Q. and A. on the Disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370

Posted by GH at 01:16 Be the first to comment!

The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 has left investigators, aviation experts and the authorities in several countries at a loss to explain what happened. As the search and inquiry continue, Matthew L. Wald, a correspondent for The New York Times, answers a few basic questions:

Q. How could a Boeing 777 simply vanish? Aren’t they always tracked by radar or satellites?

A. Radar coverage is not universal, especially over water. In areas without radar, pilots are generally required to radio in their positions at fixed intervals, mostly to assure that air traffic controllers can keep aircraft out of one another’s way. Between intervals, something could go wrong.

Planes like the 777 also have automatic systems that send out data on engine performance and other technical functions. Those signals go to a maintenance base, not to air traffic control. Air France used those signals to help determine what happened when its Flight 447 disappeared over the equatorial Atlantic. Investigators may be doing something similar in Kuala Lumpur.

Q. Plane crashes most often happen on landing or takeoff, but this flight vanished almost an hour after takeoff when it was cruising. What could cause a plane to crash at that point in a flight?

A. In three crashes at sea in the last few years, the aircraft’s speed-sensing systems have malfunctioned. In two of those cases, crews failed to diagnose and cope with the problem. (In the third, there was probably nothing they could have done.) A deliberate act by a pilot, terrorism or an attack in the cockpit could be other causes.

Q. Shouldn’t the signals from transponders or “black boxes” have pinpointed the aircraft by now?

A. If the black boxes are in water, “pingers,” which emit a tone, are activated. But these are audible only in a limited area. And the plane may not be in the water.

Q. Why would the authorities not have found debris after so many hours of searching?

A. They may not be looking in the right place. The plane flies at 10 miles a minute, and no one knows exactly when it crashed, or whether it departed its assigned track before doing so.

Q. How far from its last known location could the aircraft have strayed?

A. While we know where the last radio contact was, we do not know how long after that the airplane crashed, so it is hard to say. A jetliner cruising at 35,000 feet could glide as far as 80 or 90 miles after losing engine power if the pilots still had control.

Q. Are there any signs that terrorism might have been involved?

A. No group is known to have claimed to have destroyed the plane. Beyond that, not enough is known to speculate.

Q. If the plane had a major malfunction, wouldn’t the pilots have called for help and sent distress signals?

A. Pilots have a mantra for setting priorities in an emergency: aviate, navigate, communicate. The first priority is to fly the airplane. Telling air traffic controllers on the ground what is going on comes third, since doing so is unlikely to instantly yield any help with the crisis in the cockpit, whatever it may be. If the pilots are fighting to keep the plane aloft, they may not have time to use the radio.

Q. Could one of the pilots have crashed the plane deliberately?

A. It’s been known to happen: The crashes of an EgyptAir flight from Kennedy International Airport in 1999 and a SilkAir flight in Indonesia in 1997 were attributed to intentional acts by cockpit crew members. But nothing is yet known publicly to suggest that that happened on the Malaysia Airlines flight.

Q. Have other planes disappeared in this way in recent years?

A. There is no record of big planes simply disappearing, though they may take some time to find. A few pieces of debris from Air France Flight 447 were spotted floating in the Atlantic the day after the plane crashed in June 2009, but it took five days to find most of the wreckage. Small aircraft may be missing for much longer if they go down in remote areas. Steve Fossett, the daredevil adventurer who flew around the world solo in a plane and set records in a balloon, took off in his private plane in Nevada on Sept. 3, 2007, and his remains were found in October 2008.

MH370 : China deploys 10 satellites in search for MH370

Xi’an Satellite Monitor and Control Centre launches emergency response to aid in search for missing Malaysia Airlines jet as mystery deepens

BEIJING — China has deployed 10 high-resolution satellites to sweep and survey the South China Sea to find leads that could help locate the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, the Times of India reported.

Quoting the People’s Liberation Army, the newspaper reported that China’s Xi’an Satellite Monitor and Control Centre has launched an emergency response for the search and adjusted up to 10 high-resolution satellites to locate the missing plane.

The missing flight had 154 Chinese nationals on board, out of a total passenger list of 239. The flight, which was bound for Beijing, left the Kuala Lumpur International Airport early on Saturday and went off the radar less than an hour later.

A delegation from China was despatched to Kuala Lumpur last night to assist Malaysia in the search for the missing plane and to provide assistance and comfort to the families of the missing Chinese passengers.

Citing the Centre, the army said the centre purged the original commands of several satellites to offer full services in weather monitoring, communication and other aspects for the search, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

As pressure mounted from the relatives of passengers, the Chinese government called on Malaysia to accelerate the search and dispatched a high-level team to Kuala Lumpur.

“We hope Malaysia can fully understand China, especially the mood of the Chinese passengers’ families and speed up investigation, search and rescue efforts,” foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang told reporters.

“The missing plane belongs to the Malaysia Airlines, so it is reasonable that the Malaysian side takes the major responsibility for the search and rescue work,” Mr Qin said.

As there are more than 150 Chinese passengers on board, the Chinese government naturally takes a responsible attitude and has gone all-out to join in the process, he said.

Mr Qin said the top priority remains search and rescue. Naval vessels, coast guard, rescue ships and cargo ships dispatched by China are expected to arrive, or have arrived at the suspected waters.

Thirty four planes, 40 ships and teams from ten countries are involved in search operations that have been widened up to the Andaman Sea after radar data indicated the plane may have turned around to head back to Kuala Lumpur.

About the likelihood of militants from Xinjiang carrying out sabotage of the plane, he confirmed that no Chinese citizens’ passports were stolen, saying previous media reports were caused by the wrong passport numbers provided by Malaysia Airlines. THE MALAYSIAN INSIDER

Malaysia Airlines: Missing Plane Search Expands

Posted by GH at 22:14 Be the first to comment!

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — The search area for a missing jetliner has expanded with Malaysian Airlines saying the western coast of the country is now the focus of the hunt.

That is on the other side of Malaysia from where flight MH370 was reported missing.In a statement Tuesday it said the hunt had expanded beyond the flight path, and the "focus is on the West Peninsular of Malaysia at the Straits of Malacca."

Civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman says search teams continued to look in both areas.

Vietnam's deputy military chief says he had ordered a land search for the plane up to border with Laos and Cambodia.

The announcements reflect the difficulty authorities are having in finding the plane, which was carrying 239 people when it vanished off radar screens Saturday.

Update #MH370 : Raja bomoh sedunia VIP nujum tiba beri bantuan

Posted by GH at 21:49 Be the first to comment!

Balai Ketibaan Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur (KLIA) gempar seketika petang semalam selepas muncul seorang lelaki yang mendakwa sebagai Raja Bomoh Sedunia Nujum VIP yang kononnya mampu membuat ramalan berhubung keadaan pesawat MH370 yang dilaporkan hilang sejak Sabtu lalu.

Bomoh terbabit, Datuk Mahaguru Ibrahim Mat Zin, 80, yang berpengalaman lebih 50 tahun mendakwa berdasarkan upacara yang dilakukan selama 30 minit itu, beliau mendapat alamat bahawa kesemua penumpang pesawat terbabit dipercayai masih berada dalam keadaan selamat di satu lokasi tertentu terletak antara Laut China Selatan, Filipina dan sebuah negara asing yang tidak dapat dipastikan.

"Saya nampak pesawat itu masih tergantung di ruang udara, di tengah -tengah ketiga-tiga lokasi terbabit.

"Saya tak dapat jelaskan secara terperinci soal keselamatan mereka tetapi percaya pesawat itu mungkin berada dalam dua keadaan sama ada diculik oleh pihak tertentu atau disembunyikan di alam ghaib", katanya semalam.

Upacara ritual itu menggunakan peralatan khas iaitu teropong buluh serta bubu mata pancing sebagai simbolik untuk memperoleh alamat terkini berhubung keadaan pesawat terbabit.

Ibrahim berkata, bubu mata pancing terbabit sebagai simbolik penjara di mana pesawat itu dipercayai berada dalam cengkaman pihak tertentu atau ditawan di alam bunian.

"Kita gunakan teropong sebagai simbolik meminta anasir-anasir terbabit untuk membebaskan pesawat terbabit secepat mungkin.

"Upacara yang kita buat turut menggunakan ayat-ayat suci al-Quran iaitu surah Nabi Yunus dan surah Yassin,"katanya.

Dalam upacara tersebut, Ibrahim turut mempelawa beberapa individu daripada pelbagai bangsa termasuk seorang wakil media untuk membuat ritual pembebasan dengan meletakkan bubu mata pancing di atas kepala mereka.

Menurut bomoh yang mendakwa pernah menampar buaya tembaga sehingga mati itu, selain upacara terbabit, seramai 100,000 ahli Persatuan Silat Gayung Ghaib dan Selendang Merah turut melakukan solat hajat serta berdoa semoga pesawat yang hilang ditemui dalam minggu ini.

Katanya, pihaknya sudah melakukan perkara yang sepatutnya dilakukan dan selebihnya terserah kepada Allah SWT.

Beliau berkata, pihaknya mendapat jemputan daripada seseorang yang 'penting' untuk melakukan upacara tersebut semalam.

Ibrahim sebelum ini mendakwa pernah terlibat dalam membuat ramalan untuk kes antaranya berkaitan kes tragedi Highland Tower serta membatalkan ilmu hitam Mona Fendy agar hakim dapat menjalankan tugas di Mahkamah Temerloh, Pahang
