US and India are probably searching more towards the west now. Near the Andaman.
There are rumours that the plane travelled on for another 4 hours post last contact. An ex-BA pilot put forward his theory that - sudden depressurisation of the aircraft would have left the pilots with two choices: 1. Deploy the gas masks 2. Turn back to KL. He went onto say that, maybe the pilot did turn his bearing towards KL but not the exact airway route as there might not have been enough time, hence the plane might have traveled west on a parallel route on auto-pilot until fuel ran out and is somewhere near the Indian Ocean. This sounds so goddamn scary!
