Mike P 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 Missing MH370: Passengers with stolen passport had 'Asian features' http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2014/03/10/Missing-MAS-flight-Suspect-stolen-passport-Asian-features/Though many European or Western countries, particularly USA, people have Asian features but they could just be some Asians babies from China, Korea or even Vietnam adopted by western couples. The only way to testify them is by their listening to their accent. I would say the immigration officers have not performed their duty thoroughly by raising suspicion on the impostors, by engaging conversation with them and if they sounded like Thai, something was really wrong and they had the right to detain these impostors for further questionings.

aizuddin 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 Military radar works on radar return but atc radar is transponder based. So if the transponder signal is lost atc radar won't be able to pickup the return from the plane but military radar scan everything that is flying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najib Ramli 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 The IGP just said that they've identified 1 of the 2 impostors...and that there's no records of them entering the country legally.....so could they be transit passengers? if i'm using stolen passport I would definitely try to avoid as much immigration counters as possible.... and i'm sure that the immigration at KLIA would have detained them while they're trying to pass since there's no record of them coming in in the 1st place...

RMAF should reveal more about the radar record e.g. tracking, duration etc else is unhelpful to SAR effort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cire 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 Look at the wrong place... So does it mean that we rely too much on Flightradar to locate the plane? Yeah, maybe the authority should look at the wrong place for a change. Perhaps one or two vessels spared for this unseeming locations. What is there to loose since the authority too have activated its west coast assets to check the waters off PNG. Another baffling incidence.. a Chinese man claimed that his missing brother's mobile phone rang when he attempted to call him but it was not picked up. Could it add up to the assumption that the plane disintegrated mid-air and while overland and that the phone somehow landed intact on land ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
