Oh, wait a minute.

I thought the angle of the last ping received by satellite from the plane had been analyzed - not by the Malaysians, by the way - and it put the plane somewhere on an arc, whose southerly part was off the west coast of Australia , whose northerly part was somewhere around eastern India, and whose middle was near the west coast of Malaysia?

If the plane flew for several hours before sending that last ping , then it had to have turned either north or south after it had turned west and crossed Malaysia from east to west?

Or has that satellite ping information been rebutted or retracted? I'm having a hard time keeping up here .
