(Flight MH370) We never said the plane actually ‘crashed,’ Malaysia insists


(Flight MH370) We never said the plane actually ‘crashed,’ Malaysia insists
Malaysia took issue with the word “crash’’ today, saying the official government statement on March 24, never said so.
Words like “Crash" or “no survivors" had never been mentioned by Prime Minister Najib Razak (Pictured reading the statement on March 24) when announcing that the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 “ended’’ in the southern Indian Ocean on March 24.

Begs the question. . .(How) does the timing of this denial coincide with the alleged phone call from Philip Wood?

Yeah, that's what I was wondering.

Judge says Malaysian plane court filing improper

CHICAGO (AP) ? A judge has thrown out a civil action on behalf of a relative of a Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 passenger, scolding the Chicago law firm involved for what she described as an improper filing.
In a step toward a full-fledged lawsuit, Ribbeck Law Chartered asked Cook County Circuit Court last week to order Malaysia Airlines and Chicago-based Boeing Co. to turn over any documents related to the plane's disappearance.
Judge Kathy Flanagan rejected the firm's request in her four-page ruling Friday, saying the filing didn't conform to Illinois law, in part, because ordering evidence to be preserved can only happen when potential defendants are known.
The court papers were filed by the law firm on behalf of Januari Siregar, who the law firm says is a relative of Indonesian-born passenger Firman Chandra Siregar. The exact relationship wasn't clear from the documents.

China to send 50 observation satellites for global surveillance

Sydney, March 31 : China is reportedly planning to send a network of surveillance satellites in space in order to cover the entire earth.
If the plan materializes, more than 50 observation satellites will be sent in orbit within two years.

According to News.com.au, this would put the country's satellite surveillance capabilities on a par, or greater than, the US.

It is reported that the plan was born out of China's frustration over the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370.

Indignant gall:

•Hishammuddin has expressed frustration at the failure of international agencies, and the makes of plane and its engines, Boeing and Rolls-Royce, to explain what went wrong. In an interview with Chinese TV he said it was unfair for Malaysian Airlines to take all the criticism and it was time for international companies and agencies involved in the hunt to "stand out there".

Will Subang ATC now reveal initial response when MH370 went missing Aviation industry experts now want Malaysia's air traffic controllers to reveal their response when flight MH370 vanished early March 8, after the authorities finally said last night that the plane's pilots said "Good night Malaysian three seven zero" and not "All right, good night". The change in the conversation transcript is the latest in a series of changes in information about the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER (9M-MRO) which disappeared with 239 people while en route to Beijing 24 days ago.

"Subang air traffic control (ATC) has not said what it did when the plane vanished after it signed off from Malaysian airspace. Did they launch an immediate search and rescue?

"If the lack of military response is anything, it raises a lot of questions about the ATC's standard operating procedure (SOP)," an aviation expert told The Malaysian Insider, citing International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) regulations require immediate alerts to relevant search and rescue units.

Why are Malaysian lawmakers kept in the dark over MH370, asks DAP
Lim said US officials close to the investigation said that the FBI examined data it received from Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah's flight simulator, but found nothing illuminating.

Lim said clearly, US lawmakers were kept in the loop by US investigators into the missing MH370 and were regularly informed of the latest updates.

"It is not the case in Malaysia as MPs, whether from Barisan Nasional or Pakatan Rakyat, are kept completely in the dark about the developments of the MH370 crisis," Lim said.

"Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is at the centre of the biggest and longest ever multinational search and rescue operation for a missing aircraft," Lim said.
