HERE WE GO AGAIN: THE HIJACK THEORY RETURNS!
Free Malaysia Today
CANBERRA: Hijackers may have tampered with cockpit equipment on the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in an attempt to avoid radar detection, experts analysing a report released by an Australian government agency said.
The report, released by The Australian Transport Safety Bureau, showed there was a power outage that happened within 90 minutes of the missing jet leaving Kuala Lumpur.
The “not common” power event caused the Boeing 777′s satellite unit to attempt to log on to a satellite after power was restored.
The process of the plane attempting to connect to a satellite is known as a “handshake”.
“A log-on request in the middle of a flight is not common and can occur for only a few reasons,” the investigators said.
“An analysis was performed which determined that the characteristics and timing of the log-on request were best matched as resulting from power interruption to the SDU.”
Aviation expert Peter Marosszeky from the University of New South Wales told Fairfax newspaper group that this type of electrical event could have been a result of a hijacking attempt.
“The engines have their own little computer and they have their own power source by a generator on the gearbox.
“You can reset the power in some way, this way the aircraft would go dead as far as any satellite contact or any information being transmitted by transponders. They can reinstate it and re-initialise the flight management computers … it has to be a very clever pilot or person who really knows that aeroplane to be able to achieve that.”
It added another layer of complexity to the mystery of the Malaysian Airlines flight, which disappeared on March 8.

MH370: Passengers likely suffocated, Australia says

SYDNEY (Reuters): The passengers and crew of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 most likely died from suffocation and coasted lifelessly into the ocean on autopilot, a new report released by Australian officials on Thursday said.
In a 55-page report, the Australian Transport Safety Board outlined how investigators had arrived at this conclusion after comparing the conditions on the flight with previous disasters, although it contained no new evidence from within the jetliner.
The report narrowed down the possible final resting place from thousands of possible routes, while noting the absence of communications and the steady flight path and a number of other key abnormalities in the course of the ill-fated flight.
“Given these observations, the final stages of the unresponsive crew/hypoxia event type appeared to best fit the available evidence for the final period of MH370’s flight when it was heading in a generally southerly direction,” the ATSB report said.
All of that suggested that the plane most likely crashed farther south into the Indian Ocean than previously thought, Australian officials also said, leading them to announce a shift farther south within the prior search area.

‘Highly likely MH370 was on autopilot’
PETALING JAYA: Australia said the search for MH370 has shifted further south and the aircraft is now believed to have been on autopilot before it disappeared.
“It is highly likely that the aircraft was on autopilot.
“Otherwise, it could not have followed the orderly path that has been identified through the satellite sightings,” said Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss during a press conference in Canberra yesterday.
However, he said the investigators could not, and had not intended to, pinpoint the moment when the aircraft was put on autopilot.
“We know it was on autopilot during the critical phase of our tracking but it will be a matter for the Malaysia-based investigation team to look at precisely when it may have been put on autopilot,” said Truss, who also declined to comment on speculation about the pilot having flown the course on his simulator, pointing out that it was irrelevant to their task of finding the aircraft.
“I don’t really want to comment on areas which will probably be the responsibility of Malaysia and its investigators,” he said.

Hijacked and landed in China’s Xingjian province, Kyrgyzstan or Turkmenistan
A week after Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished in mid-flight, hobby pilot and aviation enthusiast Keith Ledgerwood decided to investigate theories related to its disappearance. Armed only with available civilian radar and amateur knowledge, he found unusual coincidences and decided to share them with the world.
His blog post contending that MH370 shadowed another aircraft went viral and is considered one of the more plausible, if dauntingly intricate, alternate theories about what happened to the plane.
Ledgerwood proposed that MH370 didn’t fly south, as is the consensus among experts based upon available data. Instead, he says, it headed north and flew in the shadow of another commercial flight, Singapore Airlines Flight 68, which was en route from Singapore to Barcelona at the time. This would effectively cloak MH370’s radar signal and prevent it from being detected, he wrote.
…
Ledgerwood, a 30-year-old IT professional from Cincinnati who has a pilot’s license and has flown air simulators since he was a teenager, decided to go public with his idea after concluding that no one else had proposed a logical explanation.
“No one in the media, no Malaysian official had published anything up to that point or spoken to the fact that the aircraft was anywhere near the Singapore Airlines flight at the time of its disappearance,” Ledgerwood told International Business Times.

Flight MH370 no accident, say New Zealand authors
BE prepared to be shocked.
At least that’s what the authors of a new book about the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 are promising.
Ewan Wilson, a commercial pilot, and Waikato Times journalist Geoff Taylor, claim in their book that the MH370 tragedy was no accident.
Good Night Malaysian 370: The truth behind the loss of Flight 370 will shock the travelling public, the authors say.
“For the first time we present a detailed analysis of the flight, the incredible route it took, and who we believe was in charge of the aircraft as it plunged into the Indian Ocean,” Wilson told Stuff.co.nz.
Wilson, a former CEO of two airlines, and Taylor say they investigated every piece of evidence and travelled to Malaysia to interview authorities and family members of MH370’s pilot, Zaharie Ahmad Shah.
Taylor said authorities were not willing to admit the truth.
“What happened to MH370 was no accident. It was deliberate and it was calculated and it should never have been allowed to happen,” he told Stuff.co.nz.

THERE IS A THEORY THAT MH370 FLEW TOO HIGH FOR TOO LONG, LEADING TO HYPOXIA.
Hypoxia is a condition in which the body lacks oxygen.

MH370 spent 23 minutes above maximum altitude, may have caused hypoxia, says expert
The Malaysian Insider – Wed, Mar 26, 2014
As investigators continue to analyse satellite data in the hope of finding answers on what happened to Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, an industry expert said the plane spent 23 minutes at up to 45,000 feet – way above its maximum altitude – and rendered everyone unconscious from the lack of oxygen, said a report in British tabloid Daily Mail.
The plane’s maximum service ceiling is 43,100 feet, but military radar had tracked the aircraft flying at between 43,000 feet and 45,000 feet shortly after the last communication from its cockpit.
“It was tracked flying at this altitude for 23 minutes before descending. Oxygen would have run out in 12 minutes (in a depressurised cabin), rendering the passengers unconscious,” said the source.
An expert said although the 777-200ER Boeing aircraft has a maximum service ceiling of 43,000 feet, it can probably fly safely at even greater heights.
But at that altitude, where the atmosphere drastically thins, it would take mere minutes if not seconds for hypoxia – a lack of oxygen – to set in, said the Daily Mail report.
Oxygen masks would have dropped down, but these only supply between five and 10 minutes of gas.
Andrew Rae, Professor of Experimental and Applied Aerodynamics at the University of the Highlands and Islands, told Daily Mail: “The venting of cabin pressure would be a problem at 10,000 feet, 30,000 feet or 43,000 feet, but the extra height might perhaps make things happen more quickly.
“The fact that the aircraft flew at 43,000ft should not itself trigger the emergency cabin oxygen supply.”
The air used for pressurising the cabin comes through the engine and wing, and is filtered before it enters the passenger environment.
The pressurisation system may need to be turned off if the aircraft enters dirty air, but investigators are looking at the possibility that it was disabled for sinister reasons, said the Daily Mail report.
