Why would the Malaysian government send the US looking east instead of west when it knew that it went west after the transponder was turned off? Why were the Malaysian military radars not monitoring air traffic like they were supposed to?
Why did the Malaysian government put guards at the pilot’s and co-pilot’s residence and not search them until it was pretty well clear that they were most likely in on it?
And now some Greek freighter says they found debris and luggage floating in the Malacca Straights after it had been thoroughly searched? This is the world’s most busily trafficked area by ships from all over the world including pirates and no one saw the aircraft fall into the sea or find any wreckage themselves. But that report by the Greeks has now been nixed. There wasn’t any debris.
But turning back to the Malaysians...
Why isn’t the Malaysian government searching for the family of the pilot who moved the day before the flight?
“Why isn’t the Malaysian government searching for the family of the pilot who moved the day before the flight?”
Failure to follow through on one step in their fabricated story evidently..
Malaysia has exhibited either willful neglect or gross incompetence in applying KNOWN security measures.
That their Airline will experience a total plunge of paying customers, indefinitely is a foregone conclusion. Even ignorant no information travelers value their lives. Westerners? For them they will have to settle for weighing their need to travel and take their chances. Greed is a powerful motivator for travelers in that part of the world.
Me?
No way I would travel with any of those "Oriental Culture" airlines under ANY circumstances.
Similarly, every Western international airport must now take up the slack and allow time to give ALL passengers on direct flights from Kuala Lumpur an extreme inspection and security check on arrival (assuming the flight arrives.) I certainly would not rely on their "saving face" bureaucracy to improve their procedures any time soon.
As an aside, even American airlines traveling to areas like American Samoa must rely of locals to hold up their end of business, including all security protocols.
The long-lived traveler is aware, and probably knows (or should know) where all the airports are which consider security a bothersome, optional activity.
