[BREAKING] MH370 HIJACKED! THE OBVIOUS SIGNS WERE ALREADY THERE

Now the it has been officially confirmed, we can start dissecting openly why we had always suspected that flight MH370 was hijacked when it mysteriously disappeared in the early hours of March 8th 2014. We as well as a lot of media channels have tried to avoid looking too deep into this scenario as it was unclear what the motives behind the hijacking was, and reporting on it would have been detrimental to the safety of the passengers and crew.

There were a lot of obvious clues pointing to this from the day the plane went missing.

Firstly, the location where the plane disappeared is too convenient to have been a co-incidence. It is a very strategic location that would have to be pre-meditated. It was a small window when the plane left Malaysian Airspace, said its good night to Subang Air Traffic Control (ATC) and went off radar 3 minutes later – deliberately.  What’s so strategic about the location you may ask.When a plane left Malaysian Airspace, Subang ATC assumes that Vietnam ATC would take up the next communication with the aircraft.  By not entering Vietnamese air space and swiftly turning around, the people who had control of MH370 bought themselves a massive window of opportunity to plot a new course and across the Peninsular. Vietnamese ATC would have followed Standard Operating Procedure when they were not able to locate the aircraft. They sent out a message to all planes in the sector to hail flight MH370. This is where we believe that the people in control of MH370 who would have turned off their primary SATCOM communication channels, were hailed on the much lower range VHF channels by another 777 pilot which was flying 30 minutes ahead of MH370. There were claims that the pilot heard mumblings from MH370, and believed it to the the co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid.

Vietnamese authorities would have continued to hail the aircraft before informing Subang ATC that they have lost contact with the plane. With its main transponders turned off, flight MH370 would have by now flown almost all the way across the northern end of Peninsular Malaysia at 29,500 feet. Military radar would have picked up the flight, but as a commercial flight, it would not have raised any immediate alarms. This is also an unprecedented event and most Air Traffic Control personal would have been briefed and trained on the Standard Operating Procedure to handle this situation, would have checked and double checked their readings before making a call to the Military. There were rumours that Subang ATC issued a Tango call, indicating that they suspected that the aircraft had been hijacked. Unfortunately, by the time this information was confirmed and relayed to the Military, the plane would have been close to leaving Malaysian Airspace on the west.

At 29,500 ft, the plane was flying below the 30,000ft that would have been busy with other commercial flights. With its transponders and ADS-B switched off, it would have needed to maintain a safe altitude to avoid any kind of mid-air disaster and 29,500ft  is once again a very convenient and pre-meditated altitude to fly at, not something that could have been accidental or randomly punched in.

The first press release by Malaysia Airlines was a dead giveaway.

The original press release was made at 7.24am Malaysian time, almost an hour after the plane should have landed in Beijing. But the giveaway was the time MH370 lost contact with Subang ATC. It was not 1.30am when they lost contact with the flight over the Igari Waypoint over the South China Sea, but it was 2.40am when they lost contact with the flight when it left Malaysian Airspace on the West, 1 hour 10 minutes after the transponder was turned off. They later corrected the loss of signal time to 1.30am, but when Primary Radar data came to light, the authorities claimed that they had an unidentified radar blip 200 nautical miles of Penang, at you guessed it, 2.40am!

The Vietnamese authorities have always reiterated that the plane never crossed into their Air Space.

The search and rescue efforts would have revealed some information very early if the plane did go down either in the South China Sea or the Straits of Malacca. Lets be frank here. Both these seas where the search are was focused on are not deep oceans. If the plane did go down, the black box signal would have been easily detected by aircraft flying over the search area from miles away. The biggest clue was when Chinese Satellites images were leaked on a possible signs of a wreckage in the South China Sea 100 nautical miles off the last known location. The speed at which the Malaysian Authorities brushed off that there was nothing at the location was highly irregular. The images were taken on the 9th of March and released only on the 13th. If it was to be investigated, it would have covered a massive area as the debris would not have remained at the same position after so many days. China it would seem has been deliberately ‘leaking’ information to test the response of the Malaysian Authorities who were being very tight lipped about how much they knew about the flight path of MH370.

While this is going to prolong the mystery of what happened with flight MH370, it does give the families of those on board a huge boost of hope that their loved ones are still alive. While the hunt continues for MH370, lets keep the hope and prayers coming. There might still be a very happy ending for all those on board MH370!

MH370 Day 6

Was Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Redirected to Diego Garcia?

It has now become fairly evident that the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing is not accidental. In fact, there is a strong possibility that the flight was commandeered to the US military base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. A bizarre “extraordinary rendition“?

Why did Flight 370 try to hide its whereabouts?

MH370 was a 777-200 service carrying 239 passenger and crew on a regular Kuala Lumpur to Beijing service. To recap, it left KL at 12.40 am, it disappeared as a commercial radar trace at 1.22 am close to the area where such radar visibility to the Malaysia air traffic control system drops off, and was never observed as entering Vietnam controlled air space on a path intended to cross that country to the South China Sea and continue past Hong Kong toward its destination.

The transponders on Flight 370 was switched off immediately after it was outside the visibility of Malaysia’s air traffic control! To quote a poster GarageYears on a forum for professional pilots,

Turning off the transponder isn’t just a toggle or push-button, the switch is a rotary and you’d have to move it two positions to get it into the standby condition.

This could only have been done by a compromised crew, or by hijackers. To quote another forum member Tfor2,

1. It was a hi-jack (transponder turned off, no Mayday), and the plane was not under the control of the pilots. It flew to wherever was demanded, and something happened thereafter causing it to crash, probably from an effort to regain control (as with United 93 during events of 9/11). So it could be anywhere. An eye-witness will eventually come forward.

2. The most fearsome worry to come out of this is how come an aircraft can invade national territory without military or civil or satellite detection? This leaves a hole in the defense systems of all countries.

To quote a professional A330 pilot,

I think the flight deck was compromised.

But that’s not the only sign that Flight 370 was trying to hide its whereabouts. Immediately after shutting off its transponders, Flight 370 made a U-turn and headed in the direction of Diego Garcia, crossing Malaysia in the process. If there indeed had been a massive technical failure, the crew would have tried to safely ditch the plane at sea, not return to Malaysia. And if there had been a cabin decompression, the plane would have slowly lost altitude, crashing into the Gulf of Thailand. Malaysia’s Air Force Chief General Rodzali Daud first raised the possibility that the plane had reversed course the very next day (9th March), and he was quoted by a Malay-language paper as saying the  jet had been tracked hundreds of miles from its intended flight path, over the  Strait of Malacca off western Malaysia, and up to 320 kilometres northwest of the  Malaysian state of Penang, after which it either disappeared or Malaysian radar lost capability to track it. It was clearly flying low, as if to avoid detection by radar.

After turning off its transponder, Flight 370 turned around and headed to the direction of Diego Garcia.

General Daud’s statement was clearly not expected, as all the concerned governments were vigorously pedalling the notion that the plane was lost in the Gulf of Thailand, and all search and rescue efforts got misdirected to the plane’s intended route. The Communist Vietnamese government even produced some eyewitnesses that testified seeing a plane flying low off their coast. There were repeated attempts to identify any piece of floating debris in the vicinity as that of Flight 370. When mainstream media picked up General Daud’s very credible statement, he was pressured into retracting it, and has now issued a formal retraction. America’s biggest trading client, Communist China, also expressed irritation at the Malaysian government over the “confusion.” It is clear that such misdirection could not have been possible without the involvement of highly placed Malaysian officials. Nevertheless, General Daud’s statement has altered the direction of the search, which now focuses on the Andaman Sea, instead of the Gulf of Thailand. It seems there were desperate attempts to keep the search away from the West Coast of Malaysia. For example, an oil rig worker on the Vietnam coast claimed to have seen a fiery object, but the report later turned out to be untrue. To quote,

To quote another poster Frenchwalker on the same aforementioned forum,

Just to point out on some of the information provided by the Malaysian military last night around its last know position, more so around the fact the the aircraft descended to around 3000ft would this simply be to maintain Visual Flight Rules , cloud base in Kuala Lumpur usually sits between 3000ft and 10,000ft

this would indicate the the person in command certainly had control of the Aircraft

A possible flight path of Flight 370, from where it was last observed on radar in Penang, to Diego Garcia.

If the plane was headed towards Diego Garcia (which is under eight hours of flying time from Kuala Lumpur), it would have been captured on Indonesian radars as well, and it was likely to have crossed over Indonesia. But unlike Malaysia, Indonesia is a defacto Globalist client state, and would immediately cover up such information. Australia also has a sophisticated radar network, but we haven’t heard from them either.

Apart from radar, there is also other “live” data associated with commercial aircraft, which is not being discussed. To quote another user of the forum Davionics,

Why has nobody confirmed/announced if there were any transmissions sent via SATCOM? Seems to be the elephant in the room – the media currently appears to have an unhealthy tunneled obsession with; radar, ads-b, voice comms, gps, black boxes, etc.

Surely ACARS and engine telemetry data could shine a good dose of light on this incredibly sad fiasco.

Many aircraft today also have Panasonic Avionics high-bandwidth eXconnect GCS (Global Communications Suite) to augment SATCOM.

Diego Garcia is the strongest US military-air force base in the Indian Ocean. It served as a forwarding base in almost all American conflicts in the Gulf and in Afghanistan.  It was also a transit venue for the infamous “extraordinary renditions.” It possesses formidable radar capabilities, as well as several airstrips. And large hangars that can hide aircraft. To quote a commenter on a pilot’s website who believed the plane was in Diego Garcia,

My speculation is of this being a super-duper, super-extraordinary form of rendition.

And most important of all, Diego Garcia has a staff who follow a code of not asking too many questions and keeping their eyes wide shut. Unlike Malaysia, there are no General Dauds in Diego Garcia, who would blurt out what they saw on military radar.

Good Times?

Why Malaysia?

The presence of a large number of Chinese passengers on board the doomed flight is being used to strain relations between Communist China and Malaysia, and it may contribute to a future deterioration of their relationship, resulting in increased justification of Chinese presence in the region, and maybe even future Chinese aggression. This may also help explain why a Malaysian plane was targeted, as opposed to an Indonesian plane (Indonesia is already in the hands of the Globalists, and therefore never gets any brinkmanship from Communist China, which is a creation of the Globalists).

Malaysia is probably the only country in the world whose recent leadership has openly criticized the IMF, Israel, the War on Terror and made claims that 9/11 was an Inside Job. Malaysia has a bustling economy, but the Globalists prefer plantation style economies, such as neighbouring Indonesia, which is completely under Globalist control. Since Malaysia cannot be subject to the so-called War on Terror unless they start openly supporting Al-Qaida, the only other alternative the Globalists have is to feed it to China, and the Panda will invite itself for lunch, Al-Qaida or not.

Mainstream media has repeatedly stressed at Chinese impatience with Malaysian “incompetence.” While it is true that the present mess would not have been possible unless many Malaysian officials were compromised, so were many officials of other governments involved in the search and rescue efforts. And despite such high level corruption, the deliberately concealed fact that the plane had reversed course and moved Westwards did come out, albeit in a muffled way. It is unlikely that such disclosure would have ever happened in any of the neighbouring Globalist-dominated countries.

Compared to Globalist dominated Indonesia, Malaysia has gotten away with prosperity. But for how long?

Other Odd Ends

·         Initially there were reports of some passengers who did not board the plane, but then Malaysian authorities were forced to “retract” their statements. Passengers connected to the Global Elite usually receive advance warnings.

·         Flight 370 had 20 employees of Texas based Freescale Semiconductors. It would be interesting to know what their latest projects were. It is unclear whether or not the company counted the NSA among its clients. To quote Wikipedia on the company,

In the 1960s, one of the U. S. space program’s goals was to land a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth [Not Quite!]. In 1968, NASA began manned Apollo flights that led to the first lunar landing in July 1969. Apollo 11 was particularly significant for hundreds of employees involved in designing, testing and producing its electronics. A division of Motorola, which became Freescale Semiconductor, supplied thousands of semiconductor devices, ground-based tracking and checkout equipment, and 12 on-board tracking and communications units. An “up-data link” in the Apollo’s command module received signals from Earth to relay to other on-board systems. A transponder received and transmitted voice and television signals and scientific data.

[.......] and Motorola’s MPC5200 microprocessor deployed telematic systems for General Motors’ OnStar systems.

[.......] In addition, a recent ABI Research market study report states that Freescale owns 60% share of the Radio Frequency (RF) semiconductor device market.

[.......] Also in 2011, Freescale announced the company’s first magnetometer for location tracking in smart mobile devices.

·         Confirmation of Iranian passengers travelling on false European passports. While they have been ruled out as hijackers, the Powers That Be sometimes do use Iranians for dirty work. There was also an attempt to portray them as favourably as possible.

·         If a missile destroyed Flight 370, the missile would have left a radar signature (Thanks to Mike Adams).

·         Boeing 777 commercial jets are equipped with black box recorders that can survive any on-board explosion, and they transmit locator signals for at least 30 days after falling into the ocean (Thanks to Mike Adams). If the plane is indeed at Diego Garcia, the signal is being ignored.

·         Many parts of destroyed aircraft are naturally bouyant and will float in water (Thanks to Mike Adams), and would have been noticed if there was a crash at sea.

·         Some relatives of passengers claim that calls placed to their cellphones are ringing! Passenger social media accounts on the Chinese social media QQ site show the passengers to be online!

·         Conspiracy Forums are abuzz with rumours of the plane being diverted to Diego Garcia.

·         America has jumped into the investigation, subtly suggesting that the captain went mad (The Iranians don’t seem to interest them). But that’s what they said about EgyptAir Flight 990, which was returning to Egypt with more than 30 military officers who had trained in America. They are mum about the radars at Diego Garcia picking up anything unusual.

Chinese Satellite images could have found ‘suspected crash site’ of MH370

[Breaking] Chinese Satellite images could have found ‘suspected crash site’ of MH370

BY VIJANDREN RAMADASS · 6 HOURS AGO · 3 COMMENTS · 7.8K VIEWS

The Chinese Government, via their State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense department (SASTIND) have released what appears to be 3 floating objects that are suspected to be parts of the missing MH370 flight that went missing on 8th March. The released images, which were captured on March 9th show three large objects floating, with the largest object being measured at 24×22 meters (about 78 x 72 feet). The Chinese Agency have released the coordinates of 105.63 east and 6.7 north, which would put the aircraft on its intended route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing before it disappeared.

The large size of the objects, and the location are so far the best lead in the frustrating 5 day search for the missing plane. It also tallies with an eyewitness report that was circulating earlier today where an oil rig worker off the coast of Vietnam reported seeing a burning plane in the sky on the night flight MH370 mysteriously disappeared.

Andaian Terbaru Yang Diterima Mengenai MH 370

Andaian Terbaru Yang Diterima Mengenai MH 370 !!!

Selepas Berita Mengenai MH 370 Red Flag Atau False Flag ?

ADAKAH INI BENAR ??

Received by e-mail

1) adakah MAS merahsiakan perbualan antara perisik XXX dengan menara kawalan kepada kerajaan, rakyat malaysia dan seluruh dunia? kenapa nak rahsiakan?? adakah takut sebab kawalan keselamatan terlalu longgar? kenapa setelah sejam lebih pesawat hilang dari radar, tapi mereka masih lagi berkomunikasi dengan pesawat?? apa isi perbualan mereka?? 

2) radar untuk tujuan komersial tidak secanggih seperti untuk tujuan ketenteraan.. maka radar jammer dari pasar gelap sudah memadai untuk "menghilangkan" pesawat dari radar di menar kawalan subang

3) setelah "menghilangkan" pesawat dari radar, pesawat patah balik untuk ke destinasi XXX (destinasi ini saya tidak pasti di mana), pesawat terus berlegar di ruang udara malaysia, iaitu di kawasan banjaran titiwangsa selama sejam lebih sambil masih lagi "berunding" dengan menara kawalan..

4) kenapa pertahanan malaysia tidak dapat kesan pesawat itu ketika berlegar di udara banjaran titiwangsa? kerana di situ pertahanan udara kita paling lemah..

5) rundingan dengan menara kawalan gagal setelah 2 jam lebih.. perisik XXX putuskan hubungan dengan menara kawalan di subang.. perisik XXX terus menerbangkan pesawat ke lokasi XXX

6) saya gunakan istilah "perisik" kerana hijacker ini bukannya pengganas, tapi seorang perisik dari negara XXX (antara kuasa besar dunia).. sebab itulah sehingga sekarang tiada pengakuan dan tuntutan di media massa.. semua rundingan adalah secara tertutup antara pemimpin negara kuasa besar..

7) ketika pesawat bergerak ke lokasi XXX, perisik tiba-tiba menukar laluan, dan pesawat didapati terbang di selat melaka, menuju ke utara (thailand).. ketika ini, radar pertahanan udara malaysia dapat mengesan kehadiran pesawat asing ini (kerana pertahanan udara malaysia di selat melaka adalah lebih baik dari di pantai timur dan banjaran titiwangsa)..

8) tetapi pihak pertahanan masih lagi clueless tentang rampasan ini, kerana pihak menara kawalan TIDAK PERNAH MEMAKLUMKAN KEPADA KERAJAAN DAN KEMENTERIAN PERTAHAAN

9) pesawat terus menuju ke thailand.. thailand dapat tahu dan terus memaklumkan kepada seluruh ketenteraan mereka, termasuk pangkalan udara milik amerika di thailand (lokasi rahsia)

10) ketika pihak thailand cuba menghubungi pesawat MAS tersebut, perisik XXX cuba menipu dengan mengatakan pesawat mereka tersesat..jet amerika cuba intercept dan tembak pesawat, tetapi perisik XXX cuba berunding dengan amerika dn thailand

11) ketika rundingan di nanning, kerajaan malaysia TIDAK TAHU MENAHU pasal ini.. rundingan hanyalah melalui negara XXX, YYY, ZZZ dan mungkin beberapa negara lain

12) pihak MAS baru maklumkan kepada umum pesawat MH370 hilang setelah benar-benar pesawat itu disahkan tidak mendarat di beijing (jam 7 pagi lebih).. kenapa lambat sangat nak sahkan MAS?? kamu ingat perampas itu main-main ke??

13) ketika ini barulah kerajaan malaysia maklum dan seluruh dunia gempar dengan berita ini.. akibat kurangnya maklumat dari pihak MAS (pesawat tiba-tiba hilang, tak ada sebarang petanda) maka kerajaan mulakan SAR agak lambat..

14) saya tidak pasti sampai bila baru pemimpin negara malaysia dimaklumkan perkara sebenar oleh negara XXX,YYY dan ZZZ.. DS Najib cuma mengikut arahaan dari negara XXX, YYY, dan ZZZ untuk kumpul keluarga mangsa, cari di situ, cari di sini, buat itu buat ini.. tapi rasanya sekarang mereka sudah dimaklumkan..

15)TIADA APA-APA YANG BERLAKU DI LAUT CINA SELATAN.. tiada.. semua penemuan kononnya debris, tompokan minyak, claim dari navy negara XYZ kononnya dah jumpa bangkai dll adalah..... saya tidak pasti dan tidak berani nak buat andaian.. yang pasti negara2 kuasa besar dah hantar armada ketenteraan mereka di kawasan yang kononnya tempat pesawat terhempas

16) malaysia serta negara lain yang "tak tahu apa-apa" meneruskan usaha mencari.. ketenteraan kita BARU PERASAN mereka pernah kesan satu pesawat asing di selat melaka (adakah saya yang ingatkan mereka hahahaha) maka mereka terus membuat pencarian di selat melaka, kerana andaian mereka di situlah kali terakhir malaysia mengesan pesawat itu

17) ketika jet amerika hampir memintas pesawat MAS di thailand, perisik XXX berunding dengan negara amerika agar "melepaskan" pesawat itu dan memaklumkan pesawat itu adalah pesawat komersial dan mengandugi 200 lebih penumpang 19) amerika bersetuju, mungkin ada yang pelik mengapa USA boleh bersetuju dengan mudah.. ini kerana perisik itu BUKANNYA PENGGANAS tetapi dari negara XXX.. pihak amerika memaklumkan kejadian ini kepada negara XXX, dan negara XXX mengesahkannya..pada mulanya amerika demand pesawat itu mendarat di thailand, tetapi akhirnya terpaksa akur permintaan perisik XXX untuk mendarat di nanning.. kenapa nanning?? saya belum mahu hurai lebih lanjut..

18) dipendekkan cerita, ketika mendarat di nanning, sepatutnya pendaratan MH370 di nanning dirahsiakan, tetapi terbocor juga oleh beberapa orang pegawai lapangan terbang yang tidak dimaklumkan terlebih dahulu tentang pendaratan cemas ini serta MISI RAHSIA negara XXX.. akhirnya cerita pendaratan pesawat MH370 di nanning berjaya diputarbelitkan sebagai hoax

19) apa isi rundingan?? mengelakkan PERANG DUNIA KETIGA

20) ketika rundingan, negara XXX mengugut untuk melancarkan perang dunia ketiga seandainya misi mereka ini dibocorkan.. negara YYY, ZZZ dan beberapa negara lain (saya yakin malaysia tidak terlibat dalam rundingan ini) terpaksa bersetuju

21) jadi, apakah sebenarnya tujuan pesawat itu dihijack?? sebenarnya hijack itu hanyalah backup plan dari perisik XXX seandainya identiti dan operasi beliau berjaya dikesan oleh perisik dari negara lain yang turut sama berada di dalam pesawat tersebut.. semalam saya ada dedahkan salah satu nombor passport perisik iaitu YA3189197, nama pemilik passport ini ialah luigi miraldi, tetapi didapati passport ini adalah passport curi (cepat sungguh negara mereka tutup cerita)

22) saya ada terbaca berita dari china, di mana ahli keluarga cuba hubungi telefon bimbit salah seorang penumpang pesawat, dan berjaya, tetapi tidak diangkat atau disahut.. ya, memang la, sebab pihak negara XXX lupa nak off henset mamat tu setelah dirampas..

23) (imaginasi saya sahaja) - pada mulanya, pihak yang berunding berusaha untuk cari jalan untuk tutup cerita rampasan ini untuk kepentingan bersama.. mereka cuba membawa ahli keluarga terdekat penumpang untuk berunding di satu tempat rahsia (kemungkinan di nanning).. antaranya, mungkin penumpang yang terlibat terpaksa dipalsukan kematian mereka, dan pihak yang berunding akan cuba untuk membuat seolah-olah pesawat itu benar-benar telah terhempas, tetapi banyak kali kantoi.. banyak kali mereka terpaksa trik balik statement..

24) insyaAllah, sama-sama kita doakan mereka semua masih hidup Mmg dr awal kes hijack Sebab Ukraine dgn Russia tgh berperang Dlm pesawat tu ada 2 org Ukraine, seorg Russian Pengaruh cina dperlukan russia TERKINI 

Ada beberapa aspek berbangkit dlm isu MH370

1) 2 pasport hilang berprofile tinggi dlm bidang askar/ ketenteraan. 

2) 4 org China yg mempunyai kepakaran dlm bidang kimia and biologi expert di dalam pesawat.

3) 27 anak Malaysia yg berada di dalam pesawat adalah dari syarikat motorola yg expert dlm it and communication. 

4) Boeing 777 sebelum bertolak ke beijing baru kembali dari Pakistan.

5) Pasport 2 org yg hilang tidak di report pada interpol.

6) Semua negara besar telah menghulurkan bantuan kecuali Russia.

7) Boeing 777 boleh terbang lebih dari 11 jam dan boleh sampai di negara lain kerana perjalanan 777 adalah pada waktu malam yg tidak dpt dijangkau ...

8) ID Patrik Gomez perlu dikaji dgn lebih terperinci. 

9) MH 370 telah pun dihijack kerana laut sedalam 3km jika crash signal dca masih dapat dikesan. 

10) 4 Bilionair China berada di dalam flight tersebut.

It is now almost 72 hours since Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 went missing in South China Sea en route to Beijing during the early hours of 8 March 2014. The search and rescue (SAR) effort that is joined by various countries from across the world in South China Sea and Straits of Malacca so far has not been able to locate the missing aircraft.

At the same time, Malaysian authorities as well as international agencies are deep in their investigation regarding the fake passports that are used by two MH370 passengers. Due to safety concern, not much information were revealed to the public although it is now known that authorities already able to identify one of the two suspects.

Just like previous days, here is our shortlist of essentials news for all our fellow readers that are following the developments of the SAR operation for MH370:

[New Straits Times] The oil slick found in Kelantan coast was analysed and proven to be not from MH370. Objects spotted by Vietnamese search plane on Sunday also turned out to be just a mouldy cable reel cover.

[Amanz] An interesting look at why the SAR operation for MH370 didn’t utilize Google Earth and Malaysian battle submarines as well as brief history on black box and why aviation industry is not using cloud-based flight recording system. (In Bahasa Malaysia)

[Straits Times] A photojournalist account of 10-hours SAR operation alongside Singapore Air Force.

[Aviation Herald] A large field of debris has been spotted, ships already on their way to check it.

[Astro Awani @ Twitter] The search areas in both South China Sea and Straits of Malacca have now being widen.

[Astro Awani] Recordings of official press conference by Malaysian authorities for 10 March: 1200pm, 400pm, 810pm.

The first official press conference for 11 March has been scheduled to take place at 10am.

Q&A: The mystery of flight MH370

ts now 72 hours since flight MH370 mysteriously disappeared while en route to Beijing with 239 people on board. While the authorities are doing their best with a massive search and rescue effort, a lot of questions are being asked as to what has happened with the flight. We’ve compiled a few of the more important questions and answers below. If you think have a question to ask, leave it at the comments section and we will try to get an answer for you.

Q: Why hasn’t the plane, or wreckage been found?

There are many reasons for this, and the most grim scenario is that the plane suffered a high-altitude catastrophic disaster, either a mechanical failure or a strong explosion. This would have caused the debris to have been spread over a wide area and swept out by the currents before the search and rescue (SAR) efforts were started.

Another possible reason is that the plane deviated from its flight path and ended up hundreds of miles away from the current search area.

Q: What was the last known point of contact?

120 nautical miles east off Kota Bahru, 40 minutes into the flight at 1.30am.

Q: Did the flight enter Vietnam air space and if it did, did it establish contact with the Vietnamese Air Control?

[Not known]

Q: Is it normal for a plane to disappear from radar and go silent, and nobody is sent out to look for it immediately?

The problem with flight MH370 is that is it disappeared at a point where it was leaving Malaysian Airspace and entering Vietnamese air space. It is not known if the Vietnamese air force scrambled any jets to look for the plane when it disappeared.

Q: How does radar work and how could a plane suddenly disappear from radar at 35,000 ft

Radar works by sending out radio waves or microwaves, and when it hits an object, and the object bounces back a small amount of the energy back to the transmitter. Its how blind bats find their way around. By compiling back the waves, and calculating the time it took for the waves to come back, the distance, height speed and other details of an object can be extrapolated.

In the case of MH370, it mysteriously went off from radar at about 1.30am. The only two possibilities that seem could make the plane disappear from in an instant is if it disintegrated or if it went into a steep nosedive.

Q: Could somebody on the plane have jammed the radar?

No. There are a number of ways to jam or fool a radar, but its not something that can be done from within the plane. You would need to be at the radar base station to jam the radar, or you would need a decoy or special paint to hide the entire plane from a normal radar.

Q:  I heard that the military radar is more powerful and could have found the flight. Is this true?

Yes, Military radars are much more powerful, but to date, they have not released any information to the public.

Q: Why are they searching at the Straits of Malacca?

We don’t know, and we’re quite surprised that nobody has asked the question to the DCA. It is quite impossible for the flight to have made a reverse flight over the Peninsular without being detected by any radar stations.

Q: If the plane made a reverse and headed back towards land, why are they not searching on land?

We have reason to believe that the land search has already been conducted and they did not find any clues to support the theory that the plane came down over land. Also, if it was on land, the Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) as well as other beacons would have been picked up by rescue crafts. A low flying aircraft the size of a Boeing 777 would have woken up a lot of neighbours.

Q: Does the 777-200ER have an ACARS system on board? If yes, where is the data?

Yes it does, but we do not know if the MH370 had its system activated or if Malaysia Airlines had it set up to be used on its aircraft. ACARS (Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System) if activated automatically sends short messages to ground controllers, reporting the position and critical data like speed and altitude of the plane. In the event of a disaster, the ACARS system would have continued to relay data back to the ground controller until a point when it became disabled.

Q: Why don’t we send in the submarines, submarines are !##%#$# awesome!!

This seems to be the question that has been making its round across our forums for some days now. Why? Because our subs aren’t nuclear powered like the one used to help locate Air France flight AF447. Without nuclear power, the sub needs to return to base to refuel. Scouring the ocean floor when you don’t know where to look is another big problem. Even with sonar, its like using a torchlight to look for a needle on a dark carpet. The South China sea isn’t very deep, so its much easier (and faster) to just send divers down from rescue vessels.
