Re: BREAKING NEWS: Malaysia Airlines Says It Has Lost Contact With A Flight
Wouldn't it be something, if it were really that simple. If so, what does that say about our world we live in today. We are so guarded and expect the worst, because, let's face it, the bastard radical Muslim extremists have us backed into a corner and we will forever be on guard. I hope this theory is what happened & that plane is found in the water, because the other alternative is just too much to accept. |

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Malaysia Airlines Says It Has Lost Contact With A Flight
Interesting...Israel is taking this seriously. As the possibility--however remote--grows that Malaysia Airlines flight 370 may have been hijacked and taken to a hidden location, Israeli authorities are preparing for the possibility that the hijackers might attempt to use the Boeing 777 to mount an attack. According to the Times of Israel, Israel's Channel 2 has revealed that Israeli air defenses have been boosted, and approaching civilian aircraft will be asked to identify themselves far earlier. Though the flight was presumed at first to have crashed, whole or in pieces, into the ocean, passive satellite transmissions from the aircraft suggest that it made a deliberate course change and may have headed north into central Asia. Pakistan has already said that the flight never registered on its radar, but at least one expert has suggested the flight could have landed in Bangladesh, whose air defenses presumably would be weaker. Though the possibility that the Boeing 777 could be used in a terror attack is mere speculation, it is evidently being taken seriously by Israel. A plane filled with nuclear material would not need to be in Israeli airspace long to do catastrophic damage, even if shot down. There are no reports yet that the U.S. is taking similar measures, and U.S. officials have suggested recently that the likeliest fate of flight 370 was a crash into the Indian Ocean. http://www.**************/Big-Peace/2...alaysian-Plane |

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Malaysia Airlines Says It Has Lost Contact With A Flight
Thailand finally releases MH370 radar data Published: 5:16AM Wednesday March 19, 2014 Source: AP Investigators trying to solve the mystery of a missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner have received some belated help from Thailand, whose military said it took 10 days to report radar blips that might have been the plane "because we did not pay attention to it". A coalition of 26 countries, including Thailand, is looking for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which vanished on March 8, with 239 people aboard, during a night flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Search crews are scouring two giant arcs of territory amounting to the size of Australia - half of it in the remote seas of the southern Indian Ocean. Malaysian officials said early in the search that they suspected the plane backtracked and flew toward the Strait of Malacca, just west of Malaysia. But it took a week for them to confirm Malaysian military radar data that suggested that route. Thai military officials now say their own radar showed an unidentified plane, possibly Flight 370, flying toward the strait beginning minutes after the Malaysian jet's transponder signal was lost. Air force spokesman Air Vice Marshal Montol Suchookorn said the Thai military doesn't know whether the plane it detected was Flight 370. Thailand's failure to quickly share possible information about the plane may not substantially change what Malaysian officials now know, but it raises questions about the degree to which some countries are sharing their defense data. Flight 370 took off from Kuala Lumpur at 12.40 a.m Malaysian time March 8 and its transponder, which allows air traffic controllers to identify and track the airplane, ceased communicating at 1.20 a.m. Montol said that at 1.28 a.m, Thai military radar "was able to detect a signal, which was not a normal signal, of a plane flying in the direction opposite from the MH370 plane," back toward Kuala Lumpur. The plane later turned right, toward Butterworth, a Malaysian city along the Malacca strait. The radar signal was infrequent and did not include any data such as the flight number. When asked why it took so long to release the information, Montol said, "Because we did not pay any attention to it. The Royal Thai Air Force only looks after any threats against our country." He said the plane never entered Thai airspace and that Malaysia's initial request for information in the early days of the search was not specific. Advertisement "When they asked again and there was new information and assumptions from (Malaysian) Prime Minister Najib Razak, we took a look at our information again," Montol said. "It didn't take long for us to figure out, although it did take some experts to find out about it." The search area for the plane initially focused on the South China Sea, where ships and planes spent a week searching. Pings that a satellite detected from the plane hours after its communications went down eventually led authorities to concentrate instead on two vast arcs - one into central Asia and the other into the Indian Ocean. http://tvnz.co.nz/world-news/thailan...r-data-5867932 |
