Malaysia Airlines said Saturday it lost contact with a plane carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Flight MH370 lost contact with the Subang air traffic control at 2:40 a.m. Saturday (18:40 GMT Friday). The flight was operated on the Boeing 777-200 aircraft. It departed Kuala Lumpur at 12:41 a.m. Saturday (16:41 GMT Friday) and was expected to land in Beijing at 6:30 a.m. Saturday (22:30 GMT Friday).
The airline said it was working with the authorities who activated their search and rescue team to locate the aircraft.
The flight was carrying 227 passengers, including two infants, and 12 crew members, the airline said.

How terrible for the families to have to wait this out. I pray and hope with all my heart that somehow everybody is safe.
This is scary, Malaysia Airlines has an excellent safety record. Hopefully this turns out better then it appears.

The strange thing is the situation of the crash. Weather report was fine and no storms in the area reported. No distress call and the plane on radar dropped 200 meters before disappear, again no alert and distress call. So it's unlikely a weather caused incident like Air France 447 crash. Also, the plane was at ideal safe zone ( way beyond the take off and landing risk stage). So it's either a mechanical or terrorist attack. If it's mechanical, it should be a major one to cause it disseminated in the mid air without time to make distress call; if it was a terrorist attack, the purpose was not to take over the plane, but just destroy it (like bomb or so). The other possibility is it was still out of the vocal communication zone form both Malaysia and Vietnam air control.

I just realized I should be SO thankful for every successful landing when I've flown. We take so many things for granted. My heart goes out to the poor families.

What a horrible reality the friends and families of the victims have to face, and what a horrible way to go. I don't wish anybody death, but I hope that it was both quick and unexpected.

Vietnamese air force planes on Saturday spotted two large oil slicks close to where a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 went missing earlier in the day, the first sign that the aircraft carrying 239 people had crashed.
The air force planes were part of a multinational search operation launched after Flight MH370 fell off radar screens less than an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing early Saturday morning.
The oil slicks were spotted late Saturday off the southern tip of Vietnam and were each between 10 kilometers (6 miles) and 15 kilometers (9 miles) long, the Vietnamese government said in a statement. There was no confirmation that the slicks were related to the missing plane, but the statement said they were consistent with the kinds that would be produced by the two fuel tanks of a crashed jetliner.
Two-thirds of the missing plane's passengers were from China, while others were from elsewhere in Asia, North America and Europe.
Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said there was no indication that the pilots had sent a distress signal, suggesting that whatever happened to the plane occurred quickly and possibly catastrophically.
Asked whether terrorism was suspected, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said, "We are looking at all possibilities, but it is too early to make any conclusive remarks."
Foreign ministry officials in Italy and Austria said the names of two nationals from those countries listed on the flight's manifest matched passports reported stolen in Thailand.
Italy's Foreign Ministry said the Italian man who was listed as being a passenger, Luigi Maraldi, was traveling in Thailand and was not aboard the plane. It said he reported his passport stolen last August.
Austria's Foreign Ministry confirmed that a name listed on the manifest matched an Austrian passport reported stolen two years ago in Thailand. It said the Austrian was not on the plane, but would not confirm the person's identity.

Malaysia Airlines plane missing: Oil slicks spotted, Australians on board amid terrorism fears
NEWS.COM.AU 12 MINUTES AGO MARCH 09, 2014 12:26PM
THE search for a missing Malaysia Airlines plane continues with reports two people on board had stolen passports, raising fears of a terrorist attack.
As Malaysian Airlines released more information about passengers on board the plane, it emerged two passengers were traveling on stolen passports.
Luigi Maraldi, 27, was listed as the sole Italian national aboard the missing flight, but according to his father, was not on the plane.
“Luigi called us early this morning to reassure us he was fine, but we didn’t know about the accident,” Walter Maraldi told NBC News. “Thank God he heard about it before us.”
The name of an Austrian citizen, Christian Kozel, 30, also appeared on the passenger manifest, but the European nation’s foreign ministry stated that the man was safe back home, and that his passport had been stolen.
Officials from Italy and Austria confirmed that the travel documents of both men were reported stolen in Thailand.
As the news emerged, aviation expert Chris Yates told Sky News the plane would not be carrying enough fuel to still be in the air and would “definitely have crashed”.
While the cause of the crash is unknown terrorism has not been ruled out.
“We simply don’t know the circumstances behind what caused that crash at the moment.
‘There will be two areas for the investigation: the maintenance of the aircraft and also possible terrorism.”
Today, the Department of Civil Aviation will extend the search and rescue operation to the Straits of Malacca, as Malaysian authorities are now awaiting the latest satellite imagery for any signs of wreckage from flight MH370.
EXPERTS EXAMINE: HOW COULD THIS PLANE DISAPPEAR?
AUSTRALIANS ON BOARD FLIGHT MH370
Six Australians including two couples from Queensland and one couple from New South Wales are missing and feared dead.
They are among the 239 people on board the Malaysia Airlines flight that has not been found yet.
Brisbane couples Rodney and Mary Burrows, and Catherine and Robert Lawton of Springfield Lakes are believed to be friends travelling together.
“Dad phoned this morning and said ‘Bobby’s plane’s missing’,’’ said Robert Lawton’s brother David.
“I couldn’t believe it. I still can’t believe it.
“We just want to know where it is, where the plane’s come down, if there’s anything left.”
Cathy and Bob Lawton are kindly neighbours, doting grandparents and adventurous spirits who have long roamed the world, according to friends and family of the Brisbane couple.
Family who had gathered at a Burrows family home yesterday waiting for news saidthey were too upset to speak.
The Burrows lived in the quiet Brisbane suburb of Middle Park, where neighbours last night described the tragic loss of two soul mates who always put family first.
“They are lovely people,” said Don Stokes.
“They were excited about the trip.
Fellow neighbour Mandy Watt added: “They were all about the kids. The kids had moved on... they’re all successful, all happy. This was their time.”
The couple from Sydney have been identified as Li Yuan and Gu Naijun. Their last known address is a peaceful townhouse in a complex on the northern tip of the Sutherland Shire, where Boeings and Airbuses criss-cross in the skies above. Mr Li is believed to own the Metro petrol station in Miranda.
Perth-based father-of-two Paul Weeks, originally from New Zealand, was also among the 239 passengers and crew feared dead.
The 39-year-old, who lives in Perth’s north-eastern suburbs with his young family, was on his way to do his first shift as part of a fly in-fly out job in Mongolia.
It was meant to be the start of a dream job for the mechanical engineer.
Last night his wife Danica spoke to The Sunday Times from their home and said she was trying to come to grips with the
tragic news.
The couple have a three-year-old son named Lincoln and a 10-month-old called Jack.
Mr Weeks is originally from New Zealand and moved to WA in 2011 to work in the mining industry.
According to his online job resume, he had been working with MTU Detroit Diesel Australia in WA.
He had previously worked for the New Zealand army for about six years.
Mr Weeks was listed as one of two New Zealand passengers despite his ties to Australia. The Sunday Times also understands the brother of a Perth woman was on the flight.
A spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said the government “fears the worst” for those aboard the flight, and that they had so far confirmed the names of six Australians on the flight’s passenger manifest.
“Our sympathies are with the families and friends of these Australians. We also extend our condolences to the families of the other passengers and to the governments of all those countries affected, in particular China, Indonesia and Malaysia who had significant numbers of nationals on this flight.
“Australian consular officials are in contact with family members living in Australia of those believed to be on the flight and will continue to provide the families with all possible consular assistance,” the spokesperson said.
“Australian consular officials are in urgent and ongoing contact with Malaysia Airlines. Malaysia Airlines has advised that it is contacting relatives of the passengers on the flight.”
The airline has established a call centre – phone +60 37884 1234 – for those seeking more information.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s 24 hour Consular Emergency Centre is contactable on 1300 555 135, or +61 2 6261 3305 (if calling from overseas).

Malaysia Airlines plane missing: Desperate search for wreckage and clues two days after it vanished
News.com.au 5 HOURS AGO MARCH 11, 2014 6:21AM
THE two stolen passport holders on board MH730 were not of Asian appearance as earlier claimed by authorities.
The Director-general of Malaysia’s Department of Civil aviation, Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, said late last night the two passengers were not Asian looking and they had passed through all “security protocols” before boarding the flight.
His comments contradict earlier statements by the Malaysian Home Minister that the two men were of Asian appearance.
“We have looked at the footage of the video and the photographs and it is confirmed now that they are not Asian looking men,” Mr Rahman told a late night press briefing in Kuala Lumpur.
“They have gone through screening, their baggage has been screened, their cabin baggage has been screened and they complied fully with the protocols of immigration security,” he said.
He said authorities were now investigating the possibility of a stolen passport syndicate but he would not be drawn on what the men looked like, suggesting that the investigation had moved away from them.
Asked if they looked African, Mr Rahman would not comment except to point out that footballer Mario Balotelli was Italian but was not Italian looking.
And he announced an expansion of the search area to 185 kilometres on both land and sea, moving outwards to Vietnam and Indonesia.
Mr Rahman released maps showing the increased search area saying that “every inch of ground in this area will be covered”.
He said the search area was divided into blocks to be covered by each ship and aircraft involved in the search he released a map of the new search zone.
Earlier Home Minister Zahid Hamidi reportedly said that the two passengers who used the passports looked Asian in appearance.
“I am still puzzled how come (immigration officers) cannot think: an Italian and Austrian but with Asian facial features,’’ he was quoted as saying by Malaysia’s national news agency Bernama.
Earlier officials said that up to five passengers checked in to fly on the flight — but didn’t board the plane.
Their luggage was taken off after officials realised but it is not clear how they fit in to the mystery of the vanished jet.

Christian Science Monitor By David Clark Scott, Staff writer / March 10, 2014
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370: Why has the search area been widened to include the west side of the Malaysia peninsula? In the hunt for Flight MH370 are there lessons to be learned from Air France Flight 447?
When Air France Flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris went down over the Atlantic on June 1, 2009, resulting in 228 deaths, floating debris and a jet fuel slick were found within two days.
It's been three days since Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared over the Gulf of Thailand.
Why can't this aircraft be found?
Are there any lessons to be learned from the Air France flight?
In both cases, there was no "mayday" or distress call from pilots. The planes just "disappeared" from the sky.
In the case of AF447, bad weather was a factor. The Air France pilots didn't radio for help because they didn't realize, until it was too late, the severity of their problems. And as some pilots have noted, they don't see a lack of communication as necessarily a sign of a terrorist bomb or the catastrophic failure of the aircraft. As one put it, the priorities are "aviate, navigate, and then communicate."
All reports so far indicate that MH370 encountered no bad weather.
In the case of AF447, good clues quickly emerged as to the aircraft's last location and what might have gone wrong. Brazilian air traffic control had recent contact with the Air France jet and the aircraft had sent a series of electronic messages over a three-minute period from an on-board monitoring system via the Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS).
Four days after the crash of AF447, the airline released a transcript of the ACARS data, which indicated that in the last four minutes of the aircraft's flight there were six failure reports and 19 warnings involving navigation, auto-flight, flight controls, and cabin air-conditioning. The ACARS data gave early clues to what went wrong. Ultimately, among the causes of the crash were pilot errors in response to faulty readings from air-speed sensors.
It's not clear whether Malaysia Airways Boeing 777 was equipped with ACARS. Flightglobal reportedly asked Malaysia Airlines about signals from the 777’s ACARS, but the carrier declined to comment citing “pending investigations” by Malaysia’s Department of Civil Aviation.
If authorities had ACARS data telling them what went wrong with the Malaysia Airways flight, that might give them a better idea of where to look.
The last reported position of Flight MH370 – and last radar contact – was over an area of sea between Malaysia and Vietnam. The aircraft disappeared about an hour after taking off from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing.
As of late Monday, no debris had been found, and authorities said they were widening the search area. But a map of the widened search area is now raising new questions about how much Malaysian officials know about the missing aircraft's last position.
The search area map now includes not only a wider area around the last publicly reported position of the aircraft, but also a new area in the Strait of Malacca, on the west side of Malaysia peninsula.
That raises new questions about how much authorities know – but aren't telling the public.
Rodzali Daud, the Royal Malaysian Air Force chief, told reporters Sunday that military radar recordings had revealed the possibility that the aircraft had turned back from its scheduled flight path.
That would be highly unusual and under normal circumstances the pilot would have called Malaysia air traffic control to signal a change in the original flight path.
If the aircraft had turned back toward Malaysia, and flown over it, that might explain why the search area now includes both the Gulf of Thailand and the Strait of Malacca. It wouldn't explain why an aircraft would overfly land, and possibly airports, without landing or radioing its position or its transponder giving away its position.
Normally, an aircraft transponder would enable air traffic controllers to locate its position. Assuming, of course, the transponder was still functioning and hadn't been turned off.
This new search zone, and the lack of any debris found in the original search area, has commenters on global aviation sites speculating (in the absence of new facts) that Malaysia Airways Flight 370 was hijacked or taken on a suicide mission by one of its pilots.
"Looking on the other side of the peninsula is just odd, it means they [Malaysia authorities] saw the airplane go over the peninsula on radar, or there are parts of the peninsula that lack radar coverage," writes Web500sjc, who's listed on Airliners.net as a commercial flight instructor in the US.
As another commenter noted, if the engines had died on a Boeing 777 at 35,000 feet, the glide slope would indicate that it could be about 100 miles from the last known location. The Strait of Malacca is more than 250 miles away.
Of course, Malaysian officials may simply be as confounded as everyone else. They certainly sound that way:
“Unfortunately, we have not found anything that appears to be an object from the aircraft, let alone the aircraft … There are many theories that have been said in the media; many experts around the world have contributed their expertise and knowledge about what could happen, what happened … We are puzzled as well,” said Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, Malaysia's civil aviation chief late Monday.

The hunt is still on. So far, leads received were either false or inaccurate. Not to mention that countries participating in the hunt, for obvious political reasons, are 'stingy' in sharing info. China is on track to become the world's largest economic superpower. ::) ;)
To make matters worse, plane, after losing contact, may have changed course and travelled for 4 - 5 hours. Which means could have gone as far as the Arabian peninsula.
US military satellites didn't register any midair explosion. So, plane may have nosedived into the sea or crashed into an island or safely landed in some airstrip. :-\
-
And speaking of airstrip, US and Russia have multitude of abandoned ones everywhere in this planet. Constructed during WWII and Cold War. :) ;)
-
Been reading update. So far, clueless. Leads turned up with nothing.
Pentagon got some indication might be somewhere in the Indian Ocean. Sending USS Kiddy to start search. A veteran pilot postulated a theory could be somewhere between Australia and Madagascar. Might as well say it's anywhere in this planet. Hehe :) ;)
Should this be a terrorist act, must have been well orchestrated.
Should smart grid be implemented full scale, consequences will be unthinkable if under cyberattack. And it's very easy. Even a Pinoy computer science dropout was able to hack Pentagon. :-\ ::)

US investigating possibility that missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 was ‘act of piracy’
News.com.au 4 HOURS AGO MARCH 15, 2014 6:30AM
INVESTIGATORS are examining the possibility the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines jet with 239 people on board was “an act of piracy”, a US official says.
The official, who wasn’t authorised to speak publicly, told AP news agency overnight while other theories are still being looked at key evidence for “human intervention” in the plane’s disappearance is that contact with its transponder stopped about a dozen minutes before a messaging system quit.
The official said it was also possible the plane may have landed somewhere.
Another communications system on the plane continued to “ping” a satellite for about four hours after contact was lost with the Boeing 777 during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing - an indication the plane may have continued to fly on for hours.
Meanwhile a US naval ship and surveillance plane are heading to the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal to search for the airliner.
Malaysian authorities said overnight they were not ruling out the possibility ofhijacking.
A P-8 Poseidon aircraft and a guided missile destroyer, the USS Kidd, were due to aid the international hunt for the jet as the search effort extended further west, Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steven Warren said overnight.
The Kidd was preparing to search the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal, he said.
“The P-8 will be searching a much larger search area ... the southern portion of the Bay of Bengal and the northern portion of the Indian Ocean”.
The Boeing 777 vanished off radar early last Saturday over the South China Sea.
Its fate has vexed investigators and Malaysia authorities have dramatically expanded the scope of the search.
The hunt initially focused on the South China Sea east of Malaysia - along the jet’s intended route.
But Malaysia’s government is now looking at a vast area, with 13 countries involved.

Ay nako, skipper! What movie have you been watching lately? Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounter of the Third Kind"? ??? Hehe :) ;)
Two theories postulated as possible causes are pilot suicide and hijacking.
Pilot Suicide. Why would the pilot go through elaborate measures? ??? Why not simply nosedive the plane into the sea outright? ::)
Hijacking. Believe this is what authorities fear most. Some terrorist group might be planning to stage another 9/11. :o
Whoever switched off the transponder and altered the plane's course (and, for 6 hrs, cleverly manoeuvred the navigation to baffle later investigation) must have a fair bit of knowledge in aviation and the plane's structure. Only the two pilots fit this description. The rest were merely ordinary crew members and passengers.
Except the two passengers with stolen passports. Who were they? :-\
Could they be Felix and RG? Pangitaa ra sla? ;D ;)
Oh, yeah, Felix is a jilted lover. Hehe :) ;)
jilted lover. A person that has been dumped somewhat randomly. Often the person starts drama with whomever dumped him/her and tries to play the victim when actually the other person is and tries to play a heartbreaker at the same time so it gives it away that they're still hurt.
One of my friend's ex-boyfriends is still upset four months after the break up. He keeps making up b.s. about her and saying that he broke up with her. Omg, he won't admit that he's a wreck without her. He's just a loser, nothing more than a jilted lover.

Live: Search for missing Malaysia Airlines moves to west of peninsula as records show it flew another 350 miles after disappearing
Mirror Mar 16, 2014 01:08 By Chris Richards, Ben Burrows, Richard Hartley-Parkinson
Officials believe they have made the first major breakthrough since the jet carrying 239 people vanished
1:08 am
New evidence is emerging about the missing Malaysia Airways flight - but are we really any closer to knowing what happened to the jet?
Theories about what happened to flight MH370 range from the plausible to the bizarre.
One is that the aircraft has been hijacked for later use as a flying bomb in a 9/11-style terrorist attack.
One of the oddest is that the passengers could even have been kidnapped for ransom.
11:16 pm
BREAKING:
Claims have emerged of a plot by Malaysian Islamists to hijack a passenger jet in a 9/11-style attack.
The Telegraph reports that an al-Qaeda informant told a court last week that a group of Malaysian men had planned to seize an aircraft by blasting open the cockpit door with a shoe bomb.
The paper reports that security experts are treating the evidence from a convicted British terrorist as “credible”.

Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: Any terrorist seizure of the plane ‘would have required one hell of a piece of planning’
ANDREW BUNCOMBE, JAMIE MERRILL SATURDAY 15 MARCH 2014
Flight MH370 weighs 250 tonnes, spans more than 60 metres and has been hunted by search teams from more than a dozen countries, but after more than a week the search for missing Malaysian Airlines jet is becoming vastly bigger. And vastly more complicated, amid suggestions of a “deliberate act” to take it off course.
The expansion came after leaked reports from US officials, suggestions of terrorism and the revelation from Malaysia's Prime Minister that investigators believed new satellite data showed “deliberate action by someone on the plane” had flown the aircraft and it's 239 passengers and crew of course for up to seven hours.
Speaking at a press conference in the Malaysian capital, Najib Razak said: “Clearly, the search for MH370 has entered a new phase. Over the last seven days, we have followed every lead and looked into every possibility… we hope this new information brings us one step closer to finding the plane.”
He added that, based on the data, investigators were now pursuing the belief that the plane's last location was along one of two possible corridors or arcs - a northern route stretching from the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to northern Thailand, or a southern one stretching from Indonesia to the vast emptiness of the Indian ocean.
And as police raided homes of the pilot and co-pilot, the Prime Minister said that, while investigators were still exploring “all possibilities”, attention was increasingly being focused on the possible role of the passengers or crew of the plane.
This weekend Malaysian officials, along with experts from the US National Transportation Safety Board, the Federal Aviation Administration, and Britain's Air Accidents Investigation Branch, continue to refine the new data, which originated from signals sent by the plane via the British company Inmarsat's satellite network over the Indian Ocean. The Independent on Sunday understands that these signals came from a “failsafe” function of an Inmarsat Swift 64 communications system fitted to the ill-fated aircraft.
The announcement by Mr Najib was the most definitive suggestion that investigators were exploring a possible hijacking or terrorism.
Aviation consultant Chris Yates said: “It's increasingly clear that the hand of some form of terrorism is at play here, whether from a group or one skilled individual. The levels of specialist aviation knowledge on display here cause me to cast my mind back to 9/11 when hijackers had acquired a level of technical and flight training.”
David Gleave, a former air crash investigator, added that any terrorist seizure of the plane “would have required one hell of a piece of planning”.
Phil Giles, a former air safety investigator who worked on the Lockerbie Bombing, said: “Taking over a Boeing 777 without experience or skill is akin to some Somalian bloke in a tiny boat trying to take over a super tanker and captain it. Unless the hijacker has a fair amount of technical and aviation knowledge he would have to rely on putting a gun to the pilot's head.”
In Malaysia this new information meant an end to the search in the South China Sea and a renewed focus on the Indian Ocean. At the same time officials were continuing to get radar data and other relevant information from the countries whose air space the two routes being examined pass through. The northern corridor would trace a busy route, passing northern Thailand and Burma and entering into China on the way towards central Asia.
The southern route, meanwhile, would pass over Indonesia and then the open waters of the southern Indian Ocean. The New York Timesreported that officials believed the southern corridor to be the most likely to have been taken by the plane. “The US Navy would not be heading toward Kazakhstan,” a person briefed on the investigation told the paper.
Other have suggested the complexity of the search and sensitivity of military radar and satellite information may have been a cause of delay, pointing to the fact that American newspapers have been briefed by the Pentagon and that the destroyer USS Kidd and a P-8 Poseidon search plane moved into the Andaman Sea and Bay of Bengal prior the Malaysian government's announcement on Saturday.
Tony Cable, an investigator who worked for the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch for 32 years, said: “The sensitivity of some of the military radar and satellite information here is clearly posing a problem for the investigation…. I suspect there is an awful lot more information that is known that is not being released.”
The last confirmed location of MH370 on civilian radar off Malaysia was at 1.31am last Saturday, about 40 minutes after it took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport. At that point it was heading north-east across the mouth of the Gulf of Thailand on what should have been a six-hour flight to Beijing.
After that it seemed the plane disappeared from civilian radar but showed up - as a blip - on radar used by the Malaysian military. The latest revelation shows that the Boeing 777 continued to leave the faintest traces, in a series of “pings” from its Inmarsat Swift 64 system.
This 20-year-old communications is device fitted to 90 per cent of the world's wide body jet aircraft and in the case of MH370 enhanced the operation of the aircraft's flight transponder and Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS), both of which were deliberately deactivated early in the flight.
The IoS understands that the disabling of the ACARS system enabled a failsafe “ping” mode in the Swift 64 system, which has been compared to an “I'm here” announcement. The last of these messages came at 8.11am local time last Saturday, more than seven-and-a-half hours after it took off.
When fully operational Flight MH370's ACARS and Swift 64 only offer very basic altitude and location information and The IoSunderstands the aircraft wasn't fitted with more sophisticated equipment on sale, which would have allowed investigators to gain a full GPS fix.
Communication between the aircraft and satellites is only possible when the plane is airborne and the final transmission however would have come towards the very end of flight MH370's endurance - officials in Kuala Lumpur said the plane was carrying sufficient fuel for 8 hours.
However through analysis of the position and view of the receiving geostationary Inmarsat satellite over the Indian Ocean has allowed officials to plot a “rough calculation” of the two “arcs” the plane may have taken, which has led to increased search emphasis on the Indian Ocean and wild speculation the aircraft may have travelled as far as Kazakhstan.
The revelations were reportedly welcomed by relatives of the passengers in China, who believe the development keeps alive the hope they may somehow be reunited with their loved ones. However the government in Beijing - which has 153 citizens on board the flight - urged Malaysia to continue providing it with “thorough and exact information” on the search, state news agency Xinhua said.

Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: Jet ‘hijacking’ began soon after take-off
SIMON CALDER SATURDAY 15 MARCH 2014
Flight MH370 was deliberately diverted as part of an audacious plan – and the jet was still flying seven-and-a-half-hours after take-off.
In the most dramatic development since the Boeing 777 went missing a week ago, it emerged that the malicious act began shortly after take-off from Kuala Lumpur.
The aircraft, with 239 passengers and crew on board, lost contact with air-traffic controllers on a flight from the Malaysian capital to Beijing early last Saturday morning.
One week after Malaysia Airlines announced the flight’s disappearance, the authorities finally revealed what they know. Malaysia’s prime minister, Najib Razak, said “with a high degree of certainty” that the aircraft was deliberately flown thousands of miles off course. From the information he provided, it appears that the jet may have reached as far as the Caspian Sea.
Air-traffic controllers lost voice contact with the flight deck when the aircraft was over the South China Sea, midway between Peninsular Malaysia and the southern tip of Vietnam. But the prime minister revealed that one communications system - known as ACARS, and used for data transmission – had been disabled significantly earlier in the flight. It was switched off while the plane was still flying over Malaysian territory north of Kuala Lumpur. Radio contact with at least one of the pilots took place after the data transmission system was turned off.
The aircraft’s transponder, which provides identification data and also handles the aircraft’s “hi-jack alarm”, is believed to have been switched off while the aircraft was over the South China Sea.
The revelations indicate that whoever was directing the plane – whether a hijacker or one of the pilots – had a plan; if the aim was to destroy the aircraft, it could simply have been downed at once.
The information about the duration of the flight came from satellite data provided by the London-based company, Inmarsat. Yesterday it emerged that electronic “pings” from the aircraft continued for over five hours after all other contact was lost. Evidence from Malaysia’s air force corroborated the theory that the plane turned from its north-north-east course to head west.
The final satellite contact was at 8.11am, five-and-a-half hours after the jet’s last known position. During that time, the aircraft could have flown 3,000 miles at its normal cruising speed.
The maximum range of the Boeing 777ER aircraft type is over 8,000 miles, but the flight was carrying only enough fuel for the planned 2,700-mile flight to Beijing plus a contingency for holding and diversions.
Mr Razak said: “Due to the type of satellite data, we are unable to confirm the precise position of the plane where it last made contact.” But some geographical clues are given by the satellite contact, and as a result two new corridors of land and sea are being studied. One is the south Indian Ocean west of Indonesia, where the possible intended destinations include Mauritius and Madagascar. The other is a swathe of land stretching from northern Thailand to the Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan border – on the edge of the Caspian Sea. It takes in the territory of a dozen countries, and their ambassadors have been summoned to a briefing in Kuala Lumpur.
Dozens of ships and aircraft deployed to comb the South China Sea have been stood down.
Two key questions remain. If the pilots were acting under duress, why did they not activate an emergency distress signal on the flight deck when events began? And were the crew not challenged about the disabled ACARS system?
It is believed that military surveillance may have revealed more about the plane’s movements, but for the moment, the families of the 227 passengers and 12 crew must endure yet more uncertainty.

Ay nako, skipper! What movie have you been watching lately? Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounter of the Third Kind"? ??? Hehe :) ;)
Two theories postulated as possible causes are pilot suicide and hijacking.
Pilot Suicide. Why would the pilot go through elaborate measures? ??? Why not simply nosedive the plane into the sea outright? ::)
Hijacking. Believe this is what authorities fear most. Some terrorist group might be planning to stage another 9/11. :o
Whoever switched off the transponder and altered the plane's course (and, for 6 hrs, cleverly manoeuvred the navigation to baffle later investigation) must have a fair bit of knowledge in aviation and the plane's structure. Only the two pilots fit this description. The rest were merely ordinary crew members and passengers.
Except the two passengers with stolen passports. Who were they? :-\
Could they be Felix and RG? Pangitaa ra sla? ;D ;)
Oh, yeah, Felix is a jilted lover. Hehe :) ;)
jilted lover. A person that has been dumped somewhat randomly. Often the person starts drama with whomever dumped him/her and tries to play the victim when actually the other person is and tries to play a heartbreaker at the same time so it gives it away that they're still hurt.
One of my friend's ex-boyfriends is still upset four months after the break up. He keeps making up b.s. about her and saying that he broke up with her. Omg, he won't admit that he's a wreck without her. He's just a loser, nothing more than a jilted lover.

Malaysia Airlines missing MH370: Jet may have flown under the radar, say investigators
YAHOO!7 AND AGENCIESMarch 17, 2014, 12:34 pm
Investigators believe the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 employed a dangerous flying technique called "terrain masking" to avoid appearing on radars in at least three countries.
The technique is often used by military pilots on stealth flights and authorities believe, based on the estimated time it spent in the air, that MH370 would have passed over at least three countries.

The Sydney Morning Herald Date March 17, 2014 - 12:28PM by Tom Allard
The missing Malaysia Airlines passenger jet was more likely to have travelled along a southern course near Australia, and should have been picked up by Australia's Jindalee radar network if it did so, a leading surveillance analyst said.
Investigators have identified two possible corridors for flight MH370 after it emerged its transponders were deliberately turned off and satellite data showed it flew for almost seven hours after veering off course in the Gulf of Thailand.
The southern arc took MH370 over Indonesia and down the Western Australian coast, about 1000km from land.
The northern trajectory goes towards northern Iran, passing through Pakistan and Afghanistan, the heartland of Al Qaeda and multiple Islamic extremist insurgencies.
While the route goes over countries renowned for security instability, the region is covered by multiple radar systems.
However, while the northern route goes over countries renowned for security instability, the region is covered by multiple radar systems.
"It's hard to believe it could go over northern Thailand undetected. They have extensive radar," said Des Ball, professor of strategic and defence studies at the Australian National University.
There are also radar installations operated by Myanmar, China, India and the US, among others, underneath the northern flight path. In addition, high tech US surveillance satellites also intently monitor the area as part of the war on terror.
"Going over land is more logical but it's hard to see how the plane wouldn't have been detected," said Professor Ball.
Even though MH370 turned off its transponders and disabled its secondary radar, military radar and some civilian radar would still be able to pick it up with what is known as primary radar.
Malaysia's military radar, for example, identified the plane as it tracked west across the country in the early hours of March 8 but failed to act.
Australia has one AP-3C Orion surveillance plane scouring the sea near the Cocos Islands, while the other is operating west of Malaysia, chief of the defence force General David Hurley said on Sunday.
There had been more than 50 hours of search time by the planes so far, he added.
But Defence declined to confirm whether its radar and surveillance assets were also being deployed to help the search for the missing plane, which vanished over the Gulf of Thailand with 239 people on board at 1.07am on March 8.
Professor Ball said the reach of Australia's powerful Jindalee over-the-horizon radar is 3000km and could be expected to have picked up the Boeing 777 jet as it traversed Indonesia on any southern route.
However, whether Jindalee, which targets beyond northern Australia, could precisely identify the plane is another matter, as it would have appeared as "just a dot on the screen", said Professor Ball.
Professor Ball said that MH370 data received by the satellite hovering over the Indian Ocean was basic, little more than a ping that could only be used to identify the two possible routes, the mirror image of each other in a 180 degree arc.
The last transmission came at 8.11am on March 8, when the plane would be about to run out of fuel.
Australia to expand assistance
Australia has redeployed a surveillance aircraft searching for the missing jet, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said on Monday.
Mr Abbott said he would be speaking with Malaysia later on Monday to ask what additional assistance Australia could offer to the investigation, which has been refocused to a vast area stretching from the border of Central Asian countries Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to northern Thailand and a southern corridor stretching from Indonesia to the southern ocean.
Australia had two AP-3C Orion surveillance planes assisting with the search, now in its second week,
“One of our Orions as I understand it has been redeployed to the Indian Ocean search,” Mr Abbott said.
“We've got two Orions which have been assisting with the search.
“They remain available to assist in whatever way the Malaysian authorities wish and it's my intention to talk later today with the Malaysians to see if there's additional help that Australia can offer.”
Mr Abbott said there would lessons for regional security from the incident and “I dare say some of those lessons will involve the tracking of aircraft”.
“At this point I think it's too soon to speculate,” he said.
“We've had a system which has worked pretty well up till now. We've suddenly had an incident, a terrible incident.
“It remains a profound mystery as to precisely what happened.
“Let's as far as we can get to the bottom of it and then decide whether there's anything that ought to be done differently.”

Hi folks,
Mat here from Inspectagame, this is the very first Vlog I have made and I wanted to make mention of the Malaysian Airlines MH370 and the new evidence that's pointing to a Hijack, which would lead to a possible Ransom or ransom demands.
Guys please share your thoughts on this one, thoughts and comments please, and please be respectful as there are 239 people on board the Aircraft that are right now still unaccounted for.

Philippines is well within range of the aircraft’s fuel supply.
The pilot and the co-pilot were professional commercial ones. No experience in dogfights. The stealthy manoeuvre of the plane could only have been done by seasoned fighter pilots. Trained in evading and eluding enemy planes, radars and spy satellites. And using small military jets. But the MH370 was a huge jumbo jet. Must be ace fighter pilots like Felix and RG. Reason both are missing in action. :D ;)
Both came from Saudi – Osama bin Laden’s training ground. Hehehe. :) ;) Indeed, the dots do connect. Both are dos desperadoes. Ideal candidates for the job. Must be those two blokes with stolen passports. ;D ;)
Belly landed in Ilihan farm. Nothing but recently planted dwarf coconut trees to obstruct. And skipper’s fragile retirement villa. Usa ka huyop lang, bongkag na. ;D ;D ;D

Aviation expert and former Malaysian Air Force instructor examines some theories about disappearance
Yahoo! News 14 hours ago.
NOTE: Aircraft expert Ian Black previously worked as a fighter weapons instructor for the Malaysian Air Force, and is author of two aircraft operations manuals, for the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom and the Royal Air Force's Tornado. He flew the Tornado in the first Gulf War and over Kosovo. He is now an A340 Airbus airliner captain with Virgin Atlantic. He spoke to Yahoo News UK about the mystery of missing MH370.
Could the aircraft have been ‘swapped’ mid-air?
Generally air traffic radars use something called a “Squawk” code – this is 4 digits, say "1234" – that is then used to transmit information to the ground radar of the aircraft’s position and other relevant detail. This is very easily disabled – it is operated with a simple on/off switch. The Boeing 777 has two separate systems for safety in the event of failure.
There is another angle which, I think, might be a possibility: That the MH370 switched codes. If MH370 had a code of, say 4376, then it would be pretty easy to get another aircraft, say a Gulfstream 5 private jet, to fly up behind it and swap codes. The Gulfstream sets its "Squawk' code to the same as MH370's code of 4376, then the B777 takes on the Gulfstream's code, and they then split... It would certainly make it easier for the B777 to continue on undetected. [Destination: Ilihan Farm Tsk3X!] :D ;)
Why did the Malaysian air force not scramble their fighters?
I actually trained the Malaysian air Force at Kuantan Air Base on the east coast of Malaysia, and they have two MIG-29 fighter aircraft sat on alert 24/7, ready to scramble should an unknown aircraft enter their airspace...why were they not scrambled?
Most countries in this region spend billions of dollars on defense – in particular, air defense – protecting their international airspace and waters.
The Indian Air Force have stated they only turn on their radars on a "need-to" basis – I think that's very unbelievable. I find it almost impossible that a Boeing 777 could be flying over land – whether that's Vietnam, Malaysia, India or further north without anyone seeing it. [Bcoz it went to Ilihan Farm.] ::) :D
Could one pilot have ‘knocked out’ the entire passenger section?
Malaysia Airlines have stated that the co-pilot and captain did not ask to fly together and it was natural rostering that had them crewed on the same flight, so we could probably say that the two were not working as a team.
On all airliners now there is what’s known as a “locked door” policy. That is to say the flight crew are locked in behind a ballistic door, and only allow authorized people in via a video entry system. However, with only two pilots, if one pilot leaves the flight deck to visit the bathroom, he cannot get back in unless the other pilot opens the door. Although there is an emergency code, it is possible to lock the other pilot out. In this scenario you would imagine the other pilot [and passengers] would do everything to gain entry and start using phones, etc. In the cabin there is a medical emergency system, which allows the crew to talk to various medical centers from the cabin.
My only thought on this was the person left in the cabin could have put on his oxygen mask – turned off the passenger oxygen emergency supply and depressurized the aircraft – [and] in a few minutes all the people in the cabin would be unconscious. The pilot could then repressurize the aircraft and remove his mask and fly normally with 250 [passengers] behind him incapacitated – not impossible.
It wouldn’t be difficult for one of the two pilots to either spike the other one's drink as well, or simply kill him behind the locked door – we carry an axe in the flight deck – for emergencies.
Why it’s not likely to have been an accident
Boeing tends to be fairly conservative in their approach to design, sticking to tried-and-tested forms. The B777 has only had three confirmed write-offs since its introduction to service in 1995, and more remarkably, these have all happened on the ground.
So it's quick to see that in 20 years service, no Boeing 777 has blown up in mid-air, had an in-flight fire causing a crash or any other major incident. So what possible causes could lead to a B777 vanishing from the sky?
The B777 has a dual INS/ GPS navigation system that guides the aircraft along airways – their preordained routes – with an accuracy of a few meters. The only time aircraft leave the airway is to avoid bad weather – thunderstorms or clear air turbulence, or occasionally, in the Far East, volcanic ash clouds. As far as I’m aware, there was no bad weather along its intended track, so there would be no reason to divert off course.
Why a bomb or depressurisation is unlikely
If it was a bomb, these are often designed to detonate on a pressure switch, so as the aircraft reaches a certain altitude, the pressure device will detonate, and the bomb will go off. The bomb will normally be in the hold and cause a rapid loss of pressurization, and/or the aircraft to break up. As no wreckage has been found on the original track – within 100 miles of Malaysia, which is where any pressure-activated device would have detonated – I think we can count out a bomb.
Perhaps there was a rapid depressurization? For example, a door [or] cargo door blows open, the aircraft loses pressurization and the oxygen masks, for some reason, fail to come down.
This is unlikely, as the flight crew have a separate system to the passengers and it would need multiple failures for both to go wrong. Also, in the event of losing cabin pressure, the crew would at least have a few seconds, maybe minutes, to put out a mayday call. So again, this would be highly unlikely.
Could the aircraft still navigate with its communications turned off?
For guidance, the Boeing 777 uses a mixture of inertial navigation and GPS. The inertial navigation system is quite old in terms of technology – it dates from the 1970s. But it's very reliable, and will allow aircraft to fly accurately along air routes. Its biggest advantage is that it is an “onboard” independent system, so therefore, unjammable by outsiders. The B777 has three individual systems to cater for failure and or error. They are also used to supply other information to vital flight control systems, so are therefore never turned off.
In addition to [inertial navigation], modern airlines use GPS, the same as in every modern car. Normally, the information is mixed with the INS to give what is known as a “blended” position, i.e., all the information is mixed together to give a very accurate position – accurate to within a few centimeters. The GPS is pretty much unjammable. Airliners normally take information from up to 5 satellites. It can easily be turned off in the flight deck, but as it does not transmit your position and is therefore “covert,” it never is turned off.
The likeliest explanation
In my view suicide looks unlikely – he would have to have been very lucky to kill the other pilot, then fly undetected to a remote spot in the sea and either crash or run out of fuel – it doesn’t add up. Why wouldn’t he have just flown into the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur?
At this stage I have an open mind as to what’s happened – I sadly, however, don’t think it’s an accident. Which leads me to think it must have crash-landed over water – if it’s landed on a remote strip, even camouflaging it would be hard. If it has crashed into the sea, wreckage will be found – perhaps not in the next week, but eventually it will be found.

News.com.au 3 DAYS AGO MARCH 17, 2014 8:00AM
AN ANTI-TERROR expert says flight MH370 could have been hijacked using a mobile phone or USB stick.
Dr Sally Leivesley, a former scientific adviser in Britain’s Home Office, floated the extraordinary theory in an interview with the Sunday Express. Dr Leivesley now runs a company which trains businesses and governments to counter terrorist attacks.
“It might well be the world’s first cyber hijack," Dr Leivesley said.
“It is looking more and more likely that the control of some systems was taken over in a deceptive manner, either manually, so someone sitting in a seat overriding the autopilot, or via a remote device turning off or overwhelming the systems.
“A mobile phone could have been used to do so, or a USB stick.”
Dr Leivesley said a hacker could potentially change the plane’s altitude, speed and direction by sending radio signals to its flight management system. She claimed the threat was exposed at a science conference in China last year.
“What we are finding now is that it is possible with a mobile phone to initiate a signal to a preset piece of malicious software, or malware, in the computer that initiates a whole set of instructions,” Dr Leivesley told the Express.
“It is possible for hackers, be they part of organised crime or with government backgrounds, to get into the main computer network of the plane through the in-flight, on-board entertainment system.”
Last April, security expert and former pilot Hugo Teso claimed a plane could be hijacked using an Android smartphone. He created an app called PlaneSpoilt to demonstrate the theory.
“You can use this system to modify approximately everything related to the navigation of the plane,” Mr Teso said at a security conference in Amsterdam.
On Saturday, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak confirmed flight MH370’s disappearance was “consistent with deliberate action” and said authorities were refocusing their investigation into the crew and passengers on board.
Police visited the homes of pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah and his copilot Fariq Abdul Hamid on Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile, the nation’s defence minister Hishammuddin Hussein said foreign intelligence agencies had been asked to help by doing background checks on the flight’s passengers.
Dr Leivesley said whoever is responsible for flight MH370’s disappearance likely has “a very sophisticated systems engineering understanding”. ??? [A Pinoy computer science dropout was able to hack Pentagon!]
“This is a very early version of what I would call a smart plane, a fly-by-wire aircraft controlled by electronic signals.” Dr Leivesley said.

Yep. If this turns out to be a cyber hijack, gonna be a nightmare confronting.
But gotta have cybersecurity planned before installing to safeguard against cyberattack.
To compound the problem ... the world has a dearth of electrical engineers not to mention that the ones around are getting old -- an endangered species. Hehe :) ;)
Yeah, mate, the world is having a nightmare confronting the challenges of the century. ::)
Cybersecurity is yet to be conceived. ::) ::) ::)

theguardian.com, Saturday 22 March 2014 08.37 AEST
Malaysia on Friday asked the US to provide undersea surveillance technology to help in the search for the wreckage of the missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777, Pentagon officials said.
The request came as a near two-week search failed to find any debris from the plane that disappeared off the radar after taking off from Kuala Lumpur on 8 March.
In a phone call to defence secretary Chuck Hagel, Malaysia's defence minister and acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein “requested that the US consider providing some undersea surveillance equipment”, Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby said.
Hagel assured his counterpart that he would “assess the availability and utility of military undersea technology for such a task and provide him an update in the very near future” ,Kirby said in a statement.
Officials did not say precisely what equipment the Pentagon might provide but the US military has invested heavily in robotic technology designed for undersea surveillance against enemy submarines or torpedoes.
The Malaysian minister thanked Hagel for the US navy's assistance in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared with 239 passengers and crew in an unprecedented aviation mystery. Two US Navy maritime surveillance planes, a P-3 Orion and P-8 Poseidon, have been taking part in the search.
The P-8 has flown with Australian aircraft in a search of the southern Indian Ocean, while the P-3 – which had been combing an area in the Bay of Bengal – is due to join the search in the southern zone, officials said.
A search effort on Friday of a remote stretch of Indian Ocean concluded “without any sightings”, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said in a statement.

BREAKING NEWS - US may give Sonar Gear to Malaysia for Plane Search
BREAKING NEWS - US may give Sonar Gear to Malaysia for Plane Search; (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfOi7D_jUmM#)
-
Published on Mar 21, 2014
The Pentagon is weighing a request from Malaysia for sonar equipment to bolster the so-far frustrated search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, as concerns grow that any debris may have sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Malaysia's Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein asked for undersea surveillance equipment in a phone call with U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, as the Pentagon tallied $2.5 million in costs so far in the nearly two-week-old search.
"No specific request was made for any particular type. It was just a general request for us to help them locate the wreckage and/or the black box," Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby told Reuters on Friday.
"The Secretary said he would consider the request, that he would examine whether we had anything that was both available and potentially helpful and that he would get back to the minister in the very near future."
The U.S. Navy has a variety of active and passive sonar systems, some of which search the ocean for objects by emitting sound "pings" and monitoring the echoes that bounce back and others that listen for sound like an undersea microphone.
One system, called a "Towed Pinger Locator", is towed behind ships and is used to listen for downed Navy and commercial aircraft at depths of up to 20,000 feet (6000 meters), according to the U.S. Navy's website.
The U.S. military loaned this technology to France during its two-year effort to locate the black box from an Air France jetliner that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean in June 2009.
The P-8 and P-3 spy planes, which the United States is already deploying in the Malaysian jetliner search, also carry "sonobuoys" that can be dropped into the sea and use sonar signals to search the waters below.
"Sound actually travels a long distance under water, depending on the conditions," Kirby said.
"Temperature, current, the underwater topography, all of these things change the way sound travels underwater. But sound can travel a long, long way."
One big question will be where to drop any sonar equipment.
Investigators suspect Flight MH370, which took off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing shortly after midnight on March 8, was deliberately diverted thousands of miles from its scheduled path. They say they are focusing on hijacking or sabotage but have not ruled out technical problems.
There has been no confirmed sign of wreckage so far and Australia's Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss cautioned on Friday that anything once floating "may have slipped to the bottom."
Hishammuddin, who is also acting transport minister, has acknowledged that the clock was ticking.
The plane's "black box" voice and data recorder only transmits an electronic signal for about 30 days before its battery dies, after which it will be far more difficult to locate.
"We've got three more weeks to find those pingers on the black boxes -- or else this plane may never be found," said Alan Diehl, who spent 40 years investigating aircraft accidents for the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. military.
He said the Pentagon should send submarines and more aircraft.
In its first disclosure of the cost of the U.S. search, the Pentagon estimated about $2.5 million had been spent so far. It added the U.S. Defense Department had set aside about $4 million -- enough to cover operations through early April.

Missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370: Secret services involvement in investigation sparks speculation over terrorism
The Independent MONDAY 31 MARCH 2014
Malaysian authorities have revealed secret services from the UK, the US and China have been involved in the investigations into the disappearance of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, adding to speculation that the plane’s disappearance could be down to terrorism.
MI6, the CIA and Chinese agencies have been looking into the flight simulator found in the home of the flight’s Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, though acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein said the FBI has found nothing sinister in the device.
He said the Inspector General of Police has highlighted the “four possible scenarios of what could have caused the plane to disappear, which are terrorism, hijacking, personal and psychological problems, or technical failure.
“These scenarios have been discussed at length with different intelligence agencies,” he added.
Meanwhile, Chinese relatives of the passengers on board the missing Malaysia airlines flight MH370 have flown to Kuala Lumpur in frustration to try and find answers from authorities, as an American naval officer has said the search could take years.
The relatives claim they have not been given enough new information from authorities dealing with the search, and on Sunday held a press conference in which they held up banners and the Chinese flag, chanting: “We want evidence, truth, dignity.”
The group, of which some have accused Malaysian withholding information, held up banners that read: “You must return relatives of MH370, no strings attached”.
They have demanded an apology from authorities for its handling of the disaster, and for Prime Minister Najib Razak’s earlier statement that suggested the plane had crashed with no survivors.
Two-thirds of the 227 passengers on board the flight that went missing on 8 March were Chinese. Jiang Hui, the relatives’ designated representative, said the group felt the decision that there would be no survivors was made without sufficient evidence.
Malaysia’s acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein said on Saturday the search for survivors would continue, claiming “we are hoping against hope that we will find survivors”.
But a U.S. naval officer on Sunday suggested the search could take years.
U.S. Navy Captain Mark Matthews told journalists at Stirling Naval Base in Perth, Australia: “Right now the search area is basically the size of the Indian Ocean, which would take an untenable amount of time to search.”
He added: “If you compare this to the Air France flight 447, we had much better positional information of where that aircraft went into the water.” The Air France flight which crashed in 2009 near Brazil was missing for two years before it was found.
Captain Matthews is in charge of the U.S. Towed Pinger Locator (TPL), an unmanned underwater vehicle designed to locate the aircraft’s black box, which can trace pings emitted from as deep as 6,000 meters underwater. It has been loaded onto the Australian warship Ocean Shield as it sets off to the search area along with other acoustic detection equipment.
Ships from China and Australia managed to retrieve “objects from the ocean” on Saturday, but none have been “confirmed or related” to flight MH370, according to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, which is overseeing the search.
There are now 10 ships and 10 aircraft searching a massive area in the Indian Ocean to the west of Perth, in a race to find the crucial black box recorder before its batteries are expected to die in the coming days.
The search zone is roughly the size of Poland and it is expected to take Ocean Shield three to four days to travel the 1,150 miles from Perth to reach the designated area.
The black box could hold the key to understanding what happened to the flight when it disappeared three weeks ago. The device consists of two boxes that record vital information; one is a cockpit recorder that stores conversations and other noises from the area, while the other records a stream of flight information.

Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 now classified as a criminal investigation
news.com.au APRIL 02, 2014 3:39PM
THE investigation into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 has been classified as a criminal investigation, according to reports in the Wall Street Journal citing Malaysia’s police chief.
As the search for the missing Boeing 777-200ER continues into its 25th day, a series of updates linked to the newspaper’s Twitter feed quoted police chief Khalid Abu Bakar as saying police had taken more than 170 statements for the ongoing probe, and would interview more people.
The Wall Street Journal said Mr Abu Bakar had said the investigation into the missing plane, which disappeared on March 8 carrying 239 passengers and crew, had been classified as a criminal investigation.
However, he said any investigation findings would not be revealed at this time as it may impact a later prosecution, but conceded “we may not even know real cause” after it was concluded. According to the Journal, Mr Abu Bakar said the investigation into MH370 Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah’s home-made flight simulator remained inconclusive, and that they were awaiting expert’s reports.
Malaysian authorities handed over flight simulator hard drives to US authorities, including the FBI, after discovering information had been deleted.
‘WE CAN’T LET ANOTHER FLIGHT VANISH’
As the so-far fruitless search for the missing plane continues, the aviation industry has announced it will create a taskforce to make recommendations for continuously tracking commercial airliners because “we cannot let another aircraft simply vanish’’.
The first of nine planes headed out to the search zone about 1,500km west of Perth this morning and another nine ships continue to scour the area, with authorities warning the 25-day hunt for the Malaysia Airlines plane “could drag on for a long time”.
Last night, Malaysian investigators said they were scrutinising the last-known conversation between the Boeing 777 and ground control but could not find nothing suspicious.

April 6 2014 Breaking News ping sound detected by Chinese consistent of black box (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvnoOObx3Kk#ws)

By Steve Almasy, Catherine E. Shoichet and Ivy Sam, CNN April 7, 2014 -- Updated 0252 GMT (1052 HKT)
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (CNN) -- Along with new signs that searchers could be nearing the missing Malaysia Airlines plane, a fresh mystery surfaced Sunday.
The aircraft skirted Indonesian airspace as it went off the grid and veered off course, a senior Malaysian government source told CNN.
The new analysis of the flight's path means the plane may have been taken along a route designed to avoid radar detection, the source said.
But why would someone steer the plane that way, and where is it now?
Those are key questions that investigators are trying to answer -- and fast.
The HMS Echo, a British navy ship equipped with advanced detection gear, sailed into the area of the southern Indian Ocean on Monday morning (Sunday afternoon ET) where a Chinese crew had detected two audio signals.
And an Australian navy vessel carrying sophisticated U.S. listening technology is investigating a sound it picked up in a different patch of the ocean.
Investigators hope the signals could be locator beacons from the plane's data recorders, but they're not sure yet.
Time could be running out. It might be only a few hours or a few days before the pingers aboard the plane stop transmitting for good.
The batteries inside the beacons, which are designed to start sending signals when a plane crashes into water, last about 30 days after the devices are activated.
That 30th day has come -- though experts have said it's possible that they could last several days longer if they were at their full strength.
Plane said to have flown around Indonesia
As searchers tried to find the aircraft, investigators pieced together new details about the plane's path.
After reviewing radar track data from neighboring countries, officials have concluded that the passenger jet curved north of Indonesia before turning south toward the southern Indian Ocean, a senior Malaysian government source told CNN on Sunday.
Whoever was flying the plane, the source said, could have been trying to avoid radar detection.

News.com.au 32 MINUTES AGO APRIL 11, 2014 7:14PM
RESCUE teams are now within “several” kilometres of what they are now confident are the black box flight recorders from missing Malaysian plane MH370, Prime Minister Tony Abbott has revealed.
But he said they were now engaged in a race against time to find it as the signal starts to fade.
The Prime Minister will meet personally with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing this afternoon to update him on the latest efforts to find the black box, hinting that it would soon be located.
“We have very much narrowed down the search area ... we have now had a series of detections, some for quite a long period of time.
“It’s now getting to the stage that the signal from what we are very confident is from the black box is starting to fade.
“We are hoping to get as much information as we can before the signals finally expire.
“We have very much narrowed down the search area.
But the PM said he did not want to reveal any more details out of respect to the Chinese families, until he met with President Xi tonight in Beijing.
“I really don’t want to say more than that,” he said.
The PM later has described the loss of Malaysian flight MH370 as one of the “great mysteries of our time”.

Regardless, don't think will answer the mystery. Most plausible theory is cyber hijacking. And that's really2X scary. :o
Reminds me of the movie "Telefon" starring Charles Bronson. About normal people leading normal lives but really have a mission -- sleeper agents. The mission is kickstarted by a message received via letter, phone call, whatever.
Message was,
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep, ..."

BBC News 8 June 2014 Last updated at 15:39
A fund-raising drive has been launched by relatives of some passengers on the missing Malaysian plane to seek information on flight MH370.
The campaign, spearheaded by an Australian businessman, aims to raise at least $5m (£2.9m)" to encourage a whistleblower to come forward".
Flight MH370 went missing on 8 March as it flew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Officials say they are reviewing search data, having failed to find any trace of the plane so far.
They continue to survey the sea floor and are bringing in specialist equipment,
Using satellite data, officials have concluded that the airliner, which had 239 people on board, ended its journey in the Indian Ocean, north-west of the Australian city of Perth.
A submersible robot carried out an extensive search of the area in the Indian Ocean where acoustic signals had been detected, but could not locate the plane's flight recorders.
There is no explanation for the plane's disappearance.
The "Reward MH370" project is being co-ordinated by Ethan Hunt, an Australian who lives in Hong Kong but has no connection with any of the missing plane passengers.
Mr Hunt told the BBC: "I came up with the idea of crowd-funding the reward. It took me eight weeks to contact family members. In the beginning, no-one was interested, but then a couple of them did come on board."
"Somewhere, somebody knows the answers to what happened to the flight and possibly where the flight is," he said, adding that it could be someone linked to secret services or someone linked to terrorist networks.
The campaign says it is being led by five of the relatives.
Sarah Bajc, whose partner Philip Wood was on board, said families wanted to look at the tragedy with "a fresh set of eyes".
"Governments and agencies have given it their best shot but have failed to turn up a single shred of evidence, either because of a faulty approach or due to intentional misdirection by one or more individuals," she said.
Danica Weeks, wife of Paul Weeks, another missing passenger, said: "We've been cut off so many times at the gate that we're just now having to take things into our own hands, think outside the box and just try and do something to find this plane."

Here are 10 questions about what happened to the Boeing 777 that disappeared after leaving Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing on 8 March, with 239 people on board.
1. Why did the plane make a sharp left turn?
Military radar logs show flight MH370 turned unexpectedly west when it diverted from its planned flight path, by which time the plane's transponder had already been switched off, and its last ACARS datalink transmission sent.
Sudden turns like this are "extremely rare", according to Dr Guy Gratton of Brunel University's Flight Safety Lab. He says the only real reason pilots are likely to make such a manoeuvre is if there's a serious problem on the plane which makes them decide to divert to a different destination, to get the aircraft on the ground.
That could be a fire or sudden decompression, according to David Barry, an expert on flight data monitoring at Cranfield University.
Malicious intent - by a pilot or intruder - is another possibility.
But unless the "black box" flight recorders are found, whatever happened in the cockpit at that moment will remain in the realms of speculation.
2. Is it reasonable to speculate that a pilot could have intended to kill himself?
There has been much speculation in the media that suicide might have been behind the loss of the plane.
It wouldn't be the first time it's happened. The crashes of Egypt Air flight 990 in 1999 and Silk Air flight 185 in 1997 are both thought to have been caused deliberately by a pilot, though the view has been contested. The Aviation Safety Network says there have been eight plane crashes linked to pilot suicide since 1976.
So far, no evidence has been released from searches of the homes of Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah and his co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid that back up any similar explanation for MH370. There has been speculation that Shah may have been upset after breaking up with his wife, but there is so far no reliable source for his state of mind. It's been reported police are still examining a flight simulator found in the captain's home.
Barry says the apparent turning off of certain systems might give weight to the theory, but "pilot suicide is a theory like any other". Gratton agrees. "There simply isn't any evidence to prove or disprove it," he says.
3. Is a hijack scenario even possible?
Airliners have been fitted with strengthened flight deck doors - intended to prevent intruders from taking control - since 9/11. David Learmount, safety editor at Flight International magazine, says they are "bulletproof" and "couldn't be penetrated with an axe".
Sylvia Wrigley, light aircraft pilot and author of Why Planes Crash, agrees it's unlikely anyone would be able to force their way in. "Even if the door was being broken down, they wouldn't be able to get in before there'd been a mayday call, unless the pilots were incapacitated," she says.
However, one former pilot, who did not wish to be named, has suggested there is theoretically a way to disable the lock and get into the flight deck.
But in any case, however secure the door, there are times when the door is open - when a member of the crew either visits the toilet or has to check on something in the cabin. It's always been pointed out that it would be possible to rush the cockpit when this is the case. Some airlines, including Israel's El Al, have double doors to guard against this scenario. Gratton says there's a procedure which requires a member of the cabin crew to guard the door when it's opened.
But even in the event of hijackers rushing the cockpit, it would be easy for either crew member to send a distress signal.
The security of the cockpit door offers protection against intruders, but it also prevents action being taken if something does go wrong. Last month the co-pilot of an Ethiopian Airlines flight waited for the pilot to go to the toilet before hijacking the aircraft and flying it to Switzerland.
There's also the possibility that a pilot invited a passenger in. Photographs have emerged of the co-pilot of MH370 entertaining teenage tourists in an aircraft cockpit during a previous flight.
Boeing said it would be inappropriate to comment on an ongoing investigation.
4. Is there an accidental scenario that stands up to scrutiny?
So far most theories have been based on the assumption that the communications systems and the plane's transponder were deliberately disabled, a view endorsed by Malaysian officials.
However, Wrigley believes it's possible a sequence of events may have taken the plane so far off course by accident. "Something could have gone wrong in stages. A fire could have taken out part of the plane, or led to some systems failing, but left the plane intact. Then there could have been decompression - not an explosive decompression, but a gradual one," she says.
Wrigley cites the Helios Airways flight 522 which crashed into a mountain in Greece in 2005 after a loss of cabin pressure and lack of oxygen incapacitated the crew, but left the plane flying on autopilot, as an example. "I'm not saying it's a likely scenario, but it's not impossible," she says.
Pilots have pointed out that one of the very first actions in many emergency drills is to send a message to air traffic control or some other form of signal. For a purely accidental scenario to make sense, whatever initial event took place must have simultaneously knocked out all regular means to communicate with the ground.
5. Why was no action taken when the plane's transponder signal went off?
MH370's transponder - which communicates with ground radar - was shut down as the aircraft crossed from Malaysian air traffic control into Vietnamese airspace over the South China Sea.
If a plane disappeared in Europe, Barry says someone in air traffic control would have noticed and raised the alarm pretty quickly. Gratton agrees. "In Europe handover is extremely slick.
"At the very least I'd expect air traffic controllers to try and contact a nearby aircraft to try and establish direct contact. Pilots frequently use TCAS [traffic collision avoidance system], which detects transponders of other aircraft to ensure they aren't too close to each other," he adds.
However Steve Buzdygan, a former BA 777 pilot, says that from memory, there's a gap or "dead spot" of about 10 minutes in the VHF transmission before the plane would have crossed into Vietnamese airspace.
Learmount says it's also perfectly feasible that nobody on the ground noticed the plane's disappearance. "Malaysian air traffic control had probably handed it over to the Vietnamese and forgotten about it. There could have been a five-minute delay before anyone noticed the plane hadn't arrived - a gap in which nobody pressed the alarm button," he says.
Even if air traffic control did notice the plane was amiss, they wouldn't necessarily have made it public, he adds.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam says the plane failed to check in as scheduled at 0121 with air traffic control in Ho Chi Minh City. However,an unnamed pilot flying a 777 heading for Japan says he briefly established contact with MH370 minutes after he was asked to do so by Vietnamese air traffic control.
6. Why isn't it easier to track missing planes by military satellite?
The search effort on seas some 2,500km (1,500 miles) to the south-west of the Australian city of Perth has relied on images provided by commercial satellite companies.
Dan Schnurr, chief technology officer at Geospatial Insight, says there are 20 known satellites that have a resolution capable of obtaining these images in the "vast tracts of the ocean passing over the poles". Of those, probably about 10 of them capture images on a daily basis.
The images are beamed down from the satellites in very near real time, and are probably on the ground within two or three hours of image capture, he says. The delay in detecting valuable images is down to the time it takes to analyse the large volume of imagery.
There are also satellite sources owned by the military and government, but these have not been prominent in the search. This has led to some speculation that the fate of the plane was known about earlier in the search, but not revealed.
Laurence Gonzales, author of flight 232: A Story of Disaster and Survival, says some nations are bound to have more sophisticated surveillance systems than they are letting on. "A very small, fast ballistic missile can be picked up easily, so how can they lose a big, slow-moving object like a jumbo jet? It tells me somewhere in the angles of power in the world someone knows where the plane is but doesn't want to talk about it, probably for reasons of national security because they don't want to reveal the sophistication of the material they have... that their satellite technology is so good it can read a label on a golf ball," he says.
But Gratton says military satellites looking for ballistic missiles probably wouldn't have thrown up much useful data because they wouldn't have been calibrated to pick up aircraft of this size.
"This aircraft was seven miles up and travelled at three-quarters of the speed of sound. Ballistic missiles go up to four or five times the speed of sound, and 30 to 50 miles up - they have very different profiles," he says.
7. Did the plane glide into the sea or plunge after running out of fuel?
The MH370's final moments seem to depend on whether the plane was still being flown by a pilot.
"If it was under control, the plane was capable of being glided. The Airbus that went into the New York's Hudson River lost both engines - which is an identical outcome to running out of fuel - and the pilot managed to land on the water," Gratton says.
Barry agrees there could have been a gentle descent. "Aircraft of this size will normally fly or glide over 50 miles before they hit the sea if they run out of fuel," he says. However, if no-one was at the controls, he says the descent could have been "pretty severe".
8. Would the passengers have known something was wrong?
If a major malfunction had not occurred, it is unclear whether passengers would have known anything was awry, especially if there were no obvious signs of a struggle onboard. Joe Pappalardo, senior editor at Popular Mechanics magazine, says in most scenarios where a plane flies off course for hours, passengers can remain oblivious. At 01:00, many would probably have been asleep. In the morning, the astute might have worked out the Sun was in the wrong position.
Malaysian authorities have said the plane rose to 45,000ft, before falling to 23,000ft, after it changed course. If that's the case, passengers might have felt the loss of altitude, according to Pappalardo.
However one theory is that the plane's apparent climb could have been designed to induce hypoxia - oxygen deprivation - which could have knocked people unconscious and even killed them.
Wrigley thinks it could have played out in one of two ways. "In the horror story version passengers would have realised something was wrong as the plane climbed - and a decompression event would have led to oxygen masks coming down, and an awareness that oxygen was limited. A better scenario is they didn't know anything had happened until impact," she says.
9. Why didn't passengers use their mobile phones?
One commonly asked question is why, if it had been obvious something was wrong, passengers wouldn't have used mobile phones to call relatives and raise the alarm. This seems especially puzzling in light of the example of United flight 93, where passengers communicated with people on the ground after the plane was hijacked during 9/11.
It's been stated that it's extremely unlikely that anyone could get mobile signal on an airliner at 30,000ft. Barry agrees the chances of a mobile phone working on the plane were "virtually impossible". "It can be hard to get a signal on a remote road, let alone seven miles up, away from mobile phone masts, travelling at 500mph," he says.
10. Why can't planes be set up to give full real-time data to a satellite?
Arguably the most baffling thing to a layperson about the disappearance of MH370 is how it is even possible for a plane of this size to disappear so easily. In an era when people are used to being able to track a stolen smartphone, it's perplexing that switching off a couple of systems can apparently allow an airliner to vanish.
Barry says the technology exists to allow planes to give off full real-time data. The problem is planes are "snapshots in time from when they are designed".
"We're doing research into devices that will allow aircraft to start transmitting information by satellite when something unusual like a fire or decompression happens, but it's hard to fit things into a plane retrospectively.
"The 777 went into service in the early 90s... the technology is of that era," he says.
However, Gratton says ACARS would have done the job if it hadn't been turned off. A more complex satellite system would also be open to that risk, he argues, unless the industry wanted to go with a system that couldn't be manually switched off, and that would come with other risks.
"It's not a particularly easy question. Is the bigger risk an aircraft going missing, or electronics overheating? Both situations can't be met," he says.

Regardless, don't think will answer the mystery. Most plausible theory is cyber hijacking. And that's really2X scary. :o
Reminds me of the movie "Telefon" starring Charles Bronson. About normal people leading normal lives but really have a mission -- sleeper agents. The mission is kickstarted by a message received via letter, phone call, whatever.
Message was,

But I have promises to keep,

Cybersecurity technology is still at its infant stage. A mere Pinoy computer science dropout was able to hack Pentagon.
To compound the problem, the world is confronted with a dearth of electrical engineers for tackling the problem. Yep, the electrical engineer is an endangered species. ::) :-\

AN ANTI-TERROR expert says flight MH370 could have been hijacked using a mobile phone or USB stick.
Dr Sally Leivesley, a former scientific adviser in Britain’s Home Office, floated the extraordinary theory in an interview with the Sunday Express. Dr Leivesley now runs a company which trains businesses and governments to counter terrorist attacks.
“It might well be the world’s first cyber hijack," Dr Leivesley said.
“It is looking more and more likely that the control of some systems was taken over in a deceptive manner, either manually, so someone sitting in a seat overriding the autopilot, or via a remote device turning off or overwhelming the systems.
“A mobile phone could have been used to do so, or a USB stick.”
Dr Leivesley said a hacker could potentially change the plane’s altitude, speed and direction by sending radio signals to its flight management system. She claimed the threat was exposed at a science conference in China last year.
“What we are finding now is that it is possible with a mobile phone to initiate a signal to a preset piece of malicious software, or malware, in the computer that initiates a whole set of instructions,” Dr Leivesley told the Express.
“It is possible for hackers, be they part of organised crime or with government backgrounds, to get into the main computer network of the plane through the in-flight, on-board entertainment system.”
Last April, security expert and former pilot Hugo Teso claimed a plane could be hijacked using an Android smartphone. He created an app called PlaneSpoilt to demonstrate the theory.
“You can use this system to modify approximately everything related to the navigation of the plane,” Mr Teso said at a security conference in Amsterdam.
On Saturday, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak confirmed flight MH370’s disappearance was “consistent with deliberate action” and said authorities were refocusing their investigation into the crew and passengers on board.
Police visited the homes of pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah and his copilot Fariq Abdul Hamid on Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile, the nation’s defence minister Hishammuddin Hussein said foreign intelligence agencies had been asked to help by doing background checks on the flight’s passengers.
Dr Leivesley said whoever is responsible for flight MH370’s disappearance likely has “a very sophisticated systems engineering understanding”. ??? [A Pinoy computer science dropout was able to hack Pentagon!]
“This is a very early version of what I would call a smart plane, a fly-by-wire aircraft controlled by electronic signals.” Dr Leivesley said.

Flight MH370: Missing jet pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah is prime suspect because he cleared his diary
www.mirror.co.uk (http://www.mirror.co.uk) Jun 23, 2014 08:22 By Chris Richards, Dan Warburton
Malaysian cops reportedly found the 53-year-old dad of three had made no social or work commitments for the future, unlike the rest of his crew.
The captain of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is now the prime suspect in the jet’s disappearance – because he had made no future plans.
Detectives from Malaysia’s special branch found Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, had cleared his diary of social or work commitments, unlike his crew.
The inquiry made him the most likely culprit if the plane was lost due to human intervention but does not rule out terrorism or mechanical failure.
The results were leaked by aviation industry sources and officials in south-east Asia.
US-based specialist Robert Mark, a pilot and editor of Aviation International News Safety magazine, said yesterday: “This certainly points a few fingers at the captain.”
Investigators interviewed more than 170 people since the plane went missing between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing with 239 people on board on March 8.
Claims have emerged father-of-three Captain Shah had faced tension at home with his partner and family members. He was said to be a “fanatical” supporter of Malaysia opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, who was imprisoned for homosexuality hours before the Boeing 777-200 disappeared.
Investigators have also found he plotted a route to a remote south Indian Ocean island using a flight simulator in his home.
Captain Shah’s relatives have said the truth will emerge when the plane’s black box is found.
Malaysia’s acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein criticised the leaks. A Malaysian police spokesman added: “We are looking into all possible angles.”

New book suggests MH370 was cyber-jacked
Published: 25 February 2015 9:16 AM
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 may have been the victim of cyber-jacking, a new book suggests, the most recent in the line-up of theories on the Boeing 777’s disappearance last year.
In the book, “Someone is Hiding Something”, authors Richard Belzer, David Wayne and George Noory said remote-control hijacking was the most likely scenario as the way in which MH370 vanished from radar “defies all logical explanation”.
“Cyber hijacking is about the only possibility that fits the above circumstances insofar as the known evidence regarding the actions of the plane,” the authors were quoted as saying in a report by The Australian.
“The notion perpetrated in the media that a plane ‘disappears’ from tracking when the transponder is turned off is patently false.
“It simply is not credible that the plane avoided radar after it flew off its route.”
The authors panned the prevailing belief that those on board MH370 had died of hypoxia, a deadly condition caused by low oxygen conditions. According to this theory, the pilots were incapacitated because of a lack of oxygen and the plane flew for hours on autopilot before running out of fuel and crashing in an unknown location.
“(There is) no evidence of this, or real motive for it,” they were quoted as saying.
However, they added that cyber-jacking, although the most likely scenario, was not necessarily the answer to the mystery surrounding MH370.
“We’re not saying that’s what happened,” they said in the report. “We are saying that the official version of ‘We lost the plane and it may never be found’ is an obvious ruse and a very weak one at that.”
US aviation safety expert Captain John Cox meanwhile when weighing in on the theory dismissed the possibility of a remote takeover, calling it “far-fetched”.
“Airplanes are shielded to prevent such acts,” he was quoted as saying.
Flight MH370 disappeared from radar on March 8, 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The Boeing 777 which was carrying 239 people last made contact with air traffic control less than an hour after takeoff, at a point over the South China Sea.
The theory that it may have been hijacked via remote control comes after news of a National Geographic documentary which quoted aviation experts as saying that MH370 had made three turns after its last contact with air traffic controllers.
According to the documentary, the aircraft first made a turn to the left followed by two more turns that took it westwards before it headed south towards Antarctica. ???
MH370 was declared officially missing on January 29, and all passengers and crew members are presumed dead. No trace of the plane has been found despite the largest search operations in aviation history. – February 25, 2015.
