Officials say an automatic system on the plane was pinging satellites for hours after air Traffic Controllers lost all contact with the aircraft. Investigators think the plane continued flying during that time. A senior u. S. Official says theres a significant likelihood potential at least its now at the bottom of the ocean but no conclusions can yet be reached. A reuters report suggests the plane was deliberately flown hundreds of miles off course towards the andaman islands near india. Theres heightened suspicions that increase the opportunity that foul play may have been involved.
