Much like AG has done above, I would like to start a media/blog/social media archive here on this thread. No real rules to be applied just that the story, article, statement, video or pic must be verified and not be a regurgitated, pc'd or photo-shopped version pinched off the endless stream of mindless 24/7 MSM sound bites.

To begin I will start with a link to Clive Irving's latest offering off The Beast..why? Well because the question on debris drift is indeed mystifying (i.e. there is zero debris found at this stage) & questions the whole validity of the SIO search & the whole credibility of the ATSB so called "experts" - MH370 Search May Be in the Wrong Place Again

CI: "..Something significant was missing when senior ministers from Malaysia, Australia and China announced a new effort to find the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 on Thursday. There was no mention of what is fast becoming the most perplexing feature of this multi-layered mystery: why has no floating wreckage turned up?

Make no mistake, the more time that passes without a single piece of floating wreckage being found the stranger it gets.

There is no previous case in the history of modern intercontinental jets where a crash into an ocean has not produced floating wreckage – and within days of the disaster. No matter how violent the impact of an airplane hitting the water there will always be some scattered debris that never sinks..."

     
Next article was from the Huffington post - MH370 Malaysia Airlines Search Area To Be Doubled 
This article focussed somewhat on Captain Simon Hardy's calculated position on the 7th arc for the MH370 wreckage but the part that piqued my interest was this:

After losing contact with air traffic control over the China Sea, Hardy says the transponder was turned off and then the aircraft did something “quite remarkable.”

“It did a U-turn and reached landfall exactly at the border between Malaysia and Thailand. Then it flew along the border. It went in and out of those two countries’ airspace eight times. I’ve never seen anything like that, but it is a good way to cause confusion between controllers.” [Hardy's in-depth mathematical analyses can be read here.]

Why?? Well because Hardy is one of very few people that draws the same conclusion that I (& #P9) did i.e. that MH370 purposely flew along the FIR boundary to mask any real interest by the half-asleep ATCOs in possibly 4 surrounding Nations. Of course this theory like so many is dependent on the veracity of the Malaysian radar plot from IGARI west & across the Malay Peninsula to Malacca Straits etc..etc. 
Next article was from the IBT - Malaysia Airlines MH370: 'Prove to world assumed flight path' says marine surveyor

I was somewhat taken by this article because I cannot believe that (in bold) has not been done:    

"...The 45-year-old is now calling on the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) to prove its theory works by sending a plane along the assumed calculated flight path..."   

I know that parts of the ATSB SIO theories are based on many hours spent in a B777 simulator but why haven't we flown the ATSB theoretical route in an actual aircraft?? Surely this exercise would be invaluable to test or invalidate many of the theories like the JW spoofing theory, the hacking theory etc..etc??

Shereef also questions the veracity of no debris findings and proposes:

Shereef also said to pinpoint the debris of the plane, oceangraphers should start locating it based on choosing a position like somewhere close to Antartica or south east of Maldives, which would be too far for any debris to be washed ashore to an inhabited place within a year.

Finally (for now) for the sake of the NOK and for the credibility of the JIT ICAO Annex 13 investigation I wish to reproduce in full the following article from the Malay Mail online:    

Check out all theories including Maldives sighting before setting them aside, MH370 kin say

KUALA LUMPUR, April 18 — Theories of Flight MH370 sightings and locations should be verified before being thrown out by search teams, the families of those aboard the ill-fated flight said today.

Voice370, the group representing the families, cited as example the claimed sighting of a plane flying low in the Maldives area.
“We believe that other theories put forward if accompanied by credible evidence should be verified by independent investigators before being discounted.

“For example, we would appreciate it if the investigation team would actually interview witnesses, like those in Maldives who claimed to have seen a low-flying plane for evidence to either prove or disprove the theory before they completely dismiss the possibility,” the group said in an email response to Malay Mail Online.

The underwater search for Flight MH370 is currently being conducted in the southern Indian Ocean off the Australian coast, while Maldives is an island in the Indian Ocean-Arabian Sea region.

This Thursday, Australia’s Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said the alleged sightings of the still missing Flight MH370 in Maldives are “not possible”, noting that recent reports were merely year-old news reports that had resurfaced.

“It’s also completely inconsistent with satellite data that’s available and inconsistent with the radar sightings that were available. It wasn’t picked up by the Maldives air traffic tower or other authorities in that area and so it’s not considered to be a likely possibility,” he had told reporters here.

Truss had also said experts are “quite confident” that the aircraft likely lies within the search zone identified.

The three nations — Malaysia, Australia, China — said this Thursday that it will expand and double the current 60,000-square-kilometres search area if the plane is not found in the current zone.

In the same response to a question on whether Voice370 thinks the search should be conducted elsewhere, the group acknowledged that the authorities were basing their search area “on the only available evidence with a semblance of credibility”.

“We acknowledge the Independent Group of Experts who worked in parallel with the authorities also arrived at a similar conclusion but that does not mean every other possibility should be discounted,” it told Malay Mail Online.

This week, Malaysia’s Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai confirmed that 61 per cent of the current 60,000-square-kilometre search area located within the high priority zone has been scoured.

Both Australia and Malaysia are splitting the A$120 million (RM325 million) pledged for the search, while the expanded search phase is likely to cost the two nations an additional A$50 million.

The year-long search for Flight MH370 — which disappeared with 239 people on board on March 8 last year — has failed to yield any leads.
On January 29 this year, the Malaysian government declared the loss of Flight MH370 as an accident under international aviation regulations.
