BC Tam 2 Report post Posted April 16, 2015 I should think that the military had better buck up. With China now flexing its military muscles and claiming territories in SE Asia aggresively, we need to be more vigilant. A few decades ago there was an article published in Air International, featuring the RMAF as it was then - what was the hardware available, what are future plans etc etc. I must have a copy archived somewhere, darned if I know where What struck me then was an observation by the RMAF top guy then about how the Vietnamese AF could have mounted a low level intrusion into Malaysian territory and obliterated our facilities at NE Peninsular before we knew anything about it Happily, Vietnam has since proven to be a much friendlier neighbour than that assessment may have suggested Pity though that our military's state of awareness seem, well, remained status quo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xtemujin 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) MH370 search will not be expanded further: Australia 3 June 2015 Wednesday The hunt for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 will not be expanded beyond its current search area unless there are specific new leads, Australian officials said Wednesday. In April, more than a year after the plane vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 mostly Chinese people on board, Malaysia, Australia and China announced that the search zone would double in size. This boosted the area of the remote southern Indian Ocean being scoured by three specialist vessels to 120,000 square kilometres (46,300 square miles). But it will not be expanded any further, the Australian-led Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC) said in an update. "In the absence of credible new information that leads to the identification of a specific location of the aircraft, governments have agreed that there will be no further expansion of the search area," it said. The hunt for the aircraft, which disappeared on March 8 last year, has been a complex undertaking, with Australia initially concentrating on a remote 60,000 square kilometre area of the ocean far off its west coast. The zone was determined by analysing data from satellite signals which indicate the plane went down in the Indian Ocean after mysteriously diverting. More than 50,000 square kilometres of the seafloor have been scoured so far with no trace of the jet, JACC said, and with the onset of winter and poor weather the operation is slowing down. The deep underwater search, using sonar equipment after the ocean floor was closely mapped last year, is currently suspended with waves reaching up to 12 metres (39 feet), although ships remain on the scene. It will continue once conditions improve but be scaled back with one of the vessels, GO Phoenix, ceasing operations and returning to Singapore near the end of June. A fourth vessel previously involved in the search, Fugro Supporter, was withdrawn in May amid the worsening conditions. "Safety of the search crews, as always, remains a priority and vessels and equipment utilised will vary to reflect operational needs, particularly during winter months," JACC said. "Search operations will continue through the winter months, but pauses are anticipated." http://news.yahoo.com/mh370-search-not-expanded-further-australia-072753730.html Edited June 3, 2015 by xtemujin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suzanne Goh 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2015 http://www.airlive.net/2015/07/breaking-piece-of-wing-found-on-la.html A piece of aircraft wreckage has turned up on the island of La Réunion. A lot of speculation right now that it could belong to MH370, or even South African Airways Flight 295, a Boeing 747 which crashed in 1987. The springbok has been at the bottom of the ocean for almost 30 years - I wonder if a part would look like that after that amount of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel Kong 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2015 it's quite amazing that not everyone was on alert about debris on Reunion, even the guy who reported the flaperon had to google and find out about MH370. As for the guy who found the seat, it's very nice he's come forward but unfortunately he burnt the evidence and can't claim to be the first person to hand anything in. All this makes me wonder, are investigators doing enough to tell the relevant authorities of countries to be on alert for missing plane pieces? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alif A. F. 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2015 A Malaysian official said the metal handle is a 'domestic ladder'. I noticed some people in the social media still coming to terms with a witness that burned the suspected debris. Madagascar and Mauritius should be alerted too. The former alone has 3000 miles of coastline, so pieces of wreckage might have washed ashore on remote beaches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
