Is Flight 370 still sending signals?

CNN · 13 March 2014 · 2:09

Open in cross-ref

Week-one report, before the 15 March Inmarsat southern-arc briefing. Captures the live confusion over whether the aircraft was still electrically alive.

Filed as a primary-era broadcast, not as later analysis. The SDU was exchanging signalling units with Inmarsat-3 F1 for hours after last radar; that fact was not public in a stable form on 13 March. Najib Razak’s 15 March statement is the official hinge. Keep early CNN as atmosphere of the first week, not as SATCOM science.
