Haarkarjeetgaye Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 malaysia and its neighbours have to answer why they did not have airforce planes intercept the airplane. Maybe if they did' date=' then they could have talked the hijacker out of crashing the plane into the ocean.[/quote'] they would have tried. would have got no response as all communication was down. whats the next step? what would any countrys AF do in this case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhunaeh Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 they would have tried. would have got no response as all communication was down. whats the next step? what would any countrys AF do in this case If committing suicidal crash was his only aim, he could have crashed the plane as soon as he took control of it. He didn't so he was trying to get somewhere. The hijacker may have taken a taken a different course of action and cut his ocean trip short if he knew jets were on his tail. Country's AF has to try all means available to make him land as long no 9/11 type threat is being faced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhunaeh Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 And was plane to plane radio switched of too? ground communication was turned off, that much we know. So there might have been a slight chance for a military jet to talk him out of it, if plane to plane radio was available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 http://idrw.org/?p=34887#more-34887 The Indian military establishment has rejected the possibility that the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which mysteriously disappeared eight days en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur, could have flown over India on way to Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan in Central Asia. This came after Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on Saturday said the missing plane. This came after Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on Saturday said the missing plane's last communication with a satellite suggested it could have been deliberately diverted , after its transponders were switched off, into two possible corridors or arcs . The northern one was identified as stretching from northern Thailand to Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, while the southern one from Indonesia to southern Indian Ocean. If the jetliner had tried to cross the Indian mainland, our primary radars (which bounce radio signals off targets) would have picked it up despite its transponders being switched off (secondary radars beam signals that request information from a plane's transponders), said a top IAF officer. If an unidentified plane had been picked up flouting prescribed procedures or with switched-off transponders or not squawking IFF (identification, friend or foe) codes, a series of air defence measures would have kicked in including the scrambling of fighters to detect, identify, intercept and destroy the intruder. Senior IAF and Navy officers admitted there were a few gaps in India's civil and military radar networks but stressed it would be virtually impossible for a jetliner to fly undetected across the Indian mainland. The five Airports Authority of India radars at Delhi, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Chennai and Mumbai are integrated with IAF's air defence network. The possibility is far-fetched, said an officer.

zen Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 What Satellite Data Reveal About Flight 370's Location The twin possible paths of the errant jetliner were derived from detailed calculations using the jet's last known heading, speed and likely fuel consumption allowing investigators to determine where Flight 370 was last seen and where it might have later exhausted its fuel. Investigative teams used a series of hourly pings sent from the Inmarsat ISAT.LN +0.07% PLC satellite in geostationary orbit more than 22,000 miles above to the 777 after it was last spotted at 2:15 a.m. Malaysia local time by primary radar over the Malacca Strait heading for the Andaman Sea. The plots of those pings prompted search and rescue teams to expand into massive search areas. As a result, the northern corridor and the southern corridor reflect where the 777 might have been when it sent its final ping at 8:11 a.m. Malaysia local time, some 7½ hours after leaving the Malaysian capital. NY Times has posted a better schematic on the two corridors: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 wtf? what did we ever do to malaysians? The Ind attack speculation is old - when the plane was perceived to be headed towards A&N after the last known contact w/ the military radar .... The new data suggests that the plane was most likely in the two corridors. The Northern corridor barely touches India (and that too in the Kashmir region and region near BD) ....

Roshanrocks Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 There are a lot of wierd theories too... the plane was the 404th Boeing 777 produced "An HTTP 404 error means not found, which in this case is oddly appropriate for the status of the aircraft, or just a coincidence. Coincidence, I think not!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 How Malaysia handled the crisis and complicated the search is under scrutiny too. A day at the office for the radar monitoring team - nothing went wrong in the past, so nothing will in the future (but can imagine the same in some of the other countries): The radar blip that was Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 did a wide U-turn over the Gulf of Thailand and then began moving inexorably past at least three military radar arrays as it traversed northern Malaysia, even flying high over one of the country’s biggest cities before heading out over the Strait of Malacca. A British Royal Air Force base in the colonial era, the Malaysian air force base at Butterworth sits on the mainland across from the island of Penang at the northern reaches of the Strait of Malacca. There, in the early morning hours of March 8, the four-person crew watching for intrusions into the country’s airspace either did not notice or failed to report a blip on their defensive radar and air traffic radar that was moving steadily across the country from east to west, heading right toward them, said the person with knowledge of the matter. Neither that team nor the crews at two other radar installations at Kota Bharu, closer to where the airliner last had contact with the ground, designated the blip as an unknown intruder warranting attention, the person said. The aircraft proceeded to fly across the country and out to sea without anyone on watch telling a superior and alerting the national defense command near Kuala Lumpur, even though the radar contact’s flight path did not correspond to any filed flight plan. The existence of the radar contact was discovered only when military officials began reviewing tapes later in the morning on March 8, after the passenger jet failed to arrive in Beijing. It was already becoming clear that morning, only hours after the unauthorized flyover, that something had gone very wrong. Tapes from both the Butterworth and Kota Bharu bases showed the radar contact arriving from the area of the last known position of Flight 370, the person familiar with the investigation said. A week after the plane disappeared, the trail is even colder as the search now sprawls from the snowy peaks of the Himalayas to the empty expanses of the southern Indian Ocean. Nobody knows yet whether the delays cost the lives of any of the 239 people who boarded the flight to Beijing at Kuala Lumpur’s ultramodern airport here. But the mistakes have accumulated at a remarkable pace. Finding the plane and figuring out what happened to it is now a far more daunting task than if the plane had been intercepted. If the aircraft ended up in the southern Indian Ocean, as some aviation experts now suggest, then floating debris could have subsequently drifted hundreds of miles, making it extremely hard to figure out where the cockpit voice and data recorders sank. And because the recorders keep only the last two hours of cockpit conversation, even the aircraft’s recorders may hold few secrets. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey #10 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 It's pretty clear to me now. One of the pilots was a politically outspoken man. His leader was jailed and his family left his house. He had nothing to lose and the nerves took the best of him. It seems like, he just put the plane on auto pilot mode and when it ran out of fuel, it either landed on a secluded land area or more likely the Ocean.
