KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Officials revealed a new timeline Monday suggesting the final voice transmission from the cockpit of the missing Malaysian plane may have occurred before any of its communications systems were disabled, adding more uncertainty about who aboard might have been to blame.

Malaysian officials said earlier that those words came after one of the jetliner's data communications systems - the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System - had been switched off, suggesting the voice from the cockpit may have been trying to deceive ground controllers.
However, Ahmad said that while the last data transmission from ACARS - which gives plane performance and maintenance information - came before that, it was still unclear at what point the system was switched off, making any implications of the timing murkier.

Hmmmm, kinda reads like muslims can have affairs.
How bloody ironic.
(And, that’s an A380 not a 777)
“..that the Malaysians are just incapable of dealing with this.”
:::::::::
Or, maybe they do not want to deal with it. Until the plane is found, we will never know.
So if they can’t tell the difference between their airplanes how can they be expected to find one?
Ahmad and Hussein on the case. I can’t imagine what could go wrong.
I recall there was that 'top secret' drone the U.S. was flying near Iran, then Iran hijacked the drone by commandeering the signals and flying it deep inside Iran.
What are the wireless vulnerabilities of this aircraft?
“Heard an FBI guy on Hannity last night opine that the Malaysians are just incapable of dealing with this. Ya THINK?!”
A country that cannot deal wth this probably shouldn’t have an airline.
Malaysian clown show
That could be the objective of the hijackers ... to destabilize the Malaysisan government by forcing them to deal publicly with an impossible situation.

I suspect it’s some of both. They’re not really equipped or organized to handle such an investigation and Lord knows they wish they weren’t going this one right now.
Aircraft systems aren’t designed by idiots. Everyone is free to speculate but this wasn’t caused by some mad hacker who commandeered the plane from seat 36F.
I wouldn’t put it past Malaysian Airlines to steal their own airplane for insurance money.
My only question - what did they do with the passengers?
"If the Malay government says it, it's probably a lie."
IIRC, the 200ER version was not listed as having the computer vulnerability.
It also does not have the corrosion problem listed in that other Airworthiness Directive. It uses a different type of SATCOM antenna system.
Unbelievable. Even more ambiguity added to the story...
I wonder how many tens of billions($) have been spent so far in search of this damn plane.
Apparently there was a ‘possible’ sighting in the Maldives.

So the official and unofficial latest updated news is: No one has any clue where the plane is. Or at least if they know, they aren’t saying, for whatever reason.
