Following Malaysian Prime Minister Najiv Razak's announcement this morning that techniques "never before used in an investigation of this sort" had proven beyond doubt that the Boeing 777 had crashed, new information has been revealed about the complex investigation that managed to prove the fate of the flight.
Those techniques were used by mobile communications company Inmarsat, which provides satellite data for the airline.
Even though the plane's transponder and ACARS system had been turned off, the company's box on the plane - equivalent to a mobile phone handset - had remained on and was polled every hour by Inmarsat's satellite.
Hourly "pings" still being sent after the plane's tracking systems had been switched off contained no data about the plane’s location but were just a simple "hello" to alert that the aircraft was still travelling.
Although they didn't provide technical data, their timing and frequency contained hidden mathematical clues that allowed investigators to track the likely path and final location of the plane.
So, the Prime Minister is saying that after 2 weeks they realize they had a phone turned on?

It was the pilots ship, he was the Capt. They didn't have to accuse him, it was his responsibility...... Why so far off course with any alarm sounded?..somebody flew that plane for hrs......unless they find the box & clear his name.....it was his responsibility, his blame....

I know that, my dad was a UAL pilot. They 1st accused him(Malasian) of being jihadi/islamist, brought in that pic of an unauthorized civilian woman in the cockpit (so he's a womanizer), the simulator at home, the supporting of the gay politician, ad nauseum. They didn't leave it at just "he's the Captain", they smeared him everyway they could. That god damned phone was on and it was almost week before they considered the plane went the other way, when the phone could have told them the 1st day. Total amateur hour

Yeah, I hope they find it to clear the pilot's name. BS hwo they've hung their hats on him being the bad guy. Innocne ttil proven guilty my ass
i hope the find the black box too, its got 2 hrs of voice recording that hopfully is going to paint a very clear picture of what happened that day.. Unfortunately It only has a month of battery life for it to send the signal so there running out of time to pin point the area to pick up ut signal or this will be a long time if ever before they can put this to rest.
as for the pilots, i agree innocent untill proved guilty and they've slandered him the bad guy to soon.. It makes you wonder how the plane could have gotten down there?

Just dosn't make sense , i think they are hidding alot of info from the public and all other countries trying to help with the search .
there has to be something going on behind the curtains that there not sharing.. Its to much of a cock up to be an amateur's mistake with this investigation

The pilot knows about the recorder, and that the plane turned the plane and not him. What none of them knew is that Boeing planes send engine data to Boeing during flights.

This plane as loooong range and self starter. Perfect for terrorists.

Makes you wonder just who or what was on that plane? That's out in the middle of nowhere and a long way off course.....

it is a perfect plane for terrorist but if it was a terrorist act then why has no one claimed it? Unless these the two on board with stolen passports were two little shit heads trying to make a name for them self's, like the two fuck wits that planted bombs at the Boston marathon, and Its just gone all wrong for them and they've crashed the plane into the ocean?
just something that ran through my head the other day..

did they check the manifest of the plane to see if there was anything out of the ordinary in the cargo? Cant remember hearing if they did or not.

Last week reporters asked what the plane was carrying, anything dangerous?, the Prime Minister says oh no, just 4 tons of mangosteens and that got a laugh; Saturday the same prick says "ahhh" a load of lithium laptop batteries. These batteries are unstable and have caused over 130 plane fires in the last 7 years.

must have missed that.. What a dick, probably has no idea, if it were lithium laptop batteries wouldn't you think you would transport them another way, rather then put a load of them on a passenger plane knowing how unstable they are? Alot of this just doesn't make sense

Exactly. Not a damned thing has been on point, and why is the Prime Minister of the country doing all the talking? What the fuck does he know, he's a pol. Where is the Pres of the airline? The head of Air Safety or the military?

Exactly ........
The relatives of those killed on Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 will receive US$5000 ($5,500) in compensation from the airline and "continued support".
That makes up for it !!!!!!!!!!!!!


The announcement was made today by Malaysia Airlines CEO, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, who said the airline is prepared to increase their payments as the search for the plane's wreckage continues.
"This unprecedented event in aviation history has made the past 18 days the greatest challenge to face our entire team, " Mr Yahya said.
In added heartbreak for the relatives, it emerged today that some families were told by text that the passenger jet crashed into the southern Indian Ocean leaving no survivors.


March 25, 2014: Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announces that according to new data, Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 ended in the Southern Ocean.

The SMS was sent out to the next-of-kin before Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announced that the plane had crashed into the Indian Ocean.
"Malaysia Airlines deeply regrets that we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and none of those on-board survived," the text read.
Meantime, Australian Defence Minister David Johnston says until debris is recovered and positively identified as being from Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, any information about the search for the missing plane is speculation.
"The turning point for us, I think, will be when we pull some piece of debris from the surface of the ocean and positively identify it as being part of the aircraft," he told reporters at the RAAF Pearce air base north of Perth on Tuesday.
"This is a mystery and until we recover and positively identify a piece of debris, everything is virtually speculation."


March 25, 2014: Distraught families and loved ones of those on board Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 learn the fate of the missing jet.

He said the search continued to be "fairly urgent" given there's only some 13 days of life left on the beacon battery that would pinpoint the location of the black box.
However, the search has been suspended due to bad weather in the area.

Satellite images taken three days ago show 122 potential pieces of debris from the missing Malaysian Airline flight MH370, Malaysia's Transport Minister has revealed.

Hishammuddin Hussein described the latest - and largest - find of objects that may have come from the plane at a daily press briefing in Kuala Lumpur.
The news comes after satellite images from China, Australia and France showed items floating in the southern Indian Ocean, where the plane is believed to have crashed, leaving no survivors. So far, none of the objects has been recovered.
"Yesterday, on the 25th of March, the Malaysian Remote Sensing Agency, MRSA, received new satellite images from Airbus Defence and Space, which is based in France, and these images were taken on the 23rd of March," Mr Hussein said on Wednesday evening.
"MRSA analysed the images and in one area of the ocean, measuring some 400 square kilometres, were able to identify 122 potential objects.
"Some objects were one metre in length, other objects were as much as 23 metres in length. Some of the objects appeared to be bright, possibly indicating solid material.


March 25, 2014: The CEO of Malaysian Airlines, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, today told media that his company has provided $5000 to the family of each victim of the MH370 flight and will continue to support them.

"It must be emphasised that we cannot tell if the potential objects are from MH370. Nevertheless, this is another new lead that will help direct the search operation."
The minister said the objects were found about 2557 kilometres from Perth, Western Australia, which is the base for the six-nation search effort.
Mr Hussein said MRSA immediately forwarded the information to Australian authorities, who have accounted for drift in their calculations.
When the search resumed on Wednesday after being suspended for 24 hours due to bad weather, a dozen planes travelled to the search area and were joined by HMAS Success and Chinese polar supply ship Xue Long.
A Japanese Gulfstream jet also flew to Perth to become involved in any search on Thursday if weather permits, but the Bureau of Meteorology has forecast gale force winds and thunderstorms in the remote area.
It's a race against time to detect and recover the black box, given there are only some 12 days of life left on the beacon battery that would pinpoint its location.


March 25, 2014: It was the last thing the families of those on board the missing flight MH370 wanted to hear, confirmation that the plane did crash into the Indian Ocean with no chance of survivors.

It may have already sunk to the bottom of the sea.
A scramble is underway to send black box detectors and a robotic underwater vehicle to the search site, but University of Sydney associate professor Peter Gibbens said the odds were "stacked against" black box recovery teams.
Mr Hussein said he thought Malaysia had done a good job in getting 26 nations to work together with "unprecedented co-operation" in the search and shrugged off criticism of the Malaysian authorities' response to the crisis.
"I think history will judge us well," he said.
Mr Hussein said he appreciated many families of those on board still don't accept their loved ones had been lost.
"I am a father and a brother and I know what they are going through," he said.
"Until we find the debris and we confirm that the debris belongs to MH370, the very questions they are asking we cannot provide."
Mr Hussein said Malaysia would never give up trying to find the plane.
"Our determination to find MH370 remains steadfast."
Malaysia Airlines - which was forced to defend its use of text messages on Monday to inform some families of the passengers and crew that their loved ones were believed to be dead - is now taking the lead in communicating with them.
Hundreds of relatives of those aboard the missing plane are expected to travel to Perth in the coming week.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority later tweeted that three objects were spotted on Wednesday in the search area identified by the new French satellite information.

It took hrs for this plane to fly that far off course. Why no alarms? Why no cell phone usage? How do you shut-up 200+ people and pilots at the same time, & keep flying for hrs?.......???

On 911 people on the hijacked plane were calling home within mins of the hijack.....

Why is the plane designed so the pilot (or anyone) can turn off 'ALL' tracking signals?.....that only invites terrorists....

That's what happens when Book sense over rules common sense.
Technology may be advancing, but people are getting dumber every day.
