Australia probes possible MH370 witness account

How do you see a tail of black smoke during night time?

She does not seem like a publicity junkie, so maybe there is something to her story. As good as any other lead so far, all of which have resulted in nothing.

That cargo of lithium batteries has always sounded suspicious to me.

Yeah, because a fire in the cargo hold would NEVER trip the smoke detectors installed in the hold and alert the crew to the problem and the crew would NEVER trip the halon extinguishers in the cargo hold while declaring a need for an emergency diversion to the ATC they were communicating with. Instead, they would obviously remain silent about the onboard fire and divert off course while JUST HAPPENING to avoid most radar tracking stations in the process. (rolls eyes)

Planes have crashed before because of cargo fire, and your rolling eyes don´t change that fact.
