MH-370 Investigation-Australian Style

Royal Australian Air Force pilot Flight Lieutenant Russell Adams 

 
Australia is coordinating the search operation of MH370. Many Nations are involved including Japan, China, Korea, Canada, New Zealand, USA, Britain, France and others.
 
The need to find the air craft is crucial for many reason. Knowing the cause is important for manufacturers and the whole world.  The cost of this operation may reach  Billions of  Dollars.

A Malaysian Airline counselor said we're assisting the families to the best of our abilities but the families want one thing that we can't give them.

May be the Australian can give them the answer. Listen to these Comments from Australian officials on the search

Tony Abbott Australia's Prime Minister said
We owe it to the grieving families of the 239 people on board,
we owe it to the anxious governments of all of the countries that have people on board that aircraft,
we owe it in particular to the Malaysians who are our friends and partners in so many regional ways,
we owe it to all of them to do whatever we reasonably can to get to the bottom of this mystery,”

Australian ambassador "Will search for the Aircraft until hell freezes over"
The Australian showed tremendous leadership and compassion by the politicians and the Searchers themselves.

Australia's influence and participation command respect.

A Haystack...MH370




 Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak (C) makes an announcement on the latest development on the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 plane at Putra World Trade Center in Kuala Lumpur March 24, 2014. Prime Minister Najib has told families of passengers of a missing Malaysian airliner that the plane ended its journey in the southern Indian Ocean, he said on Monday. Seen on right is Malaysia's acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein and on left is Department of Civil Aviation's Director General Azharuddin Abdul Rahman.  


Malaysia’s Prime Minister said "with deep sadness and regret, the MH 370 plane ended its journey in the Indian Ocean......"

One large objectwas photographed by Australian and Chinese satellites. French satellite pictures show possible debris from the missing Boeing 777, photographed in broadly the same area of the Indian Ocean.

A marker buoy was dropped at the site.   The air search is being supported by several ships in the area.

"We are not searching for a needle in a haystack but still trying to define where the haystack is" said Mark Binskin, the Vice Chief of Australia's Defense.

It is going to take more time, unknown amount of time. 

While the Malaysian Gov. and airline doing their best, it is time for the passengers' families to go home.  Say a prayer, wait for news, help with volunteer work, get support of the rest of their families and friends for a better emotional support.

It has been a terrible roller coaster of emotions.
I'll say a prayer for some good news.

Just a thought.

The Bojinka Plot, Malaysian Airplane !!






A British Islamist sentenced to 13 years in prison for plotting to blow up an aircraft, told a NY court recently that four to five Malaysian Islamists were planning to take control of a plane.

On December 11, 1994, a member of the Bojinka plot boarded a Philippine airline, using a false Italian passport.  He left a bomb under his seat and got off the plane. The blast blew a hole in the floor, killed one and injured many.

The Bojinka plot was a large-scale attack to assassinate Pope John Paul II, and air bombing of 11 airliners flying from Asia to the United States and kill their 4,000 passengers. The plot was disrupted after a fire drew the Philippine Police's attention on January 6, 1995.

What happened to the Malaysian airline is the same plan from decades ago. False passport, terrorist on board, gain control of the craft, crash it far, so rescue and recovery are difficult.

This terrorist act opens the door for a cooperation between 29 Nations in the area of counter terrorism. It should start with placing the names of members of terrorists organization on a no fly list, so they can't fly at all.

They and their close relatives can use alternative methods to cross the ocean. Build there terrorist airplane, and crash their own airplane. (Wikipedia)

What Happened to Malysia Airoplane?




Few facts from various reports:

Flight MH370 disappeared of the radar about an hour after it took off  from Kuala Lumpur.

The aircraft model Boeing 777-200ER, has an excellent safety record.

The pilots did not indicate any problem to the tower, and no distress signal was issued.

Malaysian military radar data suggest the plane might have turned back toward Kuala Lumpur at a lower altitude.

Two passengers, 18 and 29 YO Iranian boarded the plane using stolen passports.

Power failure, or manual attempt, could have disrupted the main transponder and its backup system, and the plane still could have flown for more than an hour. The plane's deviation could mean someone deliberately turned the plane around.

A hijacking of the airplane took place with the two Iranian on board.

Just a thought.
