PERKEMBANGAN TERKINI MH 370 B777-200 :

TEORI 'DI HIJACK' SEMAKIN TERSERLAH

Did MH370 fly on for hours? Satellite data indicates Malaysia Airlines flight may have strayed as far off course as the Indian Ocean

US investigators are convinced the communication systems on Flight MH370 were shut down by someone on board and have satellite data showing the missing plane flew on for up to five hours after it disappeared.
Intermittent data “pings” from the missing Malaysia Airlines jet reportedly gave its location, speed and altitude for an extended period after it disappeared from civilian radar screens, with the last transmission putting the plane over water at a “normal” cruising altitude.
The latest developments — which heighten fears of a terror hijacking or bizarre action by the pilots — have emerged as the search continues to be dogged by confusion and counter-reporting, nearly a week after the plane vanished.
Sources have told America’s ABC News that two communications systems on the Malaysia Airlines jet were shut down separately, more than 10 minutes apart.

NEW HOSTAGE THEORY
The data reporting system was turned off at 1:07am, while the transponder — which continuously transmits key flight information — was shut down at 1:21am.
This would indicate the flight, carrying 239 people including six Australians, did not suffer some kind of immediate catastrophic failure or accident.
Despite authorities in Malaysia denying that the Boeing 777 flew on for an extended period after it was last tracked on radar en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur, unnamed US officials have said the plane did send signals to a satellite for four or five hours after it went missing.
This indicates it was still flying and may have even reached the Indian Ocean — hundreds of kilometres away to the west from its intended course.
