Verification certified — the Malysian high command denies it:
MH370: Electrical power outage claim not verified, says Hisham
http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2014/07/01/MH370-Hishammuddin/
The initial claim by Malaysia:
“Malaysia Airlines said that the plane took off at 12.41am [16:41] Malaysian time and that it disappeared from air traffic control radar in Subang at 2.40am [18:40].”
“air traffic control radar”??? Military radar had already lost it at 18:22 and they were tracking it. Is ATC radar better than their military radar?
Look where it would have been at 18:40 — already west of Banda Aceh and already heading south. Are they referring to the unanswered call at 18:39?
Either way it appears that the pilot’s deceptive maneuver was successful in misleading the Malaysians as they missed the turn south completely and thought the plane continued on the northwest heading and went into the Bay of Bengal.
And Malaysian authorities are still in the dark.
