Malaysia Airlines plane now missing for 11 days
It has now been 11 days since flight MH 370 went missing from ATC control.
239 people on board.
The Malaysia Airlines plane left Kuala Lumpur at 00:40 local time (16:40 GMT) on 8 March. The last transmission from the plane's Aircraft and Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) was received at 01:07.
Thailand's air force said on Tuesday a re-examination of its radar data found what may have been the plane travelling west towards the Straits of Malacca shortly after it lost contact with air traffic controllers.
The last words from the plane - "all right, good night" - were believed to have been said by co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid to air traffic controllers at 01:19 as the plane left Malaysian airspace.
Satellite communication at 08:11 showed that the plane could have continued flying for a further seven hours in a northern or southern arc.
