ON THE WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORT THAT THE PLANE FLEW ON FOR HOURS
MALAYSIAN officials denied a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report that cited unnamed US investigators claiming that the missing plane had carried on flying for four hours after falling off the air traffic control radar.
Yesterday, Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said Malaysia Airlines (MAS) had verified with the aircraft's maker Boeing and engine supplier Rolls- Royce that the last time the plane transmitted data was at 1.07am local time last Saturday.
The Beijing-bound MH370 had taken off at 12.41am, but lost radio contact with air traffic control in Subang at about 1.30am. At 2.40am, the control tower reported the missing flight to MAS.
"Rolls-Royce and Boeing teams are here in Kuala Lumpur, and have worked with MAS and the investigations team since Sunday. This issue has never been raised," he told a packed press conference. "As far as Rolls-Royce and Boeing are concerned, those reports are inaccurate."
The WSJ report went viral yesterday after reporting that the MH370 could have continued flying hundreds of additional miles after it went missing from the radar, based on data purportedly sent to Boeing as part of its maintenance-and-monitoring programme from the aircraft's engines.
That, the influential business paper said, raised the possibility that the plane might have headed towards an undisclosed location, a theory which US counter-terrorism officials are pursuing.
MAS chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the plane was set to send engine data at pre- programmed intervals or when there were abnormalities within the system. If the plane had carried on flying, it would have transmitted engine data back.
"But the last transmission at 1.07am stated that everything was operating normally," Mr Ahmad said. "The transmission did not run beyond that."
The WSJ article does not claim that the plane transmitted a report. It is saying the system was pinging satellites in a handshake operation. I would be surprised if our intelligence community could not use that type of I information to triangulate a location and or speed.
Missiles could trigger a dead-man's switch or otherwise spread nuclear waste from an explosion.
So... Zap.
Game over.
It's better to leave the world with a mystery, than have to admit the reality of scalar weapons. Or let a nuke take out Singapore. Or even let a nuke take out a flying commercial airliner. Bad for business all around.
The plane will never be found. It will remain a mystery.
Oh look, Obama went golfing again...
I was thinking the same triangulation thing.
Misinformation is one way to hide from bad guys that you’re mounting a rescue operation.
“Gently used. Serious bidders only.”
Maybe it never took off. Jeez
If Hussein was born in Malaysia it might explain a lot.
“I’m not saying it’s aliens, but...”
They’re just not into it...
That, actually, is my favorite conspiracy theory.
They needed the insurance money, so this is all elaborately staged.
Malaysia is lying at the monetary insistence of obammy to keep us from knowing that this was an islamic KILL!!!
Wow. that gets the wheels churning.
Well, as our country has been enduring an ObaMalaise for the passed five years, I would have to agree.
Soros. Monsanto. Ukraine, Nazis.
Salute! Two!
Oh @#$%, same stuff, different day :/
Why all the obfuscation, stonewalling, “look a squirrel!!!!!” from certain countries.
:(
Sooner or later some poor government or small group of government was going to have to make the call to shoot down an airliner. Nobody wants to be the first. It’s bad news for every government and the world economy. Did you really think this wouldn’t happen sooner or later...really?
So...10 countries searching for a plane nobody wants to find. Why? It was high jacked and then shot down probably with the consensus of multiple governments.
To be clear, shooting it down may well have been the right decision.
The longer the misdirection is going on the longer the evidence soaks and key components that would display the cause are covertly recovered. Note that the entire Sea of Thailand is at most 200-300 feet deep. It’s not a moon shot to recover this debris. Make no mistake, this serves the greater good and this is how communist governments think...including our own.
one, two, three, four
Scalar weapons...... Tom Bearden .
A name that I haven’t heard in a long long time......
We’re not shellbacks anymore
(Am I mixing metaphors? Well, it rhymed .... ? :D )
