look, there s various reports about altitude changes, some down to 12,000 feet, maybe lower, to do with a decompression event. the reality is this, for the plane to have gone from the straits of malacca, down to the southern indian ocean, where we understand that it is, it would have had to have climbed back up to 35,000 feet. it s cruising altitude, approximately 30 to 35 thousand feet. otherwise, it would not be able to, with the fuel on board, it would not have been able to reach so far south. it would in fact only reach an area about half of that distance on the midwest coast of western australia. the only conclusion according to a triple seven captain is the plane had to go up to cruising
