photo’s exif data does not match the Google coordinates or any other coordinates for Diego Garcia that are posted online, but is still within the boundaries of Diego Garcia, it proves that no one just pulled those coordinates off the web. It helps confirm that this was not just a hoax because the coordinates are exact to wherever on Diego Garcia the Iphone was when it took the photo.
ORIGINAL POST FOLLOWS:

IBM ENGINEER TAKEN FROM HIJACKED FLIGHT 370 GOT A SELFIE OUT TO THE INTERNET.

This image, which appears black was posted as taken in a dark cell by an IBM engineer. The picture is black because the cell was too dark, but a critical piece of information was embedded in the Exif data, the coordinates to Diego Garcia, where the picture was taken. And it’s real, this is NOT a hoax. The coordinates in the picture indicate that the photo was taken within 3 miles of what Google officially gives for Diego Garcia. It is NOT EXACTLY what comes up on Google. It is off a couple miles, so NO ONE GOOGLED THIS, thus helping to confirm it’s authenticity. I don’t know how big the island is, but if it has a runway, that certainly fits.
The picture posted with the following text: “I have been held hostage by unknown military personal after my flight was hijacked (blindfolded). I work for IBM and I have managed to hide my cellphone in my ass during the hijack. I have been separated from the rest of the passengers and I am in a cell. My name is Philip Wood. I think I have been drugged as well and cannot think clearly.”
ASTEROID IMPACT LEVEL UPDATE: SCAMMERS ARE SAYING THERE NEVER WAS A PHILLIP WOOD WORKING FOR IBM. BUT HIS LINKDIN DESTROYS THAT LIE AND CONFIRMS THE STORY:

Image Exif data: THE SMOKING GUN

The Exif is intact. Exif data gets embedded in every image by every camera and includes the circumstances under which the photo was taken. It can be viewed by saving the image to your desktop, and then right clicking it and selecting image properties. Hit the details tab. You can see that the image was taken on March 18 with an Iphone 5, with the ISO at 3200 and a shutter of 1/15. The coordinates are included in the exif data because the Iphone knows where it is, and the coordinates are for Diego Garcia. THE FIRST TIME A BLANK PHOTO SAID IT ALL.
Exif can’t be rewritten with common software, it can only be added to in fields such as image credits with some advanced applications. It can be erased as well but NOT CHANGED. Photos with the exif intact will hold up in court. If the Exif is hacked and this is not real, the CIA or a really good hacker did this, which I doubt, I’d say it’s probably real.
Surrounding this story is the fact that the man who managed to get this information to Farganne (forum member Glitch) was harassed and received many threatening voice mails over it, that is another piece of evidence pointing to this as being real. One thing is certain, once it’s posted here on this site the genie is OUT OF THE BOTTLE. I cannot stress how important it is that the GPS coordinates in the photo do not perfectly match what Google says and are not posted anywhere on the web, because it proves that the source of those coordinates did not come from google or Wikipedia, they really did come from the imaging device and it HAD TO be at Diego Garcia when it took the photo.

Its all the information about the photo when it gets created by the device capturing it. Is tells the GPS location, type of device used, did the flash fire, whats the resolution of the photo, was it altered...etc. Basically the GPS data on that photo points to the island of Diego Garcia and was taken on March 18th. People are claiming it to be real. But who knows if that data can be manipulated or not. Its supposedly proof of the hijack conspiracy theory.
