Malaysia flight's co-pilot tried to make cellphone call-report

Reuters 57 minutes ago

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Investigators probing the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 suspect that the co-pilot of the jetliner tried to make a call with his cellphone after the plane was diverted from its scheduled route, Malaysia's New Straits Times reported sources as saying on Saturday.

The newspaper cited unidentified investigative sources as saying the attempted call from co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid's phone was picked up by a cellphone tower as the plane was about 200 nautical miles northwest of the west coast state of Penang. That was around where military radar made its last sighting of the missing jet at 2:15 a.m. local time on March 8.

"The telco's (telecommunications company's) tower established the call that he was trying to make. On why the call was cut off, it was likely because the aircraft was fast moving away from the tower and had not come under the coverage of the next one," the New Straits Times cited a source as saying.

People mock the Pakistan theory but Israel doesn’t.

I always put my money on Israel.

In men’s magazines they had a drawing of a person looking through the clothes of some shapely female.

The plane’s passengers are in Shangri-La. The Lamasery needed some tech wizards to help update their computer grid. I heard they were putting their vast wealth of knowledge as well as their huge library on hard drives.

It’s poorly written —

The cell towers that picked it up were on the Island of Penang which is about 200 nautical miles northwest of Kuala Lumpur right along the coast of Penang.

Interestingly enough it is also where the plane was painted by Malaysian radar at 2:15 as it turned to head northwest to waypoint IGREX — something that only a seasoned pilot would know.

There was no next one from there -- just a lot of water as it headed out into the Andaman Sea.

But if the call was made at or about 2:15 then they would have been right over the Island of Penang at that time -- but not for long.

That seems unlikely simply because the US has many frienemies. It’s doubtful that info would stay quiet for long.

I’m just passing on what several others are saying, and there was a training accident off of Thailand the last time they did this years ago.... militaries and our navy, five I think this time. And they admit to firing missiles.

There is no telling what happened.

All we do know is that it is NOT what they AR telling. SMH

I feel for all the families though they will probably never get a straight answer.
