Malaysia Airlines MH370 ‘ping’ recordings will not be released as doubts grow over their validity
NEW doubt has crept into the search for Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 after the Australian search agency said it would not make public the audio recordings of four acoustic “ping” signals.

After strong initial certainty they were hearing black box transmissions, the Joint Agency Coordination Centre headed by Angus Houston now appears less certain that they came from the plane.

“Analysis on all four detections is continuing,” said the JACC in a statement to News Corp Australia.

“The recordings of the detections will not be released at this point in time.”

Retired Air Chief Marshall Houston had earlier said he could see no issue with releasing the audio, but that position has changed after six weeks of intense examination of the signals.

Questions are now being raised over the legitimacy of the two sets of pings, detected by the Ocean Shield’s towed-pinger locater on April 5 and 8, and why they need further analysis given they have already been subject to extensive scrutiny.

My bolding.

So the Pings they thought were from the black box may well have been transmitters on the backs of whales or turtles..

The mystery just deepens.
 
Personally I wouldn't have acknowledged there was a book out yet if I was Karl.

If I want opinion I can come to the AFF site............ha.

From an email I got from Thomson Reuters -

Malaysian life insurers have paid more than MYR14.2m ($A4.7m) to family members of insured passengers on Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 that went missing in March (CN 1862). The Life Insurance Association of Malaysia (LIAM) said the payouts were 76% of a total MYR18.7m ($A6.2m) exposure. It said Malaysian life insurers had issued 184 policies. LIAM president Vincent Kwo said: "We understand the grief of family members and are ready to pay out faster and make it easier for next of kin to make claims." He said Malaysian life insurers had taken a "consolidated and proactive approach in expediting the claims process". LIAM waived a requirement for death certificates and aimed to pay claims within a week of receiving claimants' full documentation.
 
Malaysia Airlines jet MH370 pings 'may have come from searching ship'

​
A series of pings detected in the southern Indian Ocean and originally believed to have come from missing Malaysia Airlines jet MH370 are now thought to have been emitted from either the searching ship itself or equipment used to detect the pings, a US Navy official says.


Michael Dean, the US Navy's director of ocean engineering, told CNN that authorities now believed the four acoustic pings at the centre of the search off the West Australian coast did not come from the missing passenger jet's black boxes, but from a "man-made source".


"Our best theory at this point is that (the pings were) likely some sound produced by the ship ... or within the electronics of the Towed Pinger Locator," Mr Dean told CNN on Wednesday.


"Always your fear any time you put electronic equipment in the water is that if any water gets in and grounds or shorts something out, that you could start producing sound."

He said other countries involved in the massive search for the jet, which disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board, had also reached the same conclusion.

I disagree slightly...I think it will be found by chance (not by the official search) years down the track when debis washes up unexpectedly somewhere :(
Really feel for the families!

If the satellite data is correct and the plane was headed towards Australia, I wonder if there is any chance it did get overland?

Debis probably means debris washing up
