“What I stated during that press conference was: ‘The RMAF has not ruled out the possibility of an air turn back on a reciprocal heading before the aircraft vanished from the radar and this resulted in the Search and Rescue Operations being widen….’.”-General Rodzali bin Daud, Royal Malaysian Air Force

“If the military radar is correct, and we don’t know for sure if they were tracking the right target … it would be consistent with an intentional act by someone in the cockpit to turn off both the transponder and turn the aircraft on to a new course…If it had turned back, the Malaysian air force would have gone into the skies. The aircraft was allegedly not emitting any transponder signals, so it would have been a foreign aircraft over Malaysia. There’s no technical or mechanical failure or any other reason I can come up with that would cause an aircraft to both lose its transponder, still fly and change course….”-John Hansman, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The Royal Malaysian Air Force did not scramble fighters to intercept any unidentified aircraft, because, it turns out, there wasn’t any on their radar.

 “…….there’s a fair bit of denial of the boarding procedures and the manifest checking with the stolen passport list, and inconsistencies all the time……..What I’ve advocated all along is what I call the ‘Silk Air Situation’ where the captain waited until the first officer left the flight deck, slammed the door and effectively committed suicide, taking everybody with him…..”-Neil Hansford, Strategic Aviation Solutions

“Cracking and corrosion in the fuselage skin, if not corrected, could lead to rapid decompression and loss of structural integrity of the aeroplane.“-U.S. FAA November 2013 warning about the Boeing 777

“I’ll demonstrate.  Depressurization.  They should put their…oxygen masks on, but instead they commence the turn onto the reciprocal heading [turn around]……having set the heading they passout unconscious.  The aircraft will continue on autopilot…it’s got 3-thousand miles worth of fuel on board, it would take it to about the middle of the India Ocean.”-Alastair Rosenschein, 30 veteran airline pilot using a flight simulator to prove his theory, to Sky News, that the crew passed out from a sudden depressurization.  Both Hansman and Hansford poopoo his theory, but Rosenschein points out this is exactly what happened to Helios Airways Flight 522 in Greece in 2005.

If MH370/CZ748 depressurized and broke up at about 30-thousand feet, you’ll be lucky to find any large pieces of it anywhere.

India is now helping to search for the MH370/CZ748 in the Indian Ocean.

“The missing Malaysia Airlines jet sent at least two bursts of technical data back to the airline before it disappeared. The first was at take-off and the second was during the climb towards Beijing. The data is from the Airborne Communications Addressing and Reporting System. The data may help investigators understand what went wrong with the aircraft, no trace of which has yet been found.“-Rolls Royce, the company that made the engines for the Boeing 777

“There is one report that fishermen in Port Dickson, which is a beach resort around 55 miles from Kuala Lumpur found what they believed to be a life raft around 10 nautical miles from the coast yesterday.  The yellow ‘raft’ had the word ‘BOARDING’ written on it…..It reportedly sunk before it could be brought ashore.”-The Telegraph

In Marang district, state of Terengganu, South China Sea side of Malaysia, eight villagers reported a loud noise over the ocean: “The loud and frightening noise came from the north-east of Pulau Kapas. We looked around the Rhu Muda beach but did not see anything unusual.”-Alias Salleh

This is the general area that earlier reports of sightings of a low flying aircraft and a bright light came from.

“We have already checked the flight manifest and everyone who bought the tickets was on board.  As such, the issue of off-loading unaccompanied baggage did not arise as the four passengers did not check in.”-Khalid Abu Bakar, Malaysian Inspector General of Police,  after days of reports by the Department of Civil Aviation that there were four or five people who checked in but did not get on the flight (more proof that glorious exalted governments are fallible)

The news media has upset some of the family members of passengers so much, that a group of six people began screaming at reporters to leave them alone as they left their hotel rooms.

Vietnam announced they are cutting back on search efforts over water.  However, they and other countries involved, are now searching over land areas.

As an example of Big Brother/Sisterism gone wild, the first couple of days of the disappearance of MH370/CZ748 government security officials from around the world pointed fingers accusing each other of failure of security protocols.  In the end it turns out protocols were followed (read  my past articles).  And now it looks less and less likely that terrorism was involved.  But that isn’t stopping government officials calling for yet more strict airport security!  The former Indonesian ambassador to the United States is even blaming people who lose, or who had stolen from them, their passports: “Many Indonesians lose their passports. Back when I was an ambassador, there were many of such reports. In the future, Indonesians who lose their passports should immediately report it.”-Dino Patti Djalal

I don’t know about you, but here in the States it costs you hard earned money to get a passport, and being a highly sensitive security item I find it hard to believe that generally honest people who lose it, or have it stolen from them, fail to report it.

Reportedly the last words sent by the aircrew of MH370/CZ748 was “Alright, good night.”, as they left Malaysian airspace and entered Vietnamese airspace.
