KUALA LUMPUR: The probe into the mysterious disappearance of the Malaysian jet is now looking at the possibility that the plane may have landed somewhere as no debris has been found so far, a media report has said.
A report in the New Strait Times quoting sources within the international team probing the disappearance said that among the areas it was revisiting was the possibility that the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 had landed elsewhere, instead of ending up in the southern Indian Ocean.
"We may have to regroup soon to look into this possibility if no positive results come back in the next few days ... but at the same time, the search mission in the Indian Ocean must go on," the source was quoted as saying.
"The thought of it landing somewhere else is not impossible, as we have not found a single debris that could be linked to MH370. However, the possibility of a specific country hiding the plane when more than 20 nations are searching for it, seems absurd," the sources said.
Another possibility was that the flight had crashed landed in a remote location, the source said.
Members of the International Investigation Team (IIT) who have been making efforts since day one to find the plane are now looking at the likelihood of starting from scratch, the report said.
The sources admitted to the daily that it was difficult to determine if the Boeing 777-200 had really ended in the Indian Ocean, though calculations carried out pointed to the direction.
They pointed out that the Malaysian-led investigation team, together with experts from Inmarsat and the United Kingdom's Air Accidents Investigation Branch, had to rely on a communications satellite, which did not provide any definite details, including the plane's direction, altitude and speed.
"A communications satellite is meant for communication... the name is self-explanatory. The reason investigators were forced to adopt a new algorithm to calculate the last known location of MH370 was because there was no global positioning system following the aircraft as the transponder went off 45 minutes into the flight," one of the sources was quoted as saying.
The IIT, the source said, was also looking at adding more assets to be deployed to the existing search area in the Indian Ocean, as well as widening the search area as they feared that the search team had been "looking for the plane in the wrong place".
The Beijing-bound Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 - carrying 239 people, including five Indians, an Indo-Canadian and 154 Chinese nationals - had mysteriously vanished on March 8 after taking off from Kuala Lumpur.
What happened to the beeps they were getting from the black box?
Egypt Air is the perfect example of what happens when you have a suicidal pilot..he didnt turn off the ACARS, didnt turn off the Transponder..he just flew into the ocean, screamed Allah Akbar and crashed the plane into the water..that did NOT happen here..a suicidal pilot doesn’t fly around for 7 hours thinking about offing himself..I doubt the pilot and co-pilot were having a Dr Phil moment in the cockpit discussing their feelings..whoever was flying that plane had a plan and that plan was carried out, question is, what is that plan?
Their loyalty to Islam trumps any duty to the international community...or even the truth.
Then if he is SO SURE why is he allowing the military that he retired from as well as the navies of Australia and other nations waste all those resources looking for it in the Indian Ocean when he supposedly has some secret inside scoop??
Answer: HE HAS NOTHING and KNOWS NOTHING.
KNOWS AND IS SURE.
Lots of people “know and are sure” look at all the global warmers and the liberal lefty’s and so many other groups out there, some times even high ranking people get a little out there, some people think that governments have all the right answers and “KNOW” what is best for us all, go figgure
I thought they just started the search that was going to take a long time???
Is the year and a half up already???
>> Paging General McInerney.
bttt
Don’t you know that missing socks are actually clothes hanger larvae?
>> What is the evidence of that?
>> The plane is at the bottom of the Indian Ocean...
Because the Indian Ocean is vast and deep?
Oh so Boeing is in on it too???? They know the plane landed somewhere? Yet they’re keeping quiet while a massive search goes on in the middle of the ocean?
Your faith in the General Officer corps is touching. Naive, but touching.
Lets put it this way, the General is either an idiot for talking out his ass, or a coward for not following it up with his exact source so we can get to the bottom of this. Which do you choose?
Just my guess based on the evidence I’ve seen. Lets face it.. no one knows where the damn thing is. But if i had to put money on it, the Indian Ocean is my guess.
I believe that the plane did indeed land: a very hard landing on water or land that nobody walked away from.
How does a General get to be a general if he's really a quack?
Even Wesley Clark got to be not only a general, but the head of NATO. He's a bit whacky at times, but not a quack.
Consider this...
Would you call Pierre Salinger a quack? He was a well-respected journalist who became President Kennedy's Press Secretary (and later President Johnson's). He was then appointed to the Senate to fill a vacancy.
He only became a "quack" when he questioned the Clinton administration's story on the TWA 800 disaster.
Quack?
Hardly. Just inconvenient for the current administration.

This is Al Queda at Pockestan Airways. You got a set of brake pads for a 2003 Boeing triple 7?
As usual, we'll have to order them, it'll be a couple of days.
Calling General McInerney (FNC).
So then, is the General a quack, or a coward? He has to be one or the other. If he really has a “source” that told him the plane is in Pakistan, yet he’s too afraid to reveal that source and for once and for all end this mystery, then he’s a coward. Which do you choose?
The question to you is, if the information that you repeated from your source did not pan out for whatever reason (truth? government complicitness? expected revelations elsewhere that didn't pan out in a timely fashion?), do you "out" your source who is embedded at the site, or do you take your lumps and stay quiet until the next time?
What about Salinger? Quack or inconvient? Journalist, Press Secretary, and Senator, or quack?

DOn't corpses float?
Time traveling subterranean aliens, Bermuda triangles, demons from hell, and our own CIA are ALL preferable for liberals than the unbearable thought that it could be a radical Muslim...
