Flight MH370: The New and Improved Flight Path

Everything you thought you knew was wrong.

Here's the shiny, new flight path, polished up and ready for prime time.


INMARSAT Senior Vice President Chris McLaughlin told Megyn Kelly on Monday that the company is certain that missing flight MH370 went down in the southern Indian Ocean. Chris McLaughlin told Kelly the plane went back west over the Andaman Islands and then went south.

MH370: "NO WRECKAGE HAS YET TO BE RECOVERED."


Grammar, bitchez!

A summary of the Morphing/Postmodern narrative:


    "No wreckage has yet to be recovered."
Says it all, doesn't it?
What happened to this data (Lea Gabrielle at 01:22 )?
The Way Point on the northwet side of her screen is "IGREX" on Jet Route "P628" where the heading changes to a more northerly direction 320 degrees to PORT BLAIR Navaid.
That's a total airborne time of about 4 hours 40 minutes from takeoff.

The arc graph shows the estimated range of the aircraft with it's remaining fuel IF it was flying at its MAXIMUM SPEED or 7 hours 30 minutes of fuel.

Now, from the article:
    this statement towards the end of his article.
      " A satellite was able to pick up a ‘ping’ from the plane until 08:11 local time,
        more than seven hours after it lost radar contact,
          although it was unable to give a precise location.
      Mr Razak went on to say that based on this new data, investigators ‘have determined the plane’s last communication with a satellite was in one of two possible corridors –
        north from the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan through to northern Thailand, and south from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean. "


That's 7 hours and 31 minutes after takeoff.
    "... The plane departed for an overnight flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing at 12:40 a.m. on March 8. Its communications with civilian air controllers were severed at about 1:20 a.m., and the jet went missing ... "

That leaves 2 Hours 50 minutes to travel from "IGREX" on Jet Route "P628 to an undefined point on that arc of 7 hours 30 minutes from takeoff.

Let's say that the pilot leans the engines out to get the most out of his fuel for distance with the remaining time for "IGREX" and gets 3 hours if time,
before he hits his 20 minutes safety margin on fuel and then starts to burn his 1 hour emergency fuel.
At maximum speed of Mach 0.89 (590 mph, 950 km/h, 512 knots) at a cruise altitude of 35,000 ft , that would allow him 1770 miles of distance (to the red arc), before hitting his reserves.


          Gen. McInerney said Allama [ Iqbal International ] Airport was the same distance from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 point of departure, Kuala Lumpuras, its original destination airport, Beijing, China.
    Gen. McInerney also said that if Pakistan didn't speak up soon, they would be complicit.

    Now I ask you, if you heard another large jet land at an International Airport that had on average 4 other arrivals all around the same time, would you suspect anything out of the ordinary ?
    I just want to inform you that arrivals make a lot less noise than departures.
    Also, from an air traffic controller's point of view, there ARE PROCEDURES for clearing a "RADIO OUT" or "NORDO" aircraft to land, and once the aircraft is safely down, it's up to the Airfield Base Operations Officer and the Fire Chief as to how to handle it.
    They would probably have to fuel to refuel the 777 with little or no extra coordination.

    Now take a close look at the arc map below, three graphics down and center.
    Notice that Pakistan is within the "1 Hour Emergency Fuel Range" (second circle around the red arc), past the "20 minute safety fuel (first circle around the red arc).
    So it meets the criteria of being within the Red Arc "handshake" or the last ACARS Satellite "ping" and within fuel range of the Boeing 777 to Allama Iqbal Int'l Airport, Pakestan.

    It sounded like Gen. McInerney was all but threatening Pakistan to own up to it now, or suffer the consequences.



    Someone sent me another piece of information you should read.
        " Someone on another thread posted a link to a theory that the missing 777 used SIA68 (Singapore Airlines flight 68) to cloak their own airplane until they could get across the Indian Ocean, away from primary radar. http://keithledgerwood.tumblr.com/post/79838944823/did-malaysian-airlines-370-disappear-using-sia68-sq68 "
    That's a really good theory.
    But there's problems when you try to match it with the
    the arc graph (click on it for more detailed info) that shows the estimated range of the aircraft with it's remaining fuel IF it was flying at its MAXIMUM SPEED or 7 hours 30 minutes of fuel.

    Now, from the article:
      this statement towards the end of his article.
        " A satellite was able to pick up a ‘ping’ from the plane until 08:11 local time,
          more than seven hours after it lost radar contact,
            although it was unable to give a precise location.
        Mr Razak went on to say that based on this new data, investigators ‘have determined the plane’s last communication with a satellite was in one of two possible corridors –
          north from the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan through to northern Thailand, and south from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean. "
    My problem is ~ I don't know how accurate that Red Arc map is,
    and I don't know whether to trust it or not.


    Now another point, and PLEASE, PLEASE, tyake a look at the linked sources.
    Take a close look at this graphic.
    In the world of Air Traffic Contgrol, "Attention To Detail" is everything.
    Being accurate FIRST is everything.
    Being safe is everything.
    Speed comes later, but accuracy is a must.

    Now for other career fields, accuracy isn't stressed as much.
    Now let's ASSUME that, in the speed of getting out the information, that graphic is built on the WRONG degree off of that satellite.
    Look what that would do to the search area.

    What if a Muslim sympathizer was in the chain of people that disseminated that information.

    And take a look at the fuel capacity of the different models of Boeing 777-200,
      Maximum Fuel Capacitycan be from 31,000 U.S. gal (117,340 L) to 45,220 U.S. gal (171,170 L) to 47,890 US gal (181,283 L), depending on the configuration,
    and that can give it a Maximum range (at maximum payload {because MH370 might have weighed less, giving it a LONGER range} ) of from
      5,240 nautical miles (9,700 km, 6,027 miles) to 7,725 nmi (14,310 km, 8,892 mi) to 9,380 nmi (17,370 km, 10,793 mi), depending on its configuration.

    So the search area may change,
      but since we don't know the exact configuration of that particular aircraft, and we don't know if the Malaysia Officials are revealing ALL of the facts to us, or being honest with us,
    we must assume the worst.



    It took quite a bit of time to put it together.



    Gen. McInerney on the phone with Uma Pemmaraju on America's News HQ at 12:06 Central Time, said he thought the Pakistan Air Force had helped MH370 get into Pakistani Air Space.


    I think they are simply "giving up ...".

    About An Indonesian Terror Group


    From PJ Media:
    Indonesian Terror Group, Close Zawahiri Ally Previously Plotted Regional Hijackings

    WASHINGTON — An Indonesian terrorist organization that a senior defense official said this week posed a “serious transnational threat” has previously been caught planning hijackings in the region where Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared.

    U.S. military assets participating in the search and recovery efforts confirmed they were asked to relocate to the west side of Indonesia in the Indian Ocean as pings indicated the plane turned away from its route to China and turned back over the Malaysian peninsula. ABC News also reported Thursday that the data-reporting system on the flight shut down before the transponder, from 1:07 a.m.to 1:21 a.m., raising suspicions that the plane was at the hands of someone nefarious.

    Jemaah Islamiyah has long had designs on roping Malaysia and the Philippines into an Islamist state along with Indonesia, and was designated a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. government after the 2002 Bali nightclub bombing. The group has traditionally used Malaysia for fundraising and as a home base for trainees fresh from the Af-Pak region.

    JI plotter Mas Selamat Kastari, who escaped from custody in Singapore in 2008 and was recaptured in Malaysia the following year, was accused of orchestrating a plot earlier in the decade to hijack a plane out of Bangkok’s airport and crash it into Singapore’s airport.

    Jemaah Islamiyah had been considered a shadow of its former self in recent years, but the terror group’s name has been occasionally dropped on Capitol Hill as a jihadi movement getting a new lease on life in a post-Osama world.

    “Indonesians are the first — are for the first time going overseas to fight, not just to train, which has given rise to concerns that this conflict may breathe new life into the group Jemaah Islamiyah, which analysts previously considered to be moribund,” Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at a Syria hearing last week.

    [...]

    Jemaah Islamiyah was working with Osama bin-Laden to launch a coordinated strike on 9/11/01 that would hijack and crash planes at the same time as the attacks on the U.S. The Gitmo document says bin Laden found this too difficult to synchronize so he dropped the southeast Asian part of the plan; operatives involved had been mapping out locations of U.S. carriers in the area and staying in Kuala Lumpur during parts of the plotting.

    As far back as 1995, Hambali planned to bomb 11 U.S. airliners in southeast Asia. He also explored biological weapons programs and met with current al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri about bioweapons in Kandahar in 2001.

    In 2006, Zawahiri released a video announcing that Jemaah Islamiyah and al-Qaeda were, from that point forward, “one line” as strategic and ideological partners facing a mutual enemy.

    New Evidence Suggests That Plane Disappearance Was A Deliberate Act

    THE BARNEY FIFE OF MALAYSIA

    From the Business Insider:
    Two U.S. officials believe the shutdown of two separate communications systems from the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 happened at different times, indicating the disappearance was less likely the result of a catastrophic failure and more the result of a "deliberate act," according to a new report from ABC News. 
    Sources speaking with ABC believe the data reporting system was shut down at 1:07 a.m., while the transponder — sending out location and altitude data — was shut down at 1:21 a.m. 
    U.S. investigators are "convinced that there was manual intervention," one source told ABC, indicating an accident is not the reason the plane vanished.
    If the disappearance of the plane were a result of a catastrophic failure, such as an explosion or engine malfunction, the systems likely would have stopped transmitting at the same time or within a much shorter period. But a 14-minute delay raises even more questions. 
    Further, investigators suspect the missing flight stayed in the air for about four hours after it reached its last confirmed location, according to Andy Pasztor of The Wall Street Journal. That's led the search-and-rescue effort for the missing aircraft to now expand to the Indian Ocean. 
    "It's my understanding that based on some new information that's not necessarily conclusive, but new information, an additional search area may be opened in the Indian Ocean and we are consulting with international partners about the appropriate assets to deploy," White House spokesman Jay Carney told the WSJ. "There are a number of possible scenarios that are being investigated as to what happened to the flight, and we are not in a position at this time to make conclusions about what happened, unfortunately."  
    With an accident becoming less likely (but not entirely ruled out), the scenarios for what happened could come down to a hijacking or actions taken by rogue crew members. One person close to the investigation told The Wall Street Journal that there could be a third possibility: The plane could have been diverted "with the intention of using it later for another purpose." 
    "That's been a possibility right from the start," Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author, told Business Insider's Michael Kelley. "It's very unlikely, but I suppose it's conceivable."
    AND THIS BRINGS UP ANOTHER SUBJECT I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT. THE STORY IS GETTING VERY CONVOLUTED. THERE IS SO MUCH INFORMATION COMING OUT, AND SO MUCH OF IT IS CONTRADICTORY, THAT IT IS ACTUALLY LAUGHABLE.

    In my opinion, the reason for the labyrinthine aspect of the investigation is not primarily confusion.

    Instead, I believe it is disinformation being spread so that the authorities do not have to blame this on Muslim Jihadists.

    In Malaysia the reasons for this are obvious: Malaysia is a Muslim country. They are stupid and backward. They are so fucking backward they hired a God damned Witch Doctor to help them with the investigation: 

    Malaysia is being mocked by China for using “witch doctors” to find the mysteriously vanished flight MH370. The Malaysian Prime Minister’s Department said they welcome any help in finding the flight as long as it doesn’t interfere with Islamic customs.
    Ibrahim Mat Zin, a famous shaman, held a prayer at Kuala Lumpur’s airport on Monday and declared, “the plane is still in the air or has crashed into the sea.” He said he arrived at this conclusion using, “a fish trap hook and a bamboo binocular to search and ask for the victims to be found as soon as possible.”
    Now, let's look at all the information that has come out in the past day or two.

    I warn you, you're not going to be able to make heads or tails of this. The only reason I am presenting it is so you can see that what I say is true. This twisted thatch of contradictory information is explainable only as a series of lies, feints, and obfuscations. The Authorities have an agenda which has nothing to do with getting to the bottom of what is happening. Instead, their agenda is that the public never have a clue what has happened.


    Flight 370: Let the Confusion Continue


    From Ace of Spades:
    The bombshell from the WSJ is either right, right in the basics but wrong in the particulars (it wasn't the engines sending that data to a satellite, but an onboard system monitoring all systems), or just completely wrong, depending on who you ask.
    AND THEN THERE'S THIS:


    CNN source: Yes, the Malaysian jet sent engine data hours after it disappeared; AP source: No, it didn’t

    POSTED AT 5:21 PM ON MARCH 13, 2014 BY ALLAHPUNDIT


    I know most readers are hard at work and not following the news minute to minute so I thought I’d do you a solid by bringing you up to speed on the missing jet. To sum up: Everything is completely farked.
    Vaughn Sterling, Wolf Blitzer’s producer Tweeted:
    CNN JUST IN: Sr. aviation source w/detailed knowledge of the matter tells @RichardQuest the @WSJ story is wrong w/respect to engine data
    AND
    Same source to CNN: There was NO technical data from the plane which would suggest the Boeing 777 aircraft continued flying 4 hours

    Bombshell. The splashy WSJ story this morning about the jet flying on for hours after it went missing was wrong.
    Now here’s CNN again, as of about two hours ago:
    New information, U.S. officials told CNN, indicates the missing airplane could have flown for several hours beyond the last transponder reading.
    Malaysian authorities believe they have several “pings” of engine data from the airliner’s service data system, known as ACARS, transmitted to satellites in the four to five hours after the last transponder signal, suggesting the plane is believed to have flown into the Indian Ocean, a senior U.S. official told CNN. That information combined with known radar data and knowledge of fuel range leads officials to believe the plane may have made it to the Indian Ocean.
    Wait a sec. It was Malaysian authorities who dismissed the Journal’s story earlier today. Maybe they’ve changed their minds. The jet did fly on! They do have engine data, just like the Journal said!
    No, wait. The Journal’s not saying that anymore. There is data, just not engine data:
    Corrections & Amplifications
    U.S. investigators suspect Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 flew for hours past the time it reached its last confirmed location, based on an analysis of signals sent through the plane’s satellite-communication link designed to automatically transmit the status of onboard systems, according to people familiar with the matter. An earlier version of this article incorrectly said investigators based their suspicions on signals from monitoring systems embedded in the plane’s Rolls-Royce PLC engines and described that process.
    So, er, the plane was transmitting data from some of its systems afterward, but not the engine systems specifically as the Journal claimed earlier. Well, okay.
    Wait, scratch that. Nope, it wasn’t transmitting anything once it dropped off radar. So says a different source to the AP:
    A U.S. official says there were no data transmitted on the status of a missing Malaysia Airlines jet’s engines after contact was lost with the plane…
    The official said there was information about the Boeing 777-200′s engines sent via a digital datalink along with other information on the functioning of the plane before contact was lost.
    Wait — so it wasn’t transmitting engine data after it dropped out of contact or it wasn’t transmitting any data? We don’t care which data it was precisely. All we’re looking for is a heartbeat here, regardless of which onboard system it’s coming from, to show that the jet was functioning in some way after it went off the communications grid.
    Actually, I think ABC’s gotten to the bottom of this. CNN’s second report quoted above is basically right. There’s something onboard (not an engine system but something else) that checks in with satellites hourly. Sounds like they detected four or five satellite “pings” from the plane after it dropped off radar, ergo they assume it flew on for four or five hours afterward.
    No, wait. Scratch that too:
    It’s not clear what the indication was, but senior administration officials told ABC News the missing Malaysian flight continued to “ping” a satellite on an hourly basis after it lost contact with radar. The Boeing 777 jetliners are equipped with what is called the Airplane Health Management system in which they ping a satellite every hour. The number of pings would indicate how long the plane stayed aloft…
    The official initially said there were indications that the plane flew four or five hours after disappearing from radar and that they believe it went into the water. Officials later said the plane likely did not fly four or five hours, but did not specify how long it may have been airborne.
    I wonder why they’ve now reconsidered that. Maybe they think … the plane landed in the Indian Ocean intact and kept transmitting for an extra hour or two before it sank? Could it have stayed afloat that long?
    AND THEN THERE'S THIS:



    This FoxVideo report, "Aviation expert on why Flight 370 may have been diverted"mentions @1:45 there are :
    "five different ways [for pilots] to report back to home base or somewhere, wouldn't they figure out a way to get some message out?"

    To which this aviation expert resonds: 

    "Every pilot is trained to first fly the airplane and then communicate. So, if they are not doing that and the airplane is airborne, they're disabled"

    I beg to differ here, specifically in this instance because of the reports of multiple security breaches which include:

    5 passengers checking in but not boarding, only to have this point later denied, 

    questions about Faruq Abdul Hamid, the 27 year old co-pilot who entertained young pretty passengers and crew members in the cockpit, 

    The multiple passengers traveling with stolen passports

    'stolen passports' being of particular interest given

    Uighurs were deported to China from Malaysia in 2011 and 2012 for carrying false passports. 

    “Data from Interpol show there were 39 million lost or stolen passports as at the end of last year.” 

    “Interpol says no country checked its database for information about stolen passports that were used to board the Malaysia Airlines flight..."


    via Calcutta News: Travel by passengers with stolen identities can be prevented . . .but apparently WASN’T

    . . .etc. 

    In my opinion, another possible scenario to consider, beyond the suggested possibility of a disabled flight crew, especially given the aggregious, albeit partial list of security breaches above, 

    consider a complicit flight crew 

     AND THEN THERE'S THIS:

     As search for MH370 continues, police take close look at Uighur passenger, crew

    AND THIS:
