– The plane was “turned” westward by computer shortly after takeoff from Malaysia
– A person in the cockpit typed in the codes and “entered” the flight management system
– The scenario that the two Malaysia Airlines pilots are involved is strengthened
– Searches in the Indian Ocean were limited to 600,000 square kilometers (an area the size of Spain and Portugal)
– Boeing is also searching for China on its territory
The pilot was politicized and had been photographed wearing a "Democracy is dead" T-shirt, and the co-pilot was the one who, completely calm, said goodnight to the control tower in the last communication of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing, before disappearing from radar and off the face of the earth.
For another day, the search for the plane with 239 people on board remains fruitless. Australia announced that it managed to… limit (?) the search to an area of 600,000 square kilometers, China also begins land searches but with zero results. Only scenarios…
The latest of these is published in the New York Times. The newspaper cites top American officials, according to whom the change of course of the plane and the turn to the West was done by a computer and someone from inside the cockpit, who accessed the system and changed the flight path.
The mystery man had knowledge of the plane's operating system and instead of changing the course manually, he did so by typing seven or eight codes into the computer that controls the flight management system, according to American officials.
The Flight Management System, as the computer is known, directs the plane from point to point based on the flight plan. It is unclear whether the aircraft's course was reprogrammed before or after takeoff.
The new scenario further strengthens the assessment that the Malaysian Airlines Boeing was hijacked and that the pilots of flight MH370 may be involved in the case.
Fleas in the hay! They are looking for the Boeing in an area the size of Iberia!
Australian authorities have managed to… narrow down the search area for the missing plane to… an area of 600,000 square kilometers in the southern Indian Ocean. An area the size of Spain and Portugal combined!
Strong currents and bad weather conditions are further complicating the search.
In the northern hemisphere, the search includes an arc that starts in Malaysia and extends to northern Thailand, Myanmar, China and Kazakhstan.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) clarified that the southern search area for the missing aircraft was reduced from the 19 million square kilometers that it was initially based on the analysis of satellite data carried out by the United States National Transportation Safety Center, while AMSA itself further limited the area based on the movements of sea currents over the past ten days.
However, in addition to the Indian Ocean, China announced that it is now searching for the missing plane on its territory, while denying that any of the Boeing's Chinese passengers could be linked to its disappearance.
