Flight MH370 replied "All right, roger that" to a radio message from Malaysian air control, authorities said.

The only time I hear this phraseology is in the movies

Most reports I see quote "All right, roger that" or "all right, good night" - some only have the "All right, roger that" quote and others only the "all right, good night"..... spent 12 years with an ATC feed in my ear and have heard odder things than that.
Regardless - thanks for the update - but it would be handy to post a link and source as I have found it even Reuters have contradictory posts - just like this story is contradicted by http://www.theblaze.com/stories/201...e-made-contact-with-missing-malaysian-flight/ published a few days ago.
Bottom line I believe is that if you read it in the press or see it on the TV or internet you must take it with a grain of salt (or a ton on some occasions) such as the false reporting on what the Malaysia Military said - already linked and quoted back a few pages
 
Daily update from Vietnamese news (it's in Vietnamese) http://tuoitre.vn/The-gioi/597760/m...-hieu-vat-the-la-giong-may-bay-o-malacca.html

What I figure from the Google translation:
  • Minister Seri H. Hussein (director of the Malaysian civil avition authority) said the search has been taking place both the Malacca Strait and the South China Sea, with the participation of 12 nations, 42 ships and 39 aircraft within 27,000 square miles (as of March 12, 2014).
  • Commander of the Royal Air Force Malaysia Rodzali Daud said military radar had detected an unknown(?) aircraft in the Malacca Strait to the north, hundreds of miles away from the location where aircraft disappeared (East Sea), and stressed that the information needs(needed?) to be authenticated, which is why Malaysia delayed disclosure.
  • Minister Hussein denied that the body was discovered floating in the sea.
  • The Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam has asked Malaysia to confirm the information on March 11, reported by Reuters and CNN dated that military radar tracked the aircraft over Malacca. However, the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam has not yet received official confirmation from the relevant authorities in Malaysia.
  • A New Zealand national working on an oil rig in the waters of Vung Tau sent an e-mail to the Vietnamese(?) search and rescue commander on March 12, saying they had seen a plane on fire before falling into the sea. An AN26 aircraft searched the area for several hours but found nothing.

Actually it was "Alright, good night" according to Malaysian aviation officials.

That is exactly what I also saw on the news. A lot of the information coming from the media is unreliable. They are just banking on this to get ratings as always. I would even say that the SAR efforts so far have been consistent with the information in hand and what Malaysia and the countries helping are able to do. Yes it's a 777 and it can't just disappear but we forget that the world is not a small place either. With 7.5 hours of fuel on board, that plane could have gone further out in any other direction than they now know. I cannot imagine the pain and anger the families of the passengers are feeling right now. But I am sure of one thing, we will learn from this and make flying safer and SAR better has we have done in the past. With every accident, the public demands answers right away and they always never get it. It could take years to find out. Most people following this story right now will go about living their life and remember this only when the final reports of the investigation are published and mentioned in the news. There are many missing ships and planes that have never been found. Even with the technology we have right now in the air or on the ground the chain of events that lead to the disappearance of this 777 may be the perfect scenario where it is possible for a plane of that size to vanish without any direct lead.

Flight MH370 replied "All right, roger that" ... (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-26541057)

Take your pick: http://www.foxcrawl.com/2014/03/12/...a-airlines-flight-mh370-all-right-roger-that/

And what about this wording.....

“All right, roger that” or “all right, good night”, would have been the last words coming from MH370 in response to a radio message from Malaysian control tower. The voice communication suggested that everything was apparently ok on board flight 370 which was carrying 239 people between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing. -

What I find interesting is that this version says WOULD HAVE BEEN and not were so again we have such poor journalism that we do not even know if they were the last words - or the last words that one would expect to hear on an ATC handover.... which I would actually expect to be a readback of the clearance or at least include the frequency that the aircraft was being handed over to... !!!

I will have to go looking to see who released this information or was it really an informed guess but some un-named someone now being reported as gospel by th media.

Why don't they simply post the transcript, that's what most ANS would have done, that would solve the problem

What ?

I can promise you that no they would not

Not a respectful one, at this stage. NO ANS would publish it, it would be up to the civil regulators of that country to release relevant data as a transcript
 
CNN is now reporting China satellite images that could be the crash site. Possible plane with 3 suspected floating objects next to it. The image was taken Sunday morning.

Never heard "roger that" in any transmission, only tv shows, police movies etc

Well, I don't consider myself an authority on many things, this however, I do.

While it's not proper phraseology, pilots say all sorts of weird things on hand off.

Even if it was a hijacker, that phrase alone wouldn't trigger a suspicion in any controller, even if it's not professional.


I grant you "Roger That" is a little rookie, but I've heard much worse from time to time, not indicative of anything.

I've even given a freq change and had back

"Seeee yaaaa!"

TERRAWRIST!

Why wouldn't someone post the stupid image .... I don't get releasing that info without the image.

It's live on cnn right now and it's in the initial search area. They are showing the pictures right now. They were released by china a few minutes ago.

If this is real, survivors could have been waiting there for days.

CNN.com: "Three floating objects have been sighted" east of the initial search area and intended route of flight. No mention of survivors.
