Missing jet WAS carrying highly flammable lithium batteries: CEO of Malaysian Airlines
Daily Mail ^ | 3-21-14 | Simon Tomlinson

Malaysian Airlines today confirmed that flight MH370 had been carrying highly flammable lithium-ion batteries in its cargo hold, re-igniting speculation that a fire may have caused its disappearance.

The admission by CEO Ahmad Jauhari comes four days after he denied the aircraft was carrying any dangerous items and nearly two weeks after the plane went missing.

He said the authorities were investigating the cargo, but did not regard the batteries as hazardous - despite the law dictating they are classed as such - because they were packaged according to safety regulations.

Malaysian authorities denying it is pretty bizarre, though

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL c’mon man r u kidding me? Flammable gas onboard..... beans served for snack. Plane carrying huge amounts of Kerosene (in it’s wings).

This plane was HIJACKED. This is the ONE thing we know for sure. Why? Where is it? We don’t know, but it wasn’t some lithium battery BS.

I think it’s a cover for more sinister stuff going on.

the lithium batteries are very dangerous — if they are not securely restrained, they will go into the cockpit and program a new route into the flight management computer and switch off the transponder

The media has ignored it but the info was out there.

SO they ignited, turned off the transponders, killed the crew and passenger?

And then the burning plane flew for 7 hours?

Let me add:

Missing jet WAS carrying highly flammable lithium
batteries:

Missing jet WAS carrying a large amount of highly flammable clothing in it’s cargo hold. Much of this clothing was concealed in suitcases.

Totally not germane to the known facts.

Yeah. It just irritates me that one of the FOX analysts said it on air last week and tonight they call it breaking news.

As far as the Malaysians are concerned, they appear to be terrified to say or do anything.

I heard it also had a motorcycle in the cargo that had a car tire mounted on the rear.

Almost every biker forum I have dropped in on has a bunch of yahoos claiming a car tire on a bike is a ticking time bomb.

Mr. Airplane Man:
“You are so full of chit yer eyes are.....well.....”

You will now make any outrageous claim to give cover for you and your employees incompetence to ensure something like this could never happen.

You, are cruel, inhumane and soul less to dangle a dppleganger in front of the families.

You should be assuaging them best you can and helping them forward with their lives.

May you accidentally fall into a punji pit filled with leeches and scorpions
