Also, I would intersect the two circles and perform the calculation myself, EXCEPT that the media refuses to say AT WHAT TIME the Malaysian radar last spotted the plane, info we need, to know the second circle. (If anybody knows this info, say so.)
The last contact via military radar is reported as 1h 34m after takeoff. The last satellite contact was 7.5h after takeoff. The sausage shaped estimated areas are apparently based on the plane flying another hour after last satellite contact, but allowing for a wide range of speed between the last radar contract and the last satellite contact.
