I just realized something kinda spooky: this is all happening very close to the last known location of Amelia Earhart before her plane vanished, never to be found...

uhhh not really... I guess relative to the world it is. But Amelia's last location is alot closer to everywhere else there are people than the suspected crash site of this airline.

Allianz makes payments in connection with missing Malaysian Airlines plane | Canadian Insurance

Chinese officials just now notified Malaysian officials that they've spotted debris in the southern corridor measuring 22 meters wide, they're suppose to have a press conference in the next few hours.

that's odd - don't they usually need proof that it is gone/downed/missing entirely.

good for them if they are paying, but from what i've been hearing, it is usually a much more drawn out process.

It depends on the terms of the policy.

If your car or other insured valuables are stolen, insurance companies will often pay out after a pre-determined period of time if the insured property isn't recovered or is recovered but damaged.

Sometimes these amounts will be staggered over several periods, which is what it sounds like here with the initial payments.

Searchers conclude Malaysian jet plunged into Indian Ocean | News1130

Searchers conclude Malaysian jet plunged into Indian Ocean
News1130 Staff March 24, 2014 7:05 am


KUALA LUMPUR (NEWS1130) – Malaysia’s prime minister says searchers have concluded that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 plunged into the Indian Ocean.

“Its last position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth. This is a remote location, far from any possible landing sites,” said Najib Razak at a late-night news conference.

“It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that according to this new data, Flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean.”

The flight disappeared shortly after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew aboard.

MORE TO COME

So they still haven't found anything, but decided to tell the families that everyone is dead.

I guess the interest in the story was dying out and they wanted to generate some new hits on their websites and news channels.

Completely off-base that they would conclude there are no survivors.

Not impossible, but most likely.

Thought they said earlier this morning they had actually found peices?

If you find peices of the aircraft in the water 17 days later I'd say it's a safe bet there's no survivors.
