#RememberingMH370: MH370 went down in Southern Indian Ocean - Page 127

I don't think this has anything to do with the pilot. So far there has been no proof, so it's not right to point fingers at anyone. Even if the pilot had some kind of a mental condition, why would they let him fly a plane ? I've read that he's been flying for a very long time and is also experienced.
If something had been wrong with him, it would have showed in the past few years. Why bring it up now ?

Missing Malaysia Airlines plane 'deliberately diverted'

The communications systems of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 were deliberately disabled, Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak has said.

According to satellite and radar evidence, he said, the plane then changed course and could have continued flying for a further seven hours.

He said the "movements are consistent with the deliberate action of someone on the plane".

The plane disappeared a week ago with 239 people on board.

Mr Razak stopped short of saying it was a hijacking, saying only that they were investigating "all possibilities".

He said the plane could be anywhere from Kazakhstan to the Indian Ocean.

The developments have added further uncertainty to the relatives of the 239 people on board the Kuala Lumpur to Beijing flight.

Some in the Chinese capital said the news had made them more hopeful that their loved ones are alive, but one woman said they were on an emotional rollercoaster and she felt "helpless and frustrated".

'New phase'

The flight left Kuala Lumpur for Beijing at 00:40 local time (16:40 GMT) on 8 March and disappeared off air traffic controllers' screens at about 01:20.

Mr Razak told a news conference that new satellite evidence shows "with a high degree of certainty" that the one of the aircraft's communications systems - the Aircraft and Communications Addressing and Reporting System - was disabled just before it had reached the east coast of Malaysia.

ACARS is a service that allows computers aboard the plane to "talk" to computers on the ground, relaying in-flight information about the health of its systems

Shortly afterwards, near the cross-over point between Malaysian and Vietnamese air traffic controllers, the plane's transponder - which emits an identifying signal - was switched off, he said.

According to a military radar, the aircraft then turned and flew back over Malaysia before heading in a north-west direction.

A satellite was able to pick up a signal from the plane until 08:11 local time - more than seven hours after it lost radar contact - although it was unable to give a precise location, Mr Razak said.

He went on to say that based on this new data, investigators "have determined the plane's last communication with a satellite was in one of two possible corridors":

• a northern corridor stretching from the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan through to northern Thailand
• a southern corridor stretching from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean

The BBC's Jonah Fisher in Kuala Lumpur says investigators will now focus on trying to obtain the radar data from any of the countries the Boeing 777 may have passed over.

This could include Thailand, Myanmar, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India and Pakistan.

Mr Razak said that in light of the new evidence, the investigation had "entered a new phase" and would focus on the crew and passengers on board.

Shortly after the news conference finished, Malaysian police searched the Kuala Lumpur home of the plane's pilot, 53-year-old Zaharie Ahmad Shah.

Malaysia's prime minister confirmed much of what had been leaked to the media, from US agencies and satellite companies, in the last 48 hours.

His government had been facing severe criticism for not being more open about what it knows.

China - which had 153 citizens on board the flight - has urged Malaysia to continue providing it with "thorough and exact information" on the search, state news agency Xinhua said.

The foreign ministry said it was sending technical specialists to participate in the investigation, and appealed for the help of other countries and organisations.

Along with the Chinese passengers, there were 38 Malaysians and citizens of Iran, the US, Canada, Indonesia, Australia, India, France, New Zealand, Ukraine, Russia, Taiwan and the Netherlands on board.

An extensive search of the seas around Malaysia - involving 14 countries, 43 ships and 58 aircraft - since the plane disappeared had proved fruitless.

Malaysia's PM Najib Razak confirmed the plane's communications systems had been disabled and it may then have been flown elsewhere for some seven hours

The sweep of the South China Sea has been called off, as the investigation "enters a new phase" and refocuses its search west over the Indian Ocean.

The agonising wait for news on the fate of their loved ones continues for the relatives of those on board on the airline.

I'm honestly so exhausted from all of this.

Anyway, I've just got done watching the video. Don't forget to watch it. It's interesting.

Really? I added it to my watch later list, so I'll watch it when I'm on ipad.

Based on the incidents and the expertise with which the flight have been flown , in this crucial situation it is good to analyse everything with a microscope than just leave it. I agree the pilot has lot of experience but we have also read from past abt pilot suicides. I don;t think it is an insult to enquire more when lives of 239 people are involved.

For now there has been no proof of pilot suicide or mental condition or whatever.

& I wouldn't even be surprised if the next day they release an article and make a claim about the pilot or even have his wife say something like he was on medication, etc.

Even if it is the case of pilot suicide, where is the plane ? I'm sure the pilot must be dead by now.

How can a plane so big just vanish and no one can find it ?

Its really not possible unless they themselves have hidden it somewhere.

In the video, the guy was saying that maybe it is the plane that they wanted.

Maybe they left the passengers somewhere and they forgot about their phones that's why we are hearing phones ringing.

Saying that it's suicide pilot is ridiculous. I mean, he isn't alone. Where is the captain ? Was he just sitting there watching the pilot kill himself ? If the pilot wanted to kill himself, he would have done it on the first day and we would have found the plane since it obviously would have crashed somewhere.

Left their phones where? In the plane?

and who knows, the phones ringing news may not even be true.

Yea. Anything is possible in this case.

& No. I mean leave the phones with the passengers. They forgot to take the phones from the passengers. Ughh ! Idk ! Must be some stupid hijackers ! 😆

My back hurts. I'm out. You should go chill too ! 😆

We're not going to be hearing anything new soon.

Peace !
