China is the largest number of passengers on board MH370 .

MH370 : MALAYSIA WOULD SEND THEIR TEAM

KUALA LUMPUR : Malaysia is now in the process of sending their team to Perth , where includes all board from the Department of Civil Aviation, Malaysia Airlines, Royal Malaysian Navy and Royal Malaysian Air Force .

According to a press statement by the Ministry of Transport , the team will work closely with the Australian Rescue Coordination Center to help search operation and get lastest information.

In Australia as leader, six ships will continue its mission to find and track a Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 debris, especially in areas where the 122 objects identified by the Malaysian Remote Sensing Agency ( MRSA ) in the search for Australia , about 2,557 miles from Perth .

The search for a Thursday of 16,298 square nautical miles in the West , and the 6,506 square nautical miles in the East .

A ship from China , Hai Xun , is expected to arrive in the area tonight.

Ships China , Xue Long will oversee the East . In the West, it will be monitored by 4 Chinese ships and an Australian ship HMAS Success .

Add the fact may be, nine aircraft were flown into the search area .

However, all aircraft used in the mission was ordered to return to Perth due to bad weather .

MH370 : PING FROM ENGINE ESTIMATE THE DIRECTION OF FLIGHT

The British company Inmarsat PLC ( International Satellite Maritime Organisation ) using the ' Doppled Effect ' discovered in the 19th century to analyze the signal 7 ' Ping ' satellite captured .

The method allows to determine the direction of the last flight of MAS MH370 aircraft lost contact.

Armed with that data Malaysia pm Najib Razak came to the conclusion that the Boeing 777 lost contact since March 8 it has fallen into the Indian Ocean , killing 239 passengers and crew .

After the communication device is not functioning as a whole , the plane was still emitting signals ' Ping ' every hour . Of signal ' Ping ' emitted by aircraft flight MH370 known since leaving Kuala Lumpur airport to fly to Beijing and then cut off the ignition . Flight continued several hours .

Evaluation of height and distance from the time of arrest signals by satellite , obtained an estimate of Inmarsat depicted in the form of 2 pieces each arc that leads to the north and south .

Experts in Inmarsat then using the ' Doppler Effect ' as a basis for detecting sinyak ' Ping ' is weak . Doppler wave frequency will be changed to follow the direction of movement of the carrier to detect the strength of the signal . In the case of a satellite carrier is .

Air Accident Investigation Branch ( AAIB ) of the United States also participate in analyzing

Head of Corporate Communications Inmarsat Sinnatt Jonathan said , " We then incorporate the data into the second arc plane was to compare the likely direction of flight , the aircraft was finally discovered that the fly heading south . "

Once the experts at Inmarsat compare theoretical flyway MH370 with a signal of some Boeing 777 aircraft that fly the route. But the result is appropriate .

Before Sinnatt announced the results of his analysis , he first had asked for another satellite company to inspect it .

Due to the weak signal transmitting ' Ping ' to 1 satellite which is still able to catch it , clear the GPS satellites and other triangulation techniques will not be able to detect the direction of aircraft flight . 

MH370 : MAS & ICU RELATIONS

The financial performance of Malaysian Airline System ( MAS ) was very bad . The airline is also dogged by problems loss of the aircraft in flight dri Kuala Lumpur to Beijing .

In 2011 , the airline loss record high , namely 2.52 billion ringgit . In 2013 , the company also posted a loss of 1.19 billion ringgit , or USD360 million in 2013 .

" Company has always been in a precarious state . If the MAS is a hospital patient , meaning he was in the ICU ( Intensive Care Unit ) permanently , " said analysts at Standard & Poor's Capital IQ , Shukor Yusof , quoted by CNBC , Wednesday ( 12 / 3/2014 ) .

" They have a habit to always lose . They also always changing CEOs , but it did not change anything , " he added .

He went on , in 2002 , the debt ratio is very alarming MAS . And after 10-12 years later , the debt is still felt .

At the end of 2013 , MAS still has long -term debt amounted to 10.36 billion ringgit . Meanwhile , in May last year , the company conducted a rights issue at a price of 23 cents per share .

According Shukor , the airline suffered losses due to mistakes he did in 2003 . At that time , the airline decided to order catering for 25 years, with a value of 250 billion ringgit per year .

Previously , in 2000 , the Malaysian Government to bailout companies also do this by buying a 29 percent stake of businessman Tajudin Ramli worth 8 ringgit per share .

But the company's stock , never left the price of 2 ringgit in 2000 . And now , as much as 69 per cent of MAS shares held by Khazanah Nasional , the Malaysian state-owned enterprises .

MH370 : CHINESE REPORTER FEEL SAD

FEEL SAD DEEPLY

MH370 : CONFIRMED!

KUALA LUMPUR : Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 which can not be traced since March 8 confirmed missing in the Indian Ocean in the south west of Perth , Australia .

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced the news in a special session that was broadcast live from Putra Dunita Trade Centre ( PWTC ) last night .

The prime minister said the last flight MH370 was based on information from satellite data provided by the British company , Inmarsat and Air crash Investigation

Division United Kingdom ( AAIB ), which confirms the Boeing 777-200 aircraft flying south of the strip last signal detected from the aircraft that.

"This is an isolated area , far from any reasonable landing site .

"Therefore, with great sorrow and regret that I inform you that , based on this new data , flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean , " he said .

Meanwhile, MAS said in a statement to inform will continue to provide assistance and support to the families of the passengers and crew involved as he had done since

the plane disappeared .

MAS also said the rescue operation and a thorough investigation will continue to look for answers to the mysterious disappearance of his aircraft .

"Once again , with humility, memory, our prayers and condolences to all affected by this tragedy , " the statement said .

In the meantime , he told a press conference will be held on Tuesday with more information .

" At this time , we would like to inform you of the latest developments at the nearest opportunity . We share this information with a commitment to openness and

respect for family , two principles that underline this investigation , " he said.

According to Najib again , Malaysia Airlines has informed the development of this new family members of passengers and crew .

" For them, the past few weeks is pretty sad , I know there are certainly more sad news ," he said .

morning March 8 and accompanied by more than 20 countries .

MH 370 : CHINA FOUND WING OF AIRLINER?

CANBERRA, March 22  -- The object spotted by a Chinese satellite may be a wing of an airliner, John Blaxland, a senior fellow from Australian National University (ANU) said in a telephone interview with Xinhua on Saturday.

Dr. Blaxland, from ANU's Strategic and Defense Studies Center, said if the measurements of 22 meters long and 13 meters wide are correct, they are more consistent with a wing of a Boeing 777 airliner.

Asked about whether the newly spotted object would be the one spotted in an earlier satellite image, Blaxland said they don't seem to be the same object.

"It's similar shaped, but if the measurements (are correct), then this is slightly wider," he said.

He called it a significant finding, because that would not be a container.

Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) earlier released satellite photos showing an object of 24 meters long, which becomes the "best lead" so far to find the missing Malaysian Airline MH370.

The Chinese government released a satellite photo taken on March 18. The object is said to be 120 km west to the object spotted by American satellite on March 16 which has formed the basis for the current search operation coordinated by Australia.

Blaxland said if that is the case, then the two objects are " highly unlikely" to be the same object or the two wings of the same plane because the ocean current is from west to east.

But in a later email reply to Xinhua, Blaxland said this picture suggests the new imagery is not to the west but in the south of the area currently being patrolled.

"That changes things as it is quite possible that the currents would move, in a swirling pattern, to move the object further south in to the area. If that is the case, then this very well may be the first new evidence of the same object identified on March 16. If that is the case. Tomorrow's surveillance flights will most likely be redirected onto this area," he said.

AMSA told Australian Associated Press that it's too early to say if the new imagery will alter the search patterns. But Blaxland said he suspected AMSA will be studying this very, very closely tonight and recalibrating their plan as a consequence of this information.

Tt

MH370 : Stop Blame Malaysia

Paul Rizal Baird

The Western Media, including CNN, BBC, ABC, CBS and NBC, have been broadcasting again and again, almost in loop tape fashion, the near riot in the MH370 media briefing room yesterday. Malaysia's portrayal as a villainous state, with evil officials hoarding information and telling untruths with impunity is now complete.

Malaysia bashing is on overdrive !

NOW, while the world is gripped by the possible discovery of MH370 debris in the southern Indian Ocean, let me state something:-

NO country has a monopoly on grief.

Malaysia lost 50 of its citizens. These are fathers, wives, siblings and children of quietly grieving families across our land. Indonesia lost seven people, Australia six, India five, with others spread over 11 other countries and territories.

BUT . . .

The Western Media is focusing almost exclusively on families of Chinese passengers, almost reveling in the dramatic expressions of sorrow and anger by these people. These unbridled emotions have long degenerated into bouts of Malaysia-bashing, with wild and outrageous accusations thrown at our officials and our nation by what has became a rude, noisy, unreasonable and hostile mob bent on venting their personal frustrations at something, somewhere, somehow.

And Malaysia became this punching bag.

While a little "thank you for your concern, support and hospitality" may be beyond these guests of Malaysia Airlines, we didn't expect a noisy demo in the media briefing hall either. And not least the Malaysia-bashing banner which read: “We protest against the Malaysian government withholding information and wasting time and hampering search efforts.”

NOW . . . you people know what happens if you do THIS in your homeland, China? Yes, I'm sure you do.

As for the Western Media, the LA Times quoted a typical line -- with the same flavor repeated again and again among their compadres -- this time purportedly by a grieving family member in Beijing:-

"I’m angry at Malaysia for not telling the truth. From the start they were buying time, withholding facts, and now they’re distorting the truth.'"

Really?

The truth?

What then do you call the media briefings of the 12 days? Pack of lies by Malaysia? Untruth? Buying time? Withholding facts?

Why?

So what "truth" do you want?

That the plane crashed? No, you won't accept it. The plane was hijacked? No also. The plane landed somewhere? Again No. The plane is lost and will NEVER be found? A big No No.

Then what do you really want to hear? Do you even know WHAT you want to hear?

So what is "truth" then?

NOW, you want the truth? You really want the truth? Ok . . . . .

The truth is -- until about a couple of hours ago with the Australian preliminary interpretation of the commercial satellite imagery -- NOBODY KNOWS. Not Malaysia, not China, not America, nobody knows. That's why everyone and his uncle from almost 30 countries plus millions online worldwide have been searching millions of square km of land and the deep blue ocean.

Sure, I sympathize with your grief. But again, others lost their loved ones too and suffer from the same uncertainty as well. I repeat, Malaysia lost 50 passengers and crew, including some of our best and brightest. And passengers from 13 other countries and territories were also on that flight and suffered the exact same fate as your loved ones. BUT I don't see Malaysians, Indonesians, Australians, Indians or Americans go berserk and throw bottles at Malaysia Airlines staffers and verbally abuse caregivers.

Did grieving Malaysian next-of-kin throw bottles and spit at your embassy officials and representatives in KL over the irrelevant satellite image furnished in the name of your government, which led to the deployment of our SAR assets in the middle of the South China Sea to unravel a lead that turned out to be a sick prank among many untruths and distortions spewed by your country's social media?

So why must only you people display this unbridled anger and frustration over something beyond the control of anyone, any airline, any search party, any national leader, any country, even the planet itself?

Still not satisfied?

Still want to bash Malaysia at every turn while you partake in all the free food, 4-star accommodation, counseling and transportation provided by Malaysia Airlines although the bulk of your kin's tickets were actually purchased from China Southern Airlines in a Code Share? What has China Southern Airlines done? Next to nothing. Zilch.

My message to these people: there is something called Compassion Fatigue. Your antics in Beijing and KLIA beamed over the global media has pushed many genuinely caring Malaysians towards this state of mind.

AND to the Western Media, remember, there are 239 souls on MH370, not just 152. The world has witnessed the antics of the families of the 152. Why don't you people now focus on the other 87 families who by and large handled this very difficult times with dignity underlain by brave acceptance of God's will.

Sobs.

MH370 : FIRE in cockpit?

Langkawi airport 

https://maps.google.com.my/maps? ... 2&ved=0CK8BEPwS

Kota bharu airport?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultan_Ismail_Petra_Airport

There has been a lot of speculation about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Terrorism, hijacking, meteors. I cannot believe the analysis on CNN; it’s almost disturbing. I tend to look for a simpler explanation, and I find it with the 13,000-foot runway at Pulau Langkawi.

We know the story of MH370: A loaded Boeing 777 departs at midnight from Kuala Lampur, headed to Beijing. A hot night. A heavy aircraft. About an hour out, across the gulf toward Vietnam, the plane goes dark, meaning the transponder and secondary radar tracking go off. Two days later we hear reports that Malaysian military radar (which is a primary radar, meaning the plane is tracked by reflection rather than by transponder interrogation response) has tracked the plane on a southwesterly course back across the Malay Peninsula into the Strait of Malacca.

The loss of transponders and communications makes perfect sense in a fire.

When I heard this I immediately brought up Google Earth and searched for airports in proximity to the track toward the southwest.

The left turn is the key here. Zaharie Ahmad Shaw was a very experienced senior captain with 18,000 hours of flight time. We old pilots were drilled to know what is the closest airport of safe harbor while in cruise. Airports behind us, airports abeam us, and airports ahead of us. They’re always in our head. Always. If something happens, you don’t want to be thinking about what are you going to do–you already know what you are going to do. When I saw that left turn with a direct heading, I instinctively knew he was heading for an airport. He was taking a direct route to Pulau Langkawi, a 13,000-foot airstrip with an approach over water and no obstacles. The captain did not turn back to Kuala Lampur because he knew he had 8,000-foot ridges to cross. He knew the terrain was friendlier toward Langkawi, which also was closer.

Take a look at this airport on Google Earth. The pilot did all the right things. He was confronted by some major event onboard that made him make an immediate turn to the closest, safest airport.

For me, the loss of transponders and communications makes perfect sense in a fire. And there most likely was an electrical fire. In the case of a fire, the first response is to pull the main busses and restore circuits one by one until you have isolated the bad one. If they pulled the busses, the plane would go silent. It probably was a serious event and the flight crew was occupied with controlling the plane and trying to fight the fire. Aviate, navigate, and lastly, communicate is the mantra in such situations.

There are two types of fires. An electrical fire might not be as fast and furious, and there may or may not be incapacitating smoke. However there is the possibility, given the timeline, that there was an overheat on one of the front landing gear tires, it blew on takeoff and started slowly burning. Yes, this happens with underinflated tires. Remember: Heavy plane, hot night, sea level, long-run takeoff. There was a well known accident in Nigeria of a DC8 that had a landing gear fire on takeoff. Once going, a tire fire would produce horrific, incapacitating smoke. Yes, pilots have access to oxygen masks, but this is a no-no with fire. Most have access to a smoke hood with a filter, but this will last only a few minutes depending on the smoke level. (I used to carry one in my flight bag, and I still carry one in my briefcase when I fly.)

What I think happened is the flight crew was overcome by smoke and the plane continued on the heading, probably on George (autopilot), until it ran out of fuel or the fire destroyed the control surfaces and it crashed. 

Ongoing speculation of a hijacking and/or murder-suicide and that there was a flight engineer on board does not sway me in favor of foul play until I am presented with evidence of foul play.

We know there was a last voice transmission that, from a pilot’s point of view, was entirely normal. “Good night” is customary on a hand-off to a new air traffic control. The “good night” also strongly indicates to me that all was OK on the flight deck. Remember, there are many ways a pilot can communicate distress. A hijack code or even transponder code off by one digit would alert ATC that something was wrong. Every good pilot knows keying an SOS over the mike always is an option. Even three short clicks would raise an alert. So I conclude that at the point of voice transmission all was perceived as well on the flight deck by the pilots.

But things could have been in the process of going wrong, unknown to the pilots.

Evidently the ACARS went inoperative some time before. Disabling the ACARS is not easy, as pointed out. This leads me to believe more in an electrical problem or an electrical fire than a manual shutdown. I suggest the pilots probably were not aware ACARS was not transmitting.

As for the reports of altitude fluctuations, given that this was not transponder-generated data but primary radar at maybe 200 miles, the azimuth readings can be affected by a lot of atmospherics and I would not have high confidence in this being totally reliable. But let’s accept for a minute that the pilot may have ascended to 45,000 feet in a last-ditch effort to quell a fire by seeking the lowest level of oxygen. That is an acceptable scenario. At 45,000 feet, it would be tough to keep this aircraft stable, as the flight envelope is very narrow and loss of control in a stall is entirely possible. The aircraft is at the top of its operational ceiling. The reported rapid rates of descent could have been generated by a stall, followed by a recovery at 25,000 feet. The pilot may even have been diving to extinguish flames.

But going to 45,000 feet in a hijack scenario doesn’t make any good sense to me.

Regarding the additional flying time: On departing Kuala Lampur, Flight 370 would have had fuel for Beijing and an alternate destination, probably Shanghai, plus 45 minutes–say, 8 hours. Maybe more. He burned 20-25 percent in the first hour with takeoff and the climb to cruise. So when the turn was made toward Langkawi, he would have had six hours or more hours worth of fuel. This correlates nicely with the Inmarsat data pings being received until fuel exhaustion.

Fire in an aircraft demands one thing: Get the machine on the ground as soon as possible.

The now known continued flight until time to fuel exhaustion only confirms to me that the crew was incapacitated and the flight continued on deep into the south Indian ocean.

There is no point speculating further until more evidence surfaces, but in the meantime it serves no purpose to malign pilots who well may have been in a struggle to save this aircraft from a fire or other serious mechanical issue. Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shaw was a hero struggling with an impossible situation trying to get that plane to Langkawi. There is no doubt in my mind. That’s the reason for the turn and direct route. A hijacking would not have made that deliberate left turn with a direct heading for Langkawi. It probably would have weaved around a bit until the hijackers decided where they were taking it.

Surprisingly, none of the reporters, officials, or other pilots interviewed have looked at this from the pilot’s viewpoint: If something went wrong, where would he go? Thanks to Google Earth I spotted Langkawi in about 30 seconds, zoomed in and saw how long the runway was and I just instinctively knew this pilot knew this airport. He had probably flown there many times.

Fire in an aircraft demands one thing: Get the machine on the ground as soon as possible. There are two well-remembered experiences in my memory. The AirCanada DC9 which landed, I believe, in Columbus, Ohio in the 1980s. That pilot delayed descent and bypassed several airports. He didn’t instinctively know the closest airports. He got it on the ground eventually, but lost 30-odd souls. The 1998 crash of Swissair DC-10 off Nova Scotia was another example of heroic pilots. They were 15 minutes out of Halifax but the fire overcame them and they had to ditch in the ocean. They simply ran out of time. That fire incidentally started when the aircraft was about an hour out of Kennedy. Guess what? The transponders and communications were shut off as they pulled the busses.

Get on Google Earth and type in Pulau Langkawi and then look at it in relation to the radar track heading. Two plus two equals four. For me, that is the simple explanation why it turned and headed in that direction. Smart pilot. He just didn’t have the time.

MH 370 : Go to Taliban border?

Now investigators look at probability the possibility of Malaysia Airlines ( MAS ) MH 370 is missing since March 8 radar system successfully passed(??) a number of countries and is now in the Afghan border that is a stronghold of Taliban fighters , The Independent newspaper reported on Monday.

The MH 370 aircraft was lost while on a flight from Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia heading to Beijing , China was believed to be diverted by a person skilled handling of the Boeing 777-200 .

Malaysian authorities softly wanted to apply diplomatic to investigate the theory that the plane carrying 239 passengers and crew flew into one of the strongholds of the Taliban in the northwest near the Afghan border of Pakistan.

The officer involved in the investigation told the application full diplomatic asked the government to ensure that the truth theory of the plane flown into the area which are not controlled by any government .

Much of southern Afghanistan and northwest Pakistan dominated by the Taliban .

A MAS spokesman said , the region involving the particular jurisdiction in which the Malaysian authorities and the Civil Aviation Department to seek approval .

" The province is located in Pakistan and Afghanistan and we can not investigate the allegation without prior approval of the two countries , '' he said.

The region also has air tight defense and also has a number of U.S. military bases ( U.S. ) and other countries .

For a commercial aircraft across the area without being detected radar requires a sophisticated navigation equipment as well as highly skilled pilots.
