MH370 skirted Indonesia to avoid radar: report
NDTV ^ | April 6, 2014 | World | Press Trust of India

Posted on 04/06/2014 8:53:21 AM PDT by Uncle Chip

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 flew around Indonesian airspace apparently to avoid detection after vanishing from radar screens on March 8, a media report said today, suggesting the possibility of a more sinister reason behind the jet's disappearance.....

After reviewing radar data provided by neighbouring countries, investigators have now found that the jetliner curved north of Indonesia before turning south toward the southern Indian Ocean, CNN quoted a Malaysian official as saying.

The official also suggested the possibility of a more sinister reason behind MH370's disappearance a month ago.

The plane's flight path clearly showed that someone on the plane was piloting the aircraft in this manner to avoid detection from Indonesian radars, CNN said, citing the official.

The latest finding added to the already prevailing assumption that the plane was flown deliberately along a route designed to avoid radar detection. But so far investigators have not ruled out other possible causes of the plane's diversion, such as mechanical problems.

It remains unknown who the investigators think might have piloted the aircraft, which carried 239 people on board, including five Indians, after it vanished from radar screens.

a more sinister reason??? more sinister than mass murder followed by pilot suicide???

It appears though that the mangosteens have been cleared of any roll in this incident.

Why would anyone care about radar detection if they planned to fly the thing out into the middle of the ocean and crash?

What about the durian?

After all, this whole thing does have a rank odor.

Because they can sneak bows & arrows past the metal detectors.

Maybe because this report is out of India.

Does that hurt worse than crashing into the ocean?

I think that would be the end result in both scenarios.

It seems odd that if someone suicided himself and hundreds of others that he would want to hide the fact or if extremely unstable care about detection.

They wouldn't. I was being facetious.

If he has friends who are with the same airline, he might want to avoid liability on the part of the airline.

Weak, I know, but possible.

A second reason might be that he wants to keep the world open to moslem pilots...
