The plane never went to 45,000 feet. That "news" was the result of faulty RADAR data that does that all the time in that part of the world...because the global air traffic infrastructure has not had any real substantive updates to it since the 1960s. Like I said before, the plane will be outside of where they were initially looking for it because RADAR doesn't work well out there and the pilots would have to call in their locale (and they did not provide any communication after they were passed to Vietnamese airspace). When the tracking is that piss poor, you get all types of faulty data. 45K didn't happen.
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.
