iwan 3 Report post Posted March 22, 2014 Seems like there is a new lead with the chinese reporting spotting of large debris 22mX30m. Possible the fuselage or wings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azman MN 1 Report post Posted March 22, 2014 Agreed. If you had your fun inside a cockpit while the aircraft is operating, this would mean passengers' safety is compromised. No authorities would allow this to happen. As I have posted before, my blonde colleague got invited to sit in the cockpit on our Swiss flight. It wasn't her first time...

She probably won't last long before she needed to be refuelled again. The dimension is now reported to be 22mx13m.Seems like they need a long time to confirm the images. From obtaining the images over the satellite to publicly announce their finding to informing Malaysia of their findings. Australia took 4-5 days and so did the Chinese. I just hope the object is still there by the time the reached there. Does anyone know who the owner of 9M-MRO is? Is she owned by MAS or PNB?

Search area is vast - I think Malaysian assets are deployed at the northern end of the southern corridor. I think even here, there are Indonesian vessels and aircraft searching. And a US Navy P-3 is flying out of Subang too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil M. 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 Surely its not too much to ask for one or two Malaysian registered aircrafts to be part of the SAR there?It is our aircraft those people are looking for! It would be good for morale of the SAR teams for that part of the southern corridor .Verifying those satellites images has been proven difficult to verify every little helps.IMHO.I sure love to see Uncle Najibs VIP transport leading the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johan Z 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 From what I got on the news, Chinese sent their aircraft with radars and all high-tech equipment. I don't think Malaysia have the same capability. Plus, Australia took over the operations and they have everything covered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Southern search for MH370 picks up despite possible rain Ten aircraft have been deployed in the search for a lost Malaysia Airlines 777-200 today, while analysis of the aircraft’s last Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) transmission shows that Beijing was still the aircraft’s programmed destination 15 minutes before its transponder fell silent. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) says the ten aircraft are a mixture of military and civilian assets, including two Chinese Ilyushin IL-76s, Bombardier Global Express aircraft, Lockheed Martin AP-3C Orions, and a US Navy P-8 Poseidon. The search area for 24 March is to the east of previous search zones, according to an illustration published by AMSA. Located 1,970km from Perth, the zone should allow for aircraft to spend more time on station owing to a shorter transit time. Previously, aircraft were required to travel about 2,300km to reach the search area.

leon t 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 If the Malaysian govt really is delaying and refusing to give the cargo manifest then it must be hiding something or some cargo details. As said the RMAS primary radar that supposedly recorded the blip and did nothing abt it is really a big security risk to the country and to that of our neighbouring countries too. In the first place how can the RMAF say its "not hostile" when it may not even have known passes through its airspace too! And what we heard from the acting transport minister who is also the defence minister as replying to foreign media that Malaysia's submarines are Not equipped with active n passive sonars??? How come submarines are not equipped with such or more sophisticated radars then how is it to prevent or be defensive?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
