At about 400nm from the US coast, Chinese passengers onboard MH370 will call via Iridium sat phone asking for relatives and media to meet them at JFK in an hour. Indicating no alternate airport. Media and relatives with flowers waiting at JFK anxiously. What do we do Mr. President?
Looking at the Inmarsat signal analysis i found it to be flawed. Once ACARS is turned off the sat antenna remains signal homing on the last satellite. Which indicates homing on the Pacific satellite and not switching to the Indian Ocean satellite. Going west bound the signal would still appear but weaker giving the impresion that is must be flying along the boundary of satellite coverage (north or south). There is a perfect match on this boundary and the search area.
What is known for sure is that MH370 remained 7 hours aloft. That is exactly the ETE to Somalia which is 3100nm west of Malaysia. MH370 B777ER could have easily covered the distance with half full tanks.
Since there were no radar detection on the north route and no debris on the south route the only option you have left is the west route. With easterly winds of 50kts.
What puzzle me is that I have not seen anything on TV suggesting search in Africa. After all what other place a hijacker would go undetected.
A plane in the water is no threat to anyone "SEARCH ON LAND"
